🔃 Inductive charging station extensively tested in everyday operation at the NFF - Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik Inductive charging is already the norm for mobile phones, smartwatches and toothbrushes and has become part of everyday life. Simply place the device on the carrier plate and the device is easily supplied with power and the batteries are charged. But what about larger, more powerful machines or even a car? 🚘 As part of the LISA4CL research project (Charging, Inductive, Fast, Autonomous for City Logistics), a stationary charging system with an output of 22 kW ⚡ was developed for electric vehicles. The system was installed at the NFF and used by the building management of the Technische Universität Braunschweig in daily operation with a light commercial vehicle. 🚐 The technology enabled the building technicians at TU Braunschweig to provide convenient, wireless charging, which increases safety and facilitates the automation of charging processes. Simply drive onto the plate embedded in the floor and the vehicle charges. The results, experiences and further implementation options were presented and discussed as part of yesterday's project finalisation at the NFF. Two institutes at TU Braunschweig, the elenia Institut für Hochspannungstechnik und Energiesysteme (Bernd Engel) and IMAB,the Institute for Electrical Machines, Drives and Trains (Markus Henke) have carried out extensive tests on inductive charging technology in collaboration with other partners. INTIS Integrated Infrastructure Solutions GmbH designed the charging system and adapted a test vehicle in the light commercial vehicle class accordingly. The overall system was then optimised in close cooperation with the TU Braunschweig for the upcoming field tests, including system function and safety tests to ensure its suitability for practical use. In addition to INTIS GmbH, Fairsenden, the Berlin Agency for Electromobility eMO and VW Commercial Vehicles were also on board as associated partners. The project sponsor Projektträger Jülich (PtJ) supported the project, while NOW GmbH (National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology) assisted with the implementation of the funding guideline. The LISA4CL project received funding totalling 1.6 million euros from the Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr. In her speech, Daniela Kluckert, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs (BMDV), emphasised the importance of the LISA4CL project for the transfer of wireless charging technology to the urban charging infrastructure. Ralf Effenberger from INTIS GmbH then addressed the potential of inductive charging for electromobility and emphasised the importance of standardisation so that the infrastructure can be used by all vehicle models. #nffbraunschweig #tubraunschweig #niedersachsen #braunschweig #induktivesladen #Forschung #Technik #kabellosladen

🌍🚗 An international look at the mobility of tomorrow Last week, Board Spokesman of the NFF - Niedersächsisches Forschungszentrum Fahrzeugtechnik Thomas Vietor had the honor of welcoming Carsten Müller, Member of the German Bundestag, together with New Zealand Ambassador Craig John Hawke for an exchange on the challenges and differences of future mobility in Europe and Oceania. During the visit, central topics of mobility research, particularly in the areas of autonomous driving and connectivity, were discussed intensively. It became clear that the requirements for mobility in Germany and New Zealand vary considerably. One example of this is electromobility: in New Zealand, the long distances pose particular challenges that make it difficult to develop the necessary infrastructure. Alternative drive systems are therefore becoming more of a focus. The participants were also given a tour of the technical facilities of the NFF of Technische Universität Braunschweig, where they gained insights into the research of the Institute for Electrical Machines, Drives and Trains (IMAB) as well as the construction of the autonomous shuttle RAION by the Institute of Automotive Engineering (IfF) and the use of the driving simulator in various scientific projects. The lively exchange highlighted the potential of international cooperation to develop innovative solutions for the mobility of tomorrow. We would like to thank Carsten Müller and John Craig Hawke for their inspiring visit and the stimulating discussions! #nffbraunschweig #tubraunschweig #niedersachsen #braunschweig #MobilityoftheFuture #AutonomousDriving #Innovation #Sustainability #InternationalCollaboration
