Aachen – Customer requirements for the evolution of electric cars are clearly defined: reduced weight at increased efficiency, higher range at shorter charging times and maximum safety. FEV, Germany's innovation powerhouse for the automotive and energy industry, and ProLogium, global pioneer in developing advanced vehicle batteries, fulfill precisely these requirements with their new product.

Tampere University has been awarded €1 million in Horizon Europe funding for two ground-breaking projects aimed at advancing the development and large-scale production of next-generation (Gen4b) lithium metal anode solid-state batteries (LiM-SSBs). The projects, called SOLVE and HyList, are set to revolutionise battery technology by focusing on the development of safer and more durable batteries for mobility applications.

Tampereen yliopisto on saanut 1 miljoonan euron rahoituksen Horizon Europe -ohjelmasta kahdelle tutkimushankkeelle, joissa kehitetään seuraavan sukupolven akkuteknologiaa sähköisen liikenteen tarpeisiin. Uudenlaiset litiummetallianodeihin perustuvat kiinteäelektrolyyttiset Gen4b-akut (lithium metal anode solid-state batteries, LiM-SSB) ovat turvallisempia, kestävämpiä ja ympäristöystävällisempiä kuin nykyiset akkutyypit.

Bonn (Germany) The Bonn-based company High Performance Battery (HPB) has achieved a decisive breakthrough in battery and storage technology: a team led by Prof. Dr. Günther Hambitzer has developed the world’s first solid-state battery with outstanding properties to production readiness. The applications range from stationary storage for home and industrial use to charging infrastructures and the mobility segment – such as the automotive industry. “We are not only opening a new chapter in battery technology,” explains Sebastian Heinz, CEO of HPB, “but are also making a decisive contribution to the energy transition and climate protection worldwide”. The data and properties measured so far show significantly better values and characteristics compared to the currently dominant lithium-ion batteries. Longevity: While conventional lithium-ion batteries have to be replaced after about 1,250 charging cycles – with hourly charging and discharging – the HPB solid-state battery currently has at
