Ever thought about rolling noises of electric vehicles? 🚗👂 In general, EVs face increased road noise due to the absence of engine sounds. To enhance comfort, manufacturers use "silent tires," but current methods can raise costs by up to 25%. In collaboration with 4JET we have introduced an innovative solution to tackle this challenge: ➡️ A new process that simplifies the production of quiet tires in electric vehicles, cutting costs and boosting #sustainability. Henkel Adhesive Technologies' innovative Loctite LASER-FIT acoustic foam is applied in liquid form directly inside the tire, activated by a laser, streamlining production and reducing material waste. This technology not only lowers costs but also improves the tire’s CO₂ footprint, supporting the future of sustainable mobility.

Embracing #sustainability in #batteryproduction takes more than just using eco-friendly materials. It's about minimizing waste at every stage of the process (McKinsey Global Institute), especially with the estimated market growth. #Automated #inspection systems are essential to meet this demand. These systems overcome the limitations of human-dependent visual inspections, ensuring consistent and objective evaluation, thus contributing to the production of flawless and high-performance batteries - aligning with the principles of a circular #economy.

Of all the trends you'll see at NPE2024, this one is BIG. Not only is the auto industry transitioning to electrification but there are concerted efforts to modify the materials used, especially polymers, for interior applications. https://bit.ly/4cMTwxU #NPE2024 #automotive #sustainability

#Flexcrash's technology contributes to directly reduce the fatalities risks in road crashes, but also reducing #CO2 emissions coming from the direct contribution of the lightweighting of car body parts, and from the simplification of the entire supply chain.  https://lnkd.in/d3J-PY9m

Do you know our “Design for #Sustainability” standard? At #ZF, we are laying down the building blocks for #remanufacturing during product development. Besides other sustainability-related aspects, specific requirements to improve the circularity and remanufacturing of ZF products are integrated into the design process. This serves as a guide to reduce resource use and support a sustainable product life cycle. With this in place, we want to integrate those technical requirements for as many ZF products as possible and enable a second life. For example, we use more corrosion-resistant materials and specific connection #technologies that allow a damage-free disassembly. In addition, some next product generations are already designed in such a way that they can be remanufactured. Read more about Remanufacturing at ZF: https://spr.ly/6049wWO8V.
