China’s Ministry of Commerce has taken a significant step with potential global implications. On July 3, they introduced restrictions on gallium exports due to national security concerns. This move could lead to shortages of gallium, a critical component used in […]
To strengthen the economy, environment, and single market, the Commission suggests circular measures for the automobile industry. Expects the creation of jobs, €1.8 billion in net revenue, and better waste management. is to increase recycling, cut CO2 emissions, and support […]
Electric vehicles (EVs) are crucial for reducing the negative impacts of road transport on health, the environment, and climate. However, achieving sustainable road transport in Europe requires more than just EVs. We must consider the broader mobility system and emphasize […]
Wonderful news! With the approval of the “Fit for 55” package, the European Union has made a huge breakthrough in its aim for a greener future. The European Commission’s plan to require zero-emission vehicle registration for all new cars and […]
Lightweight design and electrified powertrain have become important strategies in the automotive industry to reduce fuel demand and break down emissions respectively. Lightweighting of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is considered a step forward because the advantages of both EVs and lightweight […]
Over the last few decades, aluminium alloys have been increasingly used in the construction and automotive sector due to their favourable properties. Thereafter, many research projects such as the FLAMINGo have been carried out with the aim to obtain a […]
In January 2021, an interesting article was published related to topology optimization in structural steel design and additive manufacturing. Topology Optimisation is a broad concept deemed to encapsulate different processes for computationally determining structural materials’ optimal layouts. With the purpose […]
A new report by the International Aluminium Institute reveals that global aluminium demand will increase by almost 40 per cent by 2030 and that the aluminium sector will need to produce an additional 33.3 Mt to meet demand growth in […]
This publication showcases a framework for the design of automotive parts using topology optimization and additive manufacturing (AM). The long production times, post processing, and surface quality of AM processes deters companies from deploying it as a true manufacturing solution, […]
FLAMINGo was recently included in the project portfolio of EGVIA. The European Green Vehicles Initiative Association for the 2Zero partnership (EGVIAfor2Zero) is an international non-profit association engaged with the European Commission into the 2Zero partnership in order to represent the Partners other than […]
