Our Mission

The ultimate target of e-TRUCKS is the development of ultra-light,high-quality leaf springs that fulfil suspension requirements and withstand exceptionally high operational loads of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).This target can be reached by the deployment of new high-strength steel grades with pronounced resistance to residual stress relaxation during operation in conjunction with advanced stress-shot-peening processes.The project focuses on the areas of new advanced steel grades,improvement of steel properties,prolonging service life,simulation models on microstructures,properties and processes,and applications for lightweight design of BEVs.
