The ID.30 and ID.40 models open a new chapter for the Volkswagen brand and the entire Group and make electromobility suitable for the masses. Electricity is required to operate the electric vehicles, stored in many small battery cells and modules the size of a shoebox. They are the heart of the e-vehicle - and its key components. But what happens when a battery reaches the end of its life? The solution was found by Research and Development at the Volkswagen Group and made ready for series production together with Volkswagen Group Components: An innovative and sustainable process for battery recycling that Volkswagen Group Components is now using in a pilot plant at the Salzgitter location

5 October 2021 71 Views

Volkswagen Group Components has opened one of the most modern laboratories for cell research and development in Europe in Salzgitter, Germany. Thus, the global Volkswagen Group is further expanding its expertise in battery technology and taking the next step towards developing and producing its own battery cells for electric vehicles. From 2025 onwards, the Volkswagen unified cell is scheduled to roll off the production line in Salzgitter. In the future, around 250 experts will conduct research in the areas of cell development, analytics and testing in a total of four laboratories. The Group is investing some 70 million euros in the facilities. The new unified cell for the volume segment is scheduled to roll off the production line at the Gigafactory in Salzgitter from 2025. By 2030, the Volkswagen Group plans to operate six cell factories in Europe together with partners with a production capacity of 240 GWh. Prospectively, cells with an annual capacity of 40 GWh could be produced in Salzgitter. The new unified cell is expected to unlock synergies and reduce battery costs by up to 50 percent.

Carlos Sainz starts his adventure with the Scuderia Interview

3 February 2021 54 Views

At 9.30 the shutters rolled up on the pit garage at the Fiorano track and a minute later Carlos Sainz was out for his first lap at the wheel of a Ferrari Formula 1 car. Naturally enough, the 26 year-old from Madrid ran his usual F1 number 55 on the SF71H, the 2018 car, as he completed more than a hundred laps on his maiden outing with the Scuderia. Carlos worked with the engineers he had already met in several meetings held over the past weeks and also got to know the mechanics and the car procedures, many of which will also be relevant to this year’s SF21, which he and Charles Leclerc will drive for the first time at the pre-season test in Bahrain during the second week in March.
