Development of a modular and scalable traction battery system for special vehicles with production data acquisition and lifelong component tracking<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t In the research project ModE-SoFa (Modular scalable battery housing for the electrification of special vehicles), the project partners are developing a modular and scalable traction battery system for special vehicles.<\/p>\n For special vehicles, the vehicle-specific space restrictions pose a challenge for battery housings. So far, welded aluminum constructions have been used for this purpose. However, these are very complex and expensive to manufacture and also have a relatively high weight.<\/p>\n ModE-SoFa is developing a modular lightweight construction approach, where the spatial situation can be flexibly considered at the module level and at the housing level. The housing is made from pultruded panels with a thermoplastic matrix. These panels can be welded and functionalized, forming the load-bearing structure.<\/p>\n For this purpose, a process based on reactive pultrusion<\/a> with a thermoplastic matrix for the production of thin-walled, wide profiles (panels) is further developed at Fraunhofer ICT<\/a>. The panels, based on polyamide 6, are used as housing walls for the traction batteries. The addition of flame retardants increases the safety of the battery housing.<\/p>\n In this way, lightweight and flexibly adaptable battery housings are intended to be created, which can become part of the series production of electric special vehicles.<\/p>\n Specifically, the construction of a fire truck by the company Magirus<\/a> in Ulm is being electrified. GreenIng<\/a> develops the necessary battery technology and electronics for this purpose. CompriseTec<\/a>, the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT), and the Institute of Plastics Engineering<\/a> (IKT) at the University of Stuttgart are jointly working on the development of the modular battery housing made from thermoplastic pultrusion profiles. Selfbits contributes a comprehensive concept for tracking raw materials, panels, assemblies, and the final overall battery system.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tProject Overview<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
