AVL Italia is involved in the MARBEL project, which was initiated in 2020 as part of the Horizon Europe program. The project aims to develop new compact, lightweight, and high-performance battery packs. The project has a total funding of € 9.8 million, will run for 42 months and the consortium is formed by 16 European partners.
Specifically, AVL Italia handles the assembly and disassembly of battery modules and packs. These activities take place in the High Voltage Prototypes Laboratory at the Technical Center in Cavriago. The workflow is defined during the design phase to ensure adequate safety standards for assembly operators and supervisors.
The outcome of this Work Package (WP6) is the detailed definition of work instructions for future production assembly operators. In addition to WP6, AVL Italia also supports the design phase of the project, focusing on safety standards compliance and defining requirements for effective industrialization.
In February 2024, AVL Italia hosted the periodic general assembly meeting at the Technical Center in Cavriago, where partners shared project progress and discussed upcoming steps. Further information about MARBEL: https://marbel-project.eu/
