In the future, Schaeffler will supply beam axles to automobile manufacturers, particularly in North America. Heat is a scarce and valuable resource in electric cars, which do not have the waste heat from internal combustion engines for heating the interior, for example. Axles like these are more than two meters wide.

Audi has opened its e-gas plant in Werlte, making it the first automobile manufacturer to develop a chain of sustainable energy carriers. The waste heat given off during methanation is used as process energy in the adjacent biogas plant, significantly increasing overall efficiency. Audi’s e-gas plant. Click to enlarge.

Yes, They Are Greener But… On the surface, EVs are more ecological than gasoline cars because 70-80% of the pollution caused by automobiles comes from their tailpipe and EVs don’t have tailpipe emissions. Nonetheless, electric cars produce greater carbon emissions at the end of the production process.

Tackling road transport energy use is vital to enhancing energy security and reducing carbon dioxide emissions globally. Some technologies need additional research to become commercially viable, including waste heat recovery devices, electromechanical valve actuation, low-friction lubricants and some lightweight materials.

With its new architecture, use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and premium mobility service offerings, the “ i3 marks the beginning of a new mobility age ,” said Dr. Reithofer. EVs in general currently have a larger carbon burden in the production phase than conventional vehicles (e.g., kWh per kilometer (0.21
