- 2. Please mute your microphone and open it only to ask questions in the dedicated discussion slots at the end of each presentaion and in the closing session Use the chat to ask questions and submit comments during the entire workshop Raise your virtual hand if you want to ask a question in the dedicated discussion slots Presentations will be available for dowload in the CarE-Service project website (www.careserviceproject.eu) Connection recommendations
- 3. Goals of CarE-Service Exploitation Seminars ✓ Diffuse intermediate and envisaged project results ✓ Collect feedbacks and recommendations from external stakeholders to fine-tune results in order to meet market needs ✓ Collect interest of external companies to be involved as «tester» in the last phase of the project ✓ Build a community of potential partners, exploiters and replicators of project results to involve in last year project activities and future exploitation ✓ Promote the culture of Circular Economy and share experiences, success stories and barriers

- 7. • Jobplaces and welfare (12 million jobplaces, 780 billion turnover, 140 billion value added) • Citizens’ quality of life • Environmental sustainability • Sustains other supply chains (materials, electronics, machine tools, automation, …) • Triggers innovation in other sectors The paradigm shift in automotive industry Automotive industry one of the most relevant manufacturing industries in Europe By 2040 the 35% of the newly sold vehicles will be electric Paradigm shift Traditional fuel cars Electric & Hybrid Electric Vehicles (E&HEVs)
- 8. High Total Cost of Ownership of E&HEVs € Current and future challenges • High initial cost of E&HEVs due to battery and other high added-value materials and components • Battery life • Maintenance cost Users’ experience • Vehicle performance and autonomy • Maintenance need • Recharging stations • …. End-Of-Life EU is not currently prepared to efficiently manage the EOL of E&HEVs: • No consolidated processes and technologies for E&HEVs EOL • No value chains for E&HEVs EOL
- 9. New high added-value parts and components in E&HEVs Battery system Techno polymers Composites Electronics … Circluar Economy of E&HEVs: technological barriers What to do with them at the EOL? How to safely disassemble and treat for re-use? • Lack of consolidated processes and technologies • Components are not designed to be re-used
- 10. • Lack of consolidated re-use chains • Unclear sustainability of re-use business models • Limited number of post-use cars in this ramp-up phase • Unexplored re-use market • Risk of market un-acceptance • Regulation does not support re-use Circluar Economy of E&HEVs: business and systemic barriers
- 11. • Redesign E&HEVs for circular economy • Develop EU leadership in advanced technologies for re-use of E&HEVs • Reduce TCO of E&HEVs • Create new value chains and businesses in EU around Circular Economy of E&HEVs The concept of CarE-Service Innovative mobility services for citizens based on E&HEVs • Increase citizens’ quality of life through circular economy of E&HEVs • Increase market acceptance and change consumers’ behavior • Guarantee return-flow of E&HEVs • Increase market of innovative services • Create a suitable regulatory framework
- 12. Concept
- 13. New mobility products-services • Non-ownership: • car sharing, renting, leasing • Performance-oriented: • Responsibility of the service provider for vehicle availability and performance • Quality reward criteria for customers returning vehicles • Exploiting benefits of circular economy: • Reduced cost of spares • Reduced cost of vehicles built with re- usable parts • Continuous functional and aesthetic upgrade of parts through remanufacturing/refurbishing at low cost • High market segmentation Benefits for customers: • higher affordability • better assistance • Increased overall transportation performance • improved user experience
- 14. Smart Mobile Modules Mobile units bringing advanced technology for on-site disassembly and testing/certification where is the demand Disassembly Module • DSS suggesting which components to disassemble based on car sensors data, manufacturer product data and market • Disassembly guidelines • Robotics cooperative disassembly • Mechatronics tools Testing Module Functional, geometric, mechanical and electric testing methods and technologies for: • Certification of re-usable parts • Testing of components and parts for remanufacturing • estimation of the type and content of high value-added materials for recycling
- 15. Re-use technologies for Li-Ion batteries Dismantling technology for disassembly of battery cells Human-robot cooperation to separate plastic, wires, electronic controllers and cell batteries Testing technology and algorithms to predict residual life Charge/discharge cell behaviour test, protocols and software for assessing battery SoH Compounds recovery technology Hydrometallurgy to sustainably recover Li, Co, Mn, Al, etc. Re-use in other applications Solar panels, e-bikes, pigments, etc.
- 16. Re-use technologies for metal parts New flexible joining technologies Disassemble and re-assemble modules of structural metal parts as spares or restyled models elements Cold reforming of external non-structural elements Obtain new parts to use as spares or to upgrade vehicles aesthetics at sustainable conditions
- 17. Re-use technologies for techno-polymers New recycling process for techno-polymers • Separation of metal sub-parts • Grinding of new formulation compounds • Extrusion for transformation of new parts (for automotive and other sectors such as furniture, design, etc.) • Testing of materials properties
- 18. CarE-Service ICT Platform ICT Platform connecting demand and supply of re-usable parts and allowing the coordination and optimization of the re-use value chain
- 19. Demonstration •Technical solutions in 3 re- use value chains •Re-use applications •Mobility services (multiple locations, customers involvement) •Overall business sustainability •Social impact Join our project ! Exploitation •Open industrial training workshops •Exploitation meetings •First market replicators •Regional Authorities involved •White paper for regulation •Community of customers Stakeholders’ Group Consumers’ Committee Social Community
