11 Luglio 2024 - 12:00PM
Turin, Italy, and Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg,
11th July 2024. Iveco Group N.V. (EXM: IVG) announces a new
research and development partnership with the Luxembourg Institute
of Science and Technology (LIST), a research and technology
organisation under the auspices of the Luxembourg Ministry of
Higher Education and Research. The collaboration will be performed
through LIST’s Sustainable Composite Materials and Manufacturing
Innovation Centre (SCMM-IC), an initiative co-funded by the
Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy and the European Regional
Development Fund (FEDER). It will concern sustainable and
lightweight composite materials for transport applications.
SCMM-IC focuses its activities on these
materials as key enablers towards net zero-emission mobility. As
such, they carry out application-driven research, development and
innovation activities in close collaboration with large OEMs in the
automotive, rail, aeronautics and space sectors. Through the
agreement, Iveco Group and SCMM-IC will jointly define and develop
material technologies meeting the needs of the future generations
of Iveco Group’s vehicles.
The collaboration between Iveco Group and LIST
will span over the next four years. While the initial activities
related to sustainable and lightweight composite technologies will
involve IVECO BUS, the urban, intercity and tourist bus brand of
Iveco Group, the partnership is intended to encompass all brands
within the Group.
Composite materials offer a multitude of key
benefits to the transport sector. One of the primary advantages is
weight reduction, enabling enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced
emissions. Additionally, the technology developments will consider
maintenance and repairability aspects, enabling cost savings and
prolonged service life compared to metallic components. Integrating
composite materials into vehicle design will allow Iveco Group
brands to improve their performance and efficiency, whilst lowering
their TCO in order to offer customers ever more sustainable and
cost-effective solutions.
