High-voltage batteries (lithium-ion) for commercial vehicles
Online seminar
VA26-00712
Participation fee: 745 €
The seminar language is German.
At the beginning of the event, the structure and function of lithium-ion battery cells in the vehicle will be explained. The individual production steps of battery cells are then explained. A presentation of the commonly used electrode materials is followed by an evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of various cell chemistries and cell designs for use in a commercial vehicle. Building on this, an introduction to the design and layout of battery cell modules and battery packs is given. Finally, due to the immense importance of the service life of batteries for commercial vehicles, the ageing mechanisms of lithium-ion cells and the life cycle of a high-voltage battery are discussed in detail.

On the topic
The commercial vehicle sector is changing. Emission-free drives are gradually replacing diesel drives as the dominant drive technology in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, among other things. The batteries used in zero-emission commercial vehicles will play a central role in this change, as they have a significant influence on both the technical characteristics of the vehicle and its life cycle costs. The requirements for high-voltage batteries in commercial vehicles and their technical properties can sometimes differ greatly from those of high-voltage batteries in passenger cars. This event will therefore focus on the design and conception of high-voltage batteries for zero-emission commercial vehicles. Emission-free means locally without exhaust fumes. Mobility will only become emission-free with a further increase in the proportion of green electricity.
