Integrated manufacturing of REciclable hybrid metalthermoplastic COmposites for the TRANSport sector.

Project description

Driving sustainable manufacturing for the transport sector

Industries worldwide require innovative technologies to facilitate their transition towards ecologically safe, sustainable and efficient manufacturing processes. One promising sector for implementing these new advancements is the European transport industry, which necessitates modernisation. With the goal of meeting this demand, the EU-funded RECOTRANS project aims to develop a manufacturing system capable of producing multi-material metal composite products. Such products would prove valuable in various aspects of the transport industry, including truck, automotive and railway manufacturing processes. The project’s strategy involves integrating cutting-edge technologies that enable the production of high-quality lightweight materials at high speeds, while simultaneously reducing costs and enhancing sustainability.

Objective

RECOTRANS project will create new manufacturing system for obtaining multi-material metal composites products suitable for the transport industry; automotive, truck and railway sector. The aim of this project is to integrate unconventional manufacturing technologies such as (microwave) MW radiation and laser joining in current RTM and pultrusion production lines. This integration will contribute to obtain high quality lightweight multi-materials at high production rates; reducing production cost, energy consumption and time to market contributing to reduce CO2 emissions coming from vehicles; truck, automotive and railway
