Ultrasonics and electromobility – a powerful combination
Electromobility is now regarded as the key to climate-friendly driving practices, because electric vehicles generate significantly less carbon dioxide per kilometer than vehicles with conventional combustion engines – especially in combination with electricity generated from renewable sources. At the same time, the energy storage systems used by electric vehicles can compensate for fluctuations in the electricity grid by means of wind and solar power, thereby supporting the expansion and market integration of these energy sources.
However, the automotive industry is now facing new challenges which need to be addressed in an innovative manner. This also applies to the manufacturing technologies that are required for all aspects of electromobility, from lightweight body construction to the electrical and electronic components and battery production. Processes that use ultrasonics open up interesting possibilities with regard to quality and also from an economic and ecological point of view.
