New HEV and EV designs are being developed from a clean sheet and here in the UK. The materials community has smart materials, tools and techniques that have been developed for over two decades. This conference for the two communities shgould benefit HEV/EV design in the UK through access to this wealth of knowledge availabe from the Materials and Transport KTN's communities.
Within HEV and EVs, there are some radically different expected life spans of components and subsystems. This conference highlights materials and technologies that can facilitate quick and reliable replacement components.
D4D is more than end of life, it covers mid-life technology/sub assembly upgrades. Additionally, it is likely to use materials/technologies that are not so specialised or unique to OEMs that they could be impossible or uneconomic to put back to original condition in a local garage. Therefore, this D4D event includes D4RA (design for re-assembly).
