E-Mobility

Finger push e-mobility start button

The automotive world has been faced in recent years with the greatest transition in a long time. The conventional combustion engine is competing with hybrid and electric drive concepts. Current forecasts of leading business consultants point to strong growth for electric vehicles. The percentage of battery-operated vehicles is predicted to reach about 59% by 2035.

Topics in focus


Battery manufacturing

Electric motor manufacturing

Battery recycling

Hydrogen and fuel cell manufacturing

Charging technology

ifm is focusing currently and long-term on five areas in e-mobility. Production of lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing of electric motors are paramount, while issues related to charging technology, battery recycling and manufacturing of fuel cells are monitored long-term.

The lithium-ion battery is the core element of an electric car. In order to be able to withstand competitive pressure and ensure sustainable success, battery producers as well as machine and system engineering companies need to optimize their processes wherever possible.
