Members introduce themselves
In the "Members introduce themselves" section, companies and research institutes from the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West provide an insight into their activities: they talk about their current activities, look into the future and show how they are advancing cooperation in the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West. Focus on: BRIGHT Testing GmbH. The company provides an insight into current projects and future plans, and shows how it is helping to shape the mobility of tomorrow. In a brief interview, Sebastian Dressel, General Manager Partnerships & Projects provides insight into preconceptions, progress and prospects of electric mobility.
As a development partner for our customers in the mobility sector, we support product development by providing qualified data in the form of specially developed test and measurement technology, in the areas of powertrain, energy management, chassis, steering and networking. High-voltage technology is another key area. In the field of electromobility, components with high-voltage compatible properties are particularly in demand. We supply all the components and services necessary for the development and validation of a product.
Sustainability also plays an important role in electromobility. Our participation in the REASSERT project reflects our commitment to this. In the project partners such as Schaeffler, Fraunhofer IPA, iFAKT, Riebesam and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are collaborating to develop methods for preparing electric motors for reuse in vehicles and thus promoting the circular economy.
We focus on powertrain technologies, electronics, on-board and vehicle networking, hydrogen, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the mobility sector. A current challenge is the adaption of test procedures to the current state of the art and the development of test solutions for e-drives, batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis and vehicle networking. Another challenge is the increase in saftey requirements for electrical components in vehicles. We face the challenges of electric mobility and develop innovative solutions.
Great innovation comes from a strong network. That is why BRIGHT works closely with partner companies and research institutes - supported by a dedicated, motivated team.
One outstanding example is the BMWK-funded REASSERT project, in which BRIGHT is working with Schaeffler, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Riebesam and iFAKT on solutions for the repair, reuse and remanufacturing of electric motors under the project management of the Fraunhofer IPA. Our role in the project: the development and design of modern testing technologies for the input and output evaluation of electric motors. This will create the basis for sustainable processes that will enable the reuse of engine components and support their integration into the circular economy. We develop practical, resource-efficient and economically viable solutions, especially for workshops that remanufacture electric motors for the aftermarket.
Together with our partners, we are driving forward the transformation of mobility to create sustainable and future-oriented value.
