Development of hydrogen pressure vessels with multiscale simulation

Hydrogen storage as an enabler for sustainable mobility Hardly any other technology brings engineers and environmentalists together faster than hydrogen/fuel cell propulsion. After all, the vision of emission-free energy generation and use seems obvious: Theoretically, hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis with renewable energies without […]

Kohlefaserbauteile bei Volvo: Composite-Leichtbau mit innovativen Design

Carbon Composites in Volvo’s Polestar 1: Avantgarde or Copy Cat?

Obviously, Geely’s acquisition of Volvo has not detracted the company from its innovativeness. On the contrary: From 2019 on, only electrified vehicles will be on offer. In addition to the drive technology, the company also relies on innovative lightweight design – at least in the […]
