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 OEM’s 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).
The presentations from the event are available for members of the Materials KTN to download.
