In April of 2025 E-VOLVE Cluster members took a trip to the United States of America to attend the SAE World Congress in Detroit.

For the conference two collaborative papers of cluster members were presented. Be sure to click on the link and get a greater picture of our contribution.

“European Initiatives for User-Centric Design of Electric Vehicles” a paper written by EFFEREST, MINDED and SmartCorners. The paper presents the latest advancements of the research projects and showcases their complementarities to address the European priorities as identified in the 2Zero SRIA.
“European Initiatives Addressing High Efficiency and Low-Cost Electric Motors for Circularity and Low use of Rare Resources” a paper written by EM-TECH, HEFT, MAXIMA, VOLTCAR and ClimaFlux. This paper outlines the latest advances of the projects and showcases their complementarities to address the European priorities as identified in the 2Zero SRIA. All following the target of high efficiency and low-cost electric motors for circularity and low use of rare resources.
