CIRP Collaborative Working-Group on Production Technologies and Systems for E-Mobility

WELCOME to the CIRP Collaborative Working Group (CWG) on Production Technologies & Systems for E-Mobility Chair: Prof. Jörg Franke, FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Vice-Chair: Prof. Jürgen Fleischer, KIT Karlsruhe, Germany Secretary: Prof. Darek Ceglarek, WMG, University of Warwick, United Kingdom The CIRP CWG brings together researchers & practitioners interested in contributing towards the electrification revolution in industry. The CWG creation was motivated by the growth of the e-mobility sector & the fact that large arrays of products and production process technologies are required for Net-zero. The CWG provides a platform to discuss production technologies and strategies for high volume production; including challenges and future perspectives regarding their full digitalisation. The CWG on Production Technologies and Systems for E-Mobility meets bi-annually: CIRP Winter Meeting, Paris (February) & CIRP GA (Aug). Examples of technical contributions discussed during last CIRP GA meeting held on August 25th, 2022 in Bilbao, Spain: (1) Planned Outcome of CWG on Production Technologies and Systems for E-Mobility a. E|PTS 2023 CIRP Sponsored Conference on Production Technologies and Systems for E-Mobility b. Initiative for the Creation of Education Programs on E-Mobility c. Cooperation Opportunities within International Research Projects 2. Technical contributions on Lifecycle Assessment in E-Mobility a. Electric Vehicle Drive Trains – Successes and Challenges, Prof. Richard McMahon, University of Warwick, UK b. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in E-Mobility. Three presentations on the following aspects of the LCA: Part 1: Framework and link to absolute sustainability, Prof. Michael Hauschild, DTU Lyngby, Denmark Part 2: Factors influencing the energy consumption of electric vehicles in the usage stage, Prof. Sami Kara, UNSW Sydney, Australia Part 3: Integration of the spatial dimension and exemplary results, Prof. Christoph Herrmann, TU Braunschweig,
