Whether for lightweight structures or the latest developments in battery coatings (p44), the new generation of phase change materials (p34) or immersive cooling systems (p58) used for cooling the platform and boosting the thermal management. These are allowing for smaller battery packs with reliable and safe fast-charging in a matter of minutes in a fundamental shift in platform design. We talk with Tony Persson, head of battery production at Scania, about the latest technology insights on commercial vehicles (p16), as well as the inspection technologies (p66) that are needed to ensure reliability in e-mobility systems. In the meantime, axial flux motors and in-fan motors are driving innovation on the ground and in the air, as discussed in Grid (p6). When these are coupled with faster charging and smaller, lighter systems, the industry is shifting into top gear on innovation.
