"Glass Battery"

The “Glass Battery” is a joint project of Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH & Co KG, Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH, Kreisel Electric, Green Testing Lab GmbH and Technische Universität Graz, Institute of Process and Particle Engineering.

The battery is specifically exposed to extreme temperature conditions. Through the expertise of the partnerns the fault conditions can be provoked and observed in such a way that this results in a general increase in operational safety.

"Crush Test" Simulation - Showcar

Where batteries for electric vehicles are usually tested, this time a showcar is on the test rig.

This allows us to show the process of a crush test situation where 30 tons act on the test object.

Nano Report - Extinguishing system for battery fires

Even if the use of electric vehicles is fundamentally safe, unforeseen events can lead to a fire. Cooling the battery is then very important so that the chain reaction is interrupted, and the fire does not spread further.

With a new extinguishing system, it is possible to extinguish the fire directly where it starts. This is mainly used in test facilities and is also used by firefighters to extinguish fires.
