FINAL EVENT
MARBEL project outcomes - Next generation battery pack for the automotive industry
This event aims to show the experiences, knowledge and results derived from the European MARBEL project, aimed at manufacturing and assembling innovative modular and reusable Electric Vehicle batteries for environment-friendly and lightweight mobility.
Attendees will delve into the details of manufacturing advanced EV battery solutions, from a methodology to incorporate eco-design principles in battery design to the battery management system and innovations behind. Moreover, innovative testing procedures and battery packs’ performance evaluation for a battery reuse in second life applications will be presented.
During the event attendees will have the possibility to gain firsthand insights with MARBEL’s battery packs and modules.
