Electromobility Seminar at Swerim

Great interest in Swerim’s Electromobility Seminar!

Throughout the day, current trends, material challenges, and future needs related to the rapid transformation of the transport sector were highlighted.

The program offered three content-rich sessions focusing on:

  • the role of metallic materials in electromobility,
  • ongoing material developments for electric vehicles,
  • raw material sourcing and recycling – crucial areas for a sustainable and competitive industry.

A big thank you to all participants, and especially to our speaker's who provided valuable insights and sparked engaging discussions. It was a rewarding day that clearly demonstrated the strong commitment to driving development forward!

Not to forget – our researchers who welcomed the participants into their laboratories during the guided tour.
