By means of precise laser-based paint removal, it is not only possible to spot-de-coat battery housings made of aluminum or galvanized sheet steel, but also to remove paint from enamelled copper wire residue-free. The blank copper wires are thus optimally prepared for the further soldering or welding process in the stator production of the electric…

Automotive flywheel technology for improved efficiency and performance
A new generation of modular electro-mechanical flywheel energy storage systems are being developed for integration into different vehicle types and powertrain architectures. The ultra-high-power density of the flywheel provides an effective hybrid solution for conventional ICE powered vehicles and is equally suited to hybridise the battery energy storage system on board already electrified vehicles such…

Gary L. Horvat, Vice President – eMobility, Navistar, Inc., USA
Plenary Speaker at CTI SYMPOSIUM USA on 9 September 2021, 09:10 AM EDT
Watch Gary Horvat´s pre-video for CTI USA now. Gary will be discussing “Breakthroughs needed for viable electrification of commercial application” at the symposium 2021.
After the merger Navistar is part of the TRATON. Together they want to meet the challenges of new regulations and rapidly evolving technologies in connectivity, powertrain and autonomous driving for our customers worldwide even better and quicker. The group is going to invest almost two billion dollars in electrification by 2025 – part of it could help Navistar to push BE and FC/H2 programs.
