International Electric Steel Sheet Summit: E-Mobility in Focus

Electrical Steel Sheets - Shape tomorrow today
 

The International Steel Sheet Summit took place once again at the TEMA Pyramid in Aachen, Germany, on 24-25 April 2024. The first edition of IESSS occurred in 2022, since then new technology and progress has been made with Electromobility, where electrical steel sheets are the central product. Highly powerful electric drives must now be further developed. Moreover, climate change is having an even greater impact on the global community and further reduction of CO2 emissions is essential. IESSS brought all partners of this specific value chain together to exchange experiences and to improve the power and efficiency of e-drives. This was an elementary condition to increase customers’ acceptance and awareness of this technology.

IESSS fosters collaboration among stakeholders for research exchange, aiming to enhance electric vehicle performance and increase customer acceptance through standardization.
