Data-driven circular economy for e-mobility ecosystem (2ZERO Partnership)
Project results are expected to contribute to the improved circularity of end-of-first-life representative EV components (e.g. power electronic converters, rotors, stators of electric motors, thermal management of battery system), and, if relevant EVCI, through accurate and standardised assessment of product data, better design strategies and potential business models. Further to this, each area has specific…
