Europe’s Premier E-Motor Technology Conference is back after the record-breaking success of the 10th-anniversary edition of the event, with new content, new speakers, and brand-new gamified formats.

As the industry becomes more and more electrified, and sustainability and the environmental impact of products stay top of mind, finding the optimal balance between cost, performance, efficiency, and sustainability is not only a major priority but also an enormous challenge.

Learn more on the current journey to recyclable e-motors! Automotive IQ speaks with Dr Jill Miscandlon - Senior Manufacturing Engineer, National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, University of Strathclyde to find out where e-motor design strategists currently stand with recycling, and where it sits on the economy hierarchy. Jill discusses how we can ensure every part of the motor is optimally processed after its first life cycle.

The industry is now at a stage where e-motor designs are efficient at a high level, with the next phase being to improve the e-motor, which requires the application of different manufacturing techniques. This involves evaluating manufacturing and the way it interplays with design and how this can help to optimise e-motors.

Automotive IQ spoke to Roberto J. Almeida e Silva, Head of R&D Automotive Drive Systems, on examining advanced manufacturing techniques and how they interplay with design.

Learn from Richard Burke, UK Engineering Director at Protean Electric, on the techniques Protean use to tailor the inverter to reduce noise in the e-motor. Noise Vibration Harshness can certainly be reduced, but it's easier said than done and can it be completely reduced to nothing? Get your copy of this exclusive interview to see how Richard references Star Wars to describe the noise of the e-motor.

Download your copy of this exclusive interview to learn how the industry is no longer viewing the e-motor in isolation and is considering it in relation to the rest of the drivetrain. Gabriel Domingues Olavarría, Senior Staff Engineer at BorgWarner extensively details the optimization of the complete powertrain, focusing on the challenges and solutions that are being found at BorgWarner, as well as explaining the changes to e-motors in recent years.

Interview with Dr. João Bonifácio, Head of System Development Advanced Engineering - Electrified Powertrain Technology at ZF Group

The conversation surrounding the use of rare earth materials and the environmental impact and cost of using them, has led to many in the industry actively working to move away from the use of rare earth metals like cobalt and neodymium. The key challenge for the industry is finding alternatives that produce the same or more levels of efficiency as the permanent magnet motor. Wanting to understand how or if this could be done, Automotive IQ spoke with Dr. João Bonifácio, Head of System Development Advanced Engineering - Electrified Powertrain Technology at ZF Group to learn insights on reducing rare earth materials, improving efficiency in doing so and what alternatives can be used.

• Learn how to reduce rare earth materials or completely remove them from motors while maintaining efficiency

• Learn how to incorporate rare earth free motors into different models

• Find solutions to challenges related to reducing the amount of rare earth materials in motors

• Discuss the technologies that can help eliminate the dependency on these materials

Presentation by Dr. Jill Miscandlon, Senior Manufacturing Engineer, National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, University of Strathclyde - Where recycling & second life is a priority, not an afterthought!

Jill shows an example of how they enhanced the circular economy through innovative redesign of Airbus components at the University of Strathclyde.

The University of Strathclyde collaborated with Airbus and the European Space Agency to alter the production of propellant tanks, aiming to address sustainability concerns and contribute positively to the circular economy. The project focused on redefining manufacturing processes, incorporating repair strategies, promoting reuse, emphasising remanufacture, and maximising recycling.

We're continuing the discussion of sustainability at the Advanced E-Motor Technologies Europe 2024 conference!
