MARBEL WORKSHOP

Innovating Electric Vehicle battery pack technologies

Join us for an engaging workshop aimed at accelerating the mass market adoption of electric vehicles through innovative battery pack technologies. Hosted by BATTECH, this event will showcase the advances of the European project MARBEL in overcoming current and future challenges in electric vehicle battery systems.

The workshop aims to show the experiences, knowledge and results derived from the MARBEL project. 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 a switchable Junction Box for ultra-fast charging and a smart cell manager for wireless communications.

At the end of the event attendees will have the possibility to visit Eurecat Battery labs and gain firsthand insights with one of MARBEL’s battery modules.
