What we do - and why!
Mobility connects people. People shape mobility. With over 6,600 employees around the globe, we develop revolutionary and efficient drive systems, we cross-link vehicles with each other and their surroundings, and we strive to make our lives safer using intelligent systems. We need the right people at the right place to do so. People who turn visions into reality – who think outside the box and promote innovation. People who are ready to push the envelope. Are you ready?
Tasks
With the development and growth of the electric vehicle market, the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries is becoming an important research topic. While demand for battery raw materials is already surging, batteries produced today will be in operation for years before they will need to be recycled. An exact understanding of battery recycling supply and demand on a global level can help cell manufacturers, automotive OEMs and recyclers to time their investments better.
The objective of this thesis is to build a global battery recycling supply and demand model. FEV’s powertrain forecasts, cell chemistry forecasts and industry know-how can all be used as input.
