    tech insights

    "An electric drive is less complex than a combustion engine" is often used as an argument in favor of electric cars, as this also reduces the risk of failure and service costs. This is true. However, developers need to take a more differentiated view, at least when looking at the entire powertrain. Here is an overview of the most important tasks -...

    As part of a research project, EDAG Engineering and the Fraunhofer IMWS have joined forces with other partners at to create a child seat made from bio-based and natural fiber-reinforced plastics (bio-NFRP). The aim of this project is to develop sustainable lightweight components that can be manufactured economically in series production of...

    In modern automotive development, innovative manufacturing technologies are increasingly coming to the fore. Additively manufactured electronics (AM) in particular offer promising potential for the integration of electronic components into mechanical parts, which not only increases design freedom, but could also revolutionize development and...

    With industry-specific regulations such as the new EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive and various reporting obligations, more and more companies are being forced to take a closer look at the issue of sustainability. The pressure along the supply chain is also growing. At the same time, a sustainability strategy and the associated improved database...

    The increasing use of composite materials in industry poses new challenges for the circular economy. The reuse of these materials is particularly difficult. However, there is hope: through the intelligent design of components and the development of detachable joining technologies, composite materials can also be used to produce durable and...

    Exterior lighting has taken on a new significance in modern vehicle construction. Decorative design elements are used as well as innovative signal lights. However, conventional measuring and test systems are not set up for lighting systems across the entire width of the vehicle. The EDAG lighting laboratory sets new standards here. Not least due...

    Using the example of a transparent A-pillar and a motorcycle handlebar with structure-integrated cables, EDAG has researched how passive safety can be increased and individualization and greater freedom in component design can be achieved with the help of additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly more...

    Children are not small adults - this sentence is especially true when it comes to car safety. The anatomical and physiological differences to adults require special protective measures to minimize the risk of injury in road accidents for children too. A child's head is larger and heavier in relation to its body, while the neck muscles and skeleton...

    What if the design of an electric drivetrain no longer consisted of , a motor, a gearbox and a housing as well as the battery - but simply defined the path to the desired solution? The DNA as a "construction manual" for a generative development process pays off in particular when there is a large number of options to choose from or different...

    As the battery in an electric vehicle ages, its capacity will eventually drop to below an acceptable threshold level. This does not, however, mean that the battery can no longer be used and needs to be recycled. There is still plenty of capacity for other applications. These batteries can still do more than ten years' service in electricity...
