Erwartete Ergebnisse

Project results are expected to contribute to the improved circularity of end-of-first-life representative EV components (e.g. power electronic converters, rotors, stators of electric motors, thermal management of battery system), and, if relevant EVCI, through accurate and standardised assessment of product data, better design strategies and potential business models.

Further to this, each area has specific expected outcomes as described below.

Expected outcomes area A) Circular economy for Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrains and infrastructure:

Project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:

• Minimized cradle to grave/cradle environmental impact of EV drivetrains (excluding batteries at cell level) and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI), especially electro-mechanical components and power-electronics, via design strategies for extended lifetime and reduced usage of CRM, and other materials, particularly those that may hamper high quality recycling (e.g. harmful substances), while ensuring high performance and market acceptability.

• Improved repair, recovery, refurbish and re-use of end-of-first-life drivetrain components and EVCI through accurate and standardised assessment of the health and Remaining Useful Life (RUL), which should inform better design strategies and potential business models.

Expected outcomes Area B) Data-driven life-cycle management of Electric Vehicle (EV):

• Digital-twin based circularity product passport on vehicle level, which is interoperable / compatible with the upcoming battery passport and other relevant product passports foreseen in the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). [1]

• The ability to track & trace linked to representative EV components (e.g. power electronic converters, rotors, stators of electric motors, thermal management of battery system) by enabling advanced data collection, and the definition of minimum data needed for track & trace use in End of Life (EoL) strategies and feedback to design processes.

• Proven concept and business case for the management of data driven product lifecycle across value chains and supply chains along the entire life cycle.

Umfang

Scope area A) Circular economy for Electric Vehicle (EV) powertrains and infrastructure :

Improving the circularity of EVs drivetrain components (such as power electronic converters, rotors, stators of electric motors, gear assemblies and battery components excluding battery cells) and respective charging infrastructure is crucial for resource efficiency, sustainability, and compliance with evolving European regulations. Through durable design, predictive maintenance, refurbishment, etc, it is possible to extend the lifespan of critical components reducing material demand and waste, without jeopardising on the needed performance. Advanced monitoring systems can predict failures, enabling proactive repairs, and to inform improved future design strategies, and potential second life applications. Automated processes coupled with design for dismantling can facilitate efficient component recovery, reducing labour costs and improving material separation for high-value recycling.

The projects are expected to build on the results of projects funded under HORIZON-CL5-2021-D5-01-04 , HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-09 and HORIZON-CL5-2025-04-D5-04 , as well as to consider the methodologies proposed. They are expected to target at least the same technical performance levels for the electric motor as HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-09 under real-life working conditions, while optimising the design for circularity.

Proposals are expected to address all the following research activities:

• Component health monitoring for individual components on their RUL (first and subsequent) including assessment of preferred circularity strategy and expected impact on EV affordability. This includes considering the impact of wear patterns, material fatigue, and thermal stress to optimise circularity strategies and extend the lifespan of components.

• Develop novel design concepts and processes to optimise material usage and extend components’ lifetime such as design for (automated) dismantling, in particular to reduce dependency on critical raw materials or enable use of alternatives.

• Promote broader Circular Economy (CE) adoption and increase the potential of reuse, repair and refurbishment by respective design criteria, means of standardisation (assessment and relevant interfaces), usage of RUL monitoring and better understanding of market potential.

• Ensure economic and environmental sustainability in the analysis of drivetrain performance and charging infrastructure (e.g. efficiency, package, user driving experience, CRM use, CE).

Scope area B) Data-driven life-cycle management of Electric Vehicle (EV):

Vehicle specific data is crucial for advancing circularity through the 9R-strategies in EVs across their lifecycle. However, this data is often not available nor accessible after vehicle production, or not measured in the use phase. Digital passports and track and trace models can improve accessibility to data, enabling predictive maintenance, lifetime extension, and optimised…
