Cologne, Germany
Marelli, a
leading global automotive supplier, has signed an agreement with RWTH Aachen
University, one of the leading German technical universities, for collaborating
in the area of e-mobility.
Marelli launched
a new plant for EV motors in Cologne, Germany, in the first half of 2021, for
which it worked with experts from nearby Aachen.
The partnership
between Marelli and the University’s Chair ‘Production Engineering of
E-Mobility Components’ (PEM) will be focused on new technologies for electric
vehicles (EVs) as well as related production technologies. They plan to
collaborate on specific research projects like increasing the permanent
performance of electric motors as well as the development of a new electric
motor and its production in a so-called scale-up factory.
Joachim Fetzer,
Chief Technology and Innovation Officer of Marelli, “With this new cooperation,
two pioneers of vehicle electrification are joining forces. While RWTH’s PEM
chair is known for its profound expertise in this field, Marelli has a unique
offering as a full system provider for electric powertrains which is
complemented by our thermal and battery management solutions.”
Professor Achim
Kampker, Founder of PEM and Head of the Institute, said. “It takes strong
networks and a pioneering spirit to drive great innovation. We are pleased to
have gained an excellent partner to push the electric drive forward.”
