Electromobility
In order to meet climate targets and the EU's plans to stop the sale of fossil fuel vehicles by 2035, the electrification of the transport sector must accelerate significantly. Vehicle manufacturers are tasked with making batteries cheaper, lighter and more energy-dense, while also developing more efficient electric motors and safer charging solutions. Reliable testing is required to verify the performance, service life and safety of new technologies before they can be safely introduced to the market. For electrification to really take off, charging infrastructure for passenger cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles must be developed in parallel. The entire value chain must also develop standards, business models and regulations for future solutions, such as vehicle-to-grid technology.
RISE accelerates your development with world-class expertise and technical infrastructures. We test everything from battery cells and electric motors to complete vehicles and powertrains. Through safety-critical testing, we verify performance over time and develop new knowledge about energy management and charging solutions. For charging infrastructure, we certify stations according to international standards and carry out field inspections. We conduct research into future solutions such as V2G, charging an
