SPECTRUM 80

In This issue: GenAI Hub, next-gen battery performance, hybrid BEVs, fuel cell aviation

The landscape of mobility and energy is undergoing a profound transformation. At FEV, we are actively shaping this future, driven by our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and efficiency. In this issue of our customer magazine, we showcase cutting-edge developments that push the boundaries of what is possible across industries.

Artificial intelligence is accelerating engineering processes, and our FEV GenAI Hub is at the forefront of this evolution, enabling ever more cost-efficient and rapid development cycles. Meanwhile, as the demand for battery electric vehicles grows, our latest research demonstrates how sub-10-minute charging times can be achieved through advanced battery technology and optimized thermal management, eliminating a significant barrier to widespread EV adoption.

We continue to lead in sustainable powertrain solutions. Our work on next-generation battery management systems unlocks the full potential of emerging cell chemistries, while our expertise in electric drive units ensures that future powertrains are more efficient, durable, and cost-effective. Similarly, in this issue of SPECTRUM we showcase developments in hybrid battery electric vehicles which are gaining traction as a viable bridge to climate-neutral mobility, combining the best of both ICE and BEV technologies.

Our competencies in the field of energy and resources further strengthen this vision, with innovative solutions for renewable energy systems, energy storage, and holistic sector coupling.

Hydrogen and alternative fuels remain critical pillars in the decarbonization of transportation as well. Breaking the 30-bar barrier in hydrogen-fueled engines marks a milestone for commercial applications. Ammonia’s potential for high-speed marine engines is equally promising, paving the way for sustainable propulsion in the maritime sector. In aviation, our work on fuel cells and sustainable aviation fuels underscores FEV’s commitment to making air transport more environmentally friendly, with innovative solutions tailored to the industry’s unique challenges.

We hope you find inspiration in the pioneering developments featured in this issue – embodied in the rotating “e” of our company name on the cover. Let’s continue working together toward a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient future.
