➀ The Bavarian State Minister Hubert Aiwanger has opened the new technology center of the Fraunhofer IISB for research into contactless energy transfer for electric vehicles, and awarded the funding certificate.

➁ The E|Road-Center is another milestone in the high-tech spectrum of the Cleantech Innovation Park in Hallstadt near Bamberg.

➂ The center focuses on technologies for contactless energy transfer from the road directly into the electric vehicle, while stationary and during operation.

➀ Regina Luig developed a method for indirect temperature monitoring of the rotor magnets in electric motors during her bachelor's thesis at Hochschule Coburg.

➁ Instead of temperature, she measures changes in the magnetic field, which weaken as the motor heats up.

➂ This innovative approach helps prevent overheating and reduces the need for rare earth materials, thus contributing to the sustainability of electric motors.

➀ The first KickStart team at Hochschule Koblenz has achieved a significant milestone by successfully filing a patent for an innovative payment solution called BEZLAD.

➁ Developed by Daniel Funk, Micha Bär, Marcel Klee, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Udo Gnasa and patent attorney Hans-Peter Müller, BEZLAD enables easy management and billing of private charging processes for electric vehicles.

➂ The university supported the project in various ways, including covering the costs of the patent application and providing access to expertise from the startup office and the StartUpLab.

➀ The EU project led by Empa significantly improved batteries for electric vehicles over four years;

➁ The goal was to scale new materials and technologies to market as quickly as possible;

➂ The project developed a new battery module with higher energy density, better environmental footprint, and improved safety features.

➀ In 2024, EV and fuel cell vehicle sales grew by 25% to reach 16.9 million units, with China's market share expanding to 67%;

➁ Tesla maintained its top position in BEV sales, followed by BYD and SAIC-GM-Wuling, which saw significant growth;

➂ BYD dominated the PHEV segment with a 38% market share, and the industry is expected to see consolidation and potential mergers in 2025.

➀ The increasing share of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates a growing need for skilled professionals in the field.

➁ Vocational school teachers from across Bavaria are being trained at the Hochschule Coburg to keep up with the latest technology in EVs.
