How can circular materials meet the structural and thermal demands of modern EVs?
In a recent featured article by JEC Composites, our project partner Dr. Thierry Renault from Compositec explains the innovative work being done within the #ZEvRA project alongside Stellantis. Together, they are developing a thermoplastic composite battery pack top cover based on recycled PET (rPET) and recycled glass fibres, specifically targeted for integration into the Škoda […]
How can recycled thermoplastics and secondary glass fibres be integrated into the manufacture of thermoplastic composites?
Join us for the next edition of the ZEvRA Webinar Series, to get an overview of the manufacturing process for TPC semi-finished products and the moulding of parts by thermocompression. Have a look into a case study on the development of a battery housing top cver, demonstarting how circular materials can be successfully integrated into […]
