At the FVV Transfer + Networking Event | Autumn 2023 from 4 to 6 October 2023 at the Maritim Hotel Würzburg, researchers and industry experts will be informed about the latest IGF interim and final project reports and discuss the FVV's further research needs. In addition to the Expert Groups and the Research Committee, the General Assembly and the Scientific Advisory Committee will also meet as usual each year in autumn.

The research projects of the EG Electric Motors are primarily concerned with propulsion at system level: the optimised interaction of electric motor, inverter and battery. Their scope addresses current issues of relevance to short- and long-term product development, and includes, for example, efficiency enhancement, thermal management and fast-charging capability, as well as resource conservation and recycling at the end of the vehicle's service life. Two project proposals for increasing the speed range of electric traction motors (M0223, M1223) and one project proposal for detecting the SoH state of electric traction batteries (M1623) are being prepared, among others, from the New Project Ideas of the 2023 Spring Conference.

Led by Keiji Kaita (Toyota Motor Co) and Jin Kusaka (Waseda University), the organisers of JSAE and SAE invite you to Kyoto from 29 August to 1 September 2023 to attend the conference entitled »Technical challenges of a carbon-neutral society by 2050«. Keynote speeches will focus on various global trends towards achieving a carbon-neutral society by 2050, followed by an executive panel session in which experts will discuss technological development in relation to four key elements required to meet society's mobility demand: »vehicle electrification«, »internal combustion engines«, »energy, fuels and lubricants« and »zero emissions by 2050«.

Speakers from the FVV network include Prof. Dr. André Casal Kulzer and Prof. Dr. Michael Bargende (IfS), Kelly Senecal (Convergent Science), Marc Sens (IAV), Dr. Olaf Toedter (KIT Campus Transfer), Keiji Kawamoto (AICE) and Dietmar Goericke (FVV).
