ATLAS OF E-MOBILITY COMPETENCE IN SAXONY ATLAS OF E-MOBILITY COMPETENCE IN SAXONY Words of Welcome Words of Welcome E-mobility is one of the most important fields of the future when it comes to “transportation.” The biggest challenge is to intelligently integrate and link the existing infrastructures and technologies, to develop innovative ideas and concepts, and to transfer them into practical applications. Virtually the entire e-mobility value creation chain is present in Saxony from the technology companies of the electrochemical, power electronics, and software development industries to premium manufacturers of the automobile sector and an innovative supply network, all the way to globally active energy suppliers. The commitment of Saxon enterprises, research institutions, and public administrations for emobility continues to be unbroken. And more and more people are interested in e-mobility – whether it be in companies, in research, or private consumers. That’s why the Atlas of EMobility Competence in Saxony is even more comprehensive in its third edition than ever before. E-mobility presents itself as a pioneering technology of the future with considerable ecological advantages when compared to mobility with combustion engines. Currently, the transportation sector is almost completely dependent on primarily imported fossil fuels. In the foreseeable future, though, these resources will dwindle and limited mobility as well as price increases appear to be unavoidable. E-mobility with electric power harnessed from renewable energy is a key element when it comes to meeting the special requirements of climate and resource friendly mobility. With its superb integration of the economy, research, government, education, and the public at large, Saxony can make a valuable contribution to firmly establishing e-mobility already today. Daring something new and transferring innovations into new products and services, that’s what Saxons are famous for. The manufacturing industry, and here above all the traditionally vibrant Saxon automobile industry, is the primary generator for positive economic development. A dynamic research environment, an efficient economy and transportation infrastructure as well as excellent general and continued education and training opportunities are all superb prerequisites in the Free State for bright minds and creative ideas – also for the key issue of tomorrow, e-mobility. The Atlas of E-Mobility Competence in Saxony provides an overview of the network that already exists between companies and competences in e-mobility. Be inspired, and maybe you, too, will soon play an active role in the network. Martin Dulig Saxon State Minister of Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport The Sächsische Energieagentur – SAENA GmbH corporation has committed itself to protecting existing resources in order to warrant the subsistence of subsequent generations. Considerable potential and previously unused opportunities exist particularly in the transportation sector. As the Free State of Saxony’s competence center for e-mobility and intelligent transportation systems, SAENA is your first contact when it comes to pioneering mobility. The Atlas of E-Mobility Competence in Saxony is the result of many years of network activities linking the most important Saxon competences in the e-mobility sector. It showcases both experienced stakeholders as well as young enterprises who will assure Saxony’s future in this promising field. We hope to be able to welcome you soon in our network.

The combination of powerful electric drives, modern battery technology, and highly efficient combustion engines permits the creation of a trendsetting concept for state-of-the-art high performance vehicles as is aptly demonstrated by the plug-in hybrid super sports car 918 Spyder which is produced in Zuffenhausen. At Porsche, e-mobility has a long tradition: After more than 110 years, Porsche’s ultramodern hybrid strategy harks back to the company founder’s very own pioneering performance. Back in 1900, Ferdinand Porsche had actually invented the hybrid principle and was the first person to put it into practice.

The functional principle is based on the scientific principle that massive high temperature superconductors are able to hover stably above a magnetic track by themselves and that this track can be curved in any direction or arranged in any direction. This principle is suitable for both upright levitation along a track and for horizontal or vertical levitation on a wall, for hanging levitation below a ceiling structure, and for any combination of these variations. The transport system is environmentally friendly, completely silent, without any harmful emissions, low in energy consump- tion, and resistant to water and ice as well as dust and sand on the track. The vehicle is driven by an electric linear motor which generates the necessary thrust without any contact. The energy required for acceleration is fed from the track to the vehicle without any direct contact. Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e. V.

The scientific focus is on the development of production technologies for semi-finished metallic construction materials (sheet, strip, wire) as well as on solid forming processes. The researchers investigate both conventional and new, energy efficient processes which combine casting and forming, and they optimize these technologies with regard to the development of characteristic properties during the production process. In addition to such conventional materials as, for example, steel, copper, or aluminum and titanium alloys, the production of lightweight sheet and strip materials from magnesium alloys is a key research focus of the institute. With the development of an innovative casting-rolling method for the economically viable production of magnesium strip and sheet ma- terials, which was the first such process to be implemented in the world at an industrial scale together with the ThyssenKrupp MgF corporation, the institute has gained extensive expertise in the production and processing of lightweight magnesium materials which is unique throughout Europe. Another research area which is crucial for emobility is the production of electrical steel sheets with optimized magnetic properties for highly efficient electric drives. State-of-the-art test facilities, forming simulation systems as well as pilot rolling lines are available for research at the Institute of Metal Forming. From the development of new materials and technologies to the design and engineering of industrial production processes and production tools, the institute provides a wide range of services for industrial partners in the emobility sector.

The findings gained from these projects are a key element when it comes to establishing emobility in Leipzig. The Leipzig City Administration sets a good example as well. With ten electric cars, it has one of the largest municipal e-vehicle fleets in all of Saxony. And just recently, a brand new BMW i3 made in Leipzig was added to the existing car pool. Address Am Lagerplatz 8 The innovative network “E-Mobility” was founded under the roof of the Leipzig clusters. It promotes numerous campaigns revolving around e-mobility such as, for example, the “Lipsia-e-motion” e-mobility rally or the “ePendler – elektromobil unterwegs” e-mobility campaign for commuters. 01099 Dresden Germany employees 188 member companies 23,000 contact person(s) HEIDI STRÖLLER, Project Coordinator E-Mobility phone +49 351 4640-504 email [email protected] Website www.hwk-dresden.de The Dresden Chamber of Trades and Crafts (HWK Dresden) is a statutory body under public law. It represents the interests of skilled crafts in the directorate region of Dresden. The HWK Dresden has 23,000 member companies with a total of 135,000 employees and 5,200 apprentices. The Chamber operates three training centers in Dresden, Pirna, and Großenhain where various skilled craft disciplines are taught. When it comes to e-mobility, we seek to strengthen the crafts sector as a professional contact point for users of alternative drive and propulsion systems. Towards this end and in cooperation with its partners, the Dresden Chamber of Trades and Crafts has developed an interdisciplinary continued education program across technologies which qualifies interested parties as an “Advisor for Electromobility.” Competent contact partners from the motor vehicle and electrical trades are trained and educated in 10 modules so that they can work for those companies and municipalities which consider integrating e-vehicles into their vehicle pool. But electrically driven vehicles are also relevant to the work of bike mechanics and agricultural machinery technicians. In addition to the continued education program as an “Advisor for Electromobility (HWK),” the Dresden Chamber of Trades and Crafts regularly organizes informative events pertaining to diverse e-mobility sectors. In these awareness raising workshops, current trends are portrayed and networks created in a practice oriented manner. Consultation on the topics energy efficiency and environmental protection as well as an energy efficiency center for buildings round off the HWK’s portfolio.

The activities are coordinated by the Energy & Environment Network of the City of Leipzig. It fosters the transfer of knowledge and technology across diverse branches through strategic contact and project management, and it taps the potentials for innovation. DANIEL REIßMANN, Managing Director phone +49 341 121-3317 email [email protected] Website www.energiemetropole-leipzig.de Cluster members from the e-mobility sector use the e-mobility cluster team as a communication and cooperation forum to discuss and promote new developments in the area of environmentally friendly mobility. The “Showcase Regions for Electric Mobility” program provides concrete opportunities for shaping the e-mobility profiles of the participating regions. Together with Bavaria, Saxony is one of Germany’s four Showcase Regions through which several projects have also been implemented in the Leipzig region with the participation of representatives from the Energy & Environment cluster. E-mobility also plays a vital role in the educational programs which NEU e.V. develops together with other partners within the Network “Education for Sustainable Development.” In a number of educational modules, background knowledge, pioneering spirit as well as concrete recommendations for action are imparted with the objective of encouraging people to pursue a sustainable lifestyle.
