With These Cars, Nio and GAC Want to Conquer Europe Nio and GAC have understood that European customers operate somewhat differently than those in their home market of China. It requires long-range and highly technological models that could occupy niches neglected by European OEMs until now. Jürgen Zöllter
Concepts for the Development of Battery Management Systems Current Battery Management Systems (BMS) must efficiently process voltage, current, and temperature measurements to ensure a safe operating state. More computing power and the advent of edge processing can be a solution here. Sabine Synkule
All the Information on Solid-State Batteries in Electric Vehicles The race for long-range solid-state batteries is gaining momentum. While the technical challenges of the batteries of the future still need to be overcome, these automakers are positioning themselves with the help of research and startups. Götz Fuchslocher
The Development of the Battery Raw Materials Market The European industry remains too dependent on risky imports from abroad for battery materials. This is shown by a recent analysis, which is exclusively available to Automobil Produktion. Werner Beutnagel
These are the Future Platforms of Car Manufacturers Never before has a platform strategy been so important and at the same time so easy to implement as with the electric car. But what new modular systems are German manufacturers planning and when will they hit the market? We summarise. Thomas Geiger
