On Feb 27th and 28th, MARii organized a workshop in collaboration with the Department of Standards Malaysia and Japanese experts focusing on Charging Systems and EV Battery standards. Participants gained insights into the significance of standardization, and the knowledge acquired from Japanese experts is expected to pave the way for the standardization of Charging Systems and EV Batteries in Malaysia. At MARii, we play a proactive role in standard development, offering technical insights and expertise to ensure that standards are not only technically feasible but also practical for industry implementation. We keep abreast of the latest research and development in the automotive sector, conducting studies to gather data that guide the standardization process. Moreover, we actively engage in automotive industry standardization committees, contributing to discussions and the ongoing development of industry standards. Wrapping up the Workshop on Standardization Activities for Charging Systems and EV Batteries, participants from diverse sectors in Malaysia (government, academia and Industry) gained valuable insights from Japanese experts. This collective knowledge sets the stage for comprehensive standards development. Big thanks to the Department of Standards Malaysia for co-organizing this impactful workshop with MARii! #mariiofficial #mariimeetindustry #ev #chargingsystems

The new Hardware in Loop (HIL) test solutions from Chroma focus on innovative (HIL) test solutions tailored specifically for testing of battery systems and components within new energy vehicles. This encompasses thorough testing of battery modules, battery management systems (BMS), and the crucial cooling/heating systems. Moreover, our HIL solutions offer versatile capabilities to assess electric vehicle charging systems and powertrain components. Their flexibility supports customized hardware configurations, platform sharing, and expansion. A key highlight of our HIL solutions are their application in end-of-line (EOL) production testing for battery packs. Through a comprehensive Pass/Fail check, we ensure the robustness and performance of battery assemblies. This includes mechanism assembly, pressure insulation, BMS communication, internal high voltage relay parts, battery balance, and temperature distribution Check out our ad: https://lnkd.in/eYV5vEWN #chromaeu #HIL #testsolutions #batterysystems #components #energyvehicles

Back in the day, manufacturing was a slow and labour-intensive process, but then came the Lean Assembly Line, a true game-changer! In the 20th century, Japanese engineer Taiichi Ohno introduced this revolutionary concept, eliminating waste and unleashing newfound efficiency.  Inspired by Ohno's vision, our Lean Assembly Line has transformed the manufacturing landscape. By reorganizing production and eliminating unnecessary steps, we have optimized our processes to deliver the utmost efficiency and quality to our valued customers.  Stay tuned for more such facts and our work at TEAL! #DidYouKnow #Facts #titanteal #electricvehicle #automotiveindustry #engineering #automation 

Kicking off Southwest Research Institute's Advanced Fluids for Electric Vehicles (AFEV) PAC meeting in Nagoya, Japan. Over 70 engineers and scientists from the 26 OEM and supplier members of the consortium are joining us to discuss the requirements for improving fluids used in electric motors and e-axles. We started the meeting off with a meet-and-great at a local beer hall last night. This morning, we are kicking the meeting off with an introduction from Toyota on their plans to achieve Carbon Neutrality, followed by progress reports on the High Speed Gearbox Durability task and the Materials Compatibility task. If your company isn't a member, and you are interested in understanding how to improve the match between electric machines and the fluids that cool and lubricate them, let us know. #research #electricvehicles #sustainability #electricmotors

At the intersection of innovation and the real world: Mogensen Test Center Hjo. At our test center in Sweden, we close the gap between innovative engineering and practical application. This facility, equipped with the latest technology and staffed by skilled technicians, offers our customers the opportunity to conduct comprehensive tests with their actual raw materials. This hands-on environment where the capabilities of our diverse equipment lineup can be demonstrated, ensures that our ongoing developments are not only theoretically sound, but also practically effective and fine-tuned to meet the unique challenges and requirements of different industries. This innovation hub where more than 50 years of experience come to life is a key driver in the evolution of materials processing. The center's dedication to real-world testing and results leads to the optimization of operational parameters such as throughput efficiency, material compatibility, and system integration, ensuring that every piece of equipment we deliver is robust, reliable, and ready for the challenges of scalable production environments. #mogensen #hjotestcenter #realworldtesting #engineeringprecision #materialhandling #innovationinaction #processoptimization #technologicaladvancement

Automotive Testing Technology International covers the import topic of CFD feature. And points out Kalmar vehicle conversion specialist discovered the power of CFD many years ago:) https://lnkd.in/dYv75RU4

Last year I did a site search for an existing building. We also discussed part of the Opel production facility in Szentgotthard as a possible building. The building was ruled out early on. Nevertheless, I have been wondering what is happening/will happen in #Szentgotthard. Good to hear that #stellantis is now investing >€100m in production and R&D at the site. An important cornerstone for the automotive industry in Hungary. Having soon 6 OEMs #audi #mercedes #bmw #stellantis #suzuki #byd and so many supplier is a strong sign of the competitiveness of Hungarian automotive production. Are you planning a new site or to transfer production to CEE? Get in touch to know more about Factory Location Scouting and how we can successfully search your next site and transfer your production! #hungary #siteselection #manufacturing #hipa #productiontransfer
