From Lab to Exhaust: A Startup’s Breakthrough in CO2 Transformation
Alicja Stankiewicz, CTO, Coat-It Marek Turkiewicz, CEO, Coat-It Pollution kills more people globally each year than war, hunger, or disease. And at the heart of this crisis is carbon dioxide (CO2) – the primary greenhouse gas driving climate change.But what if CO2 could be split and transformed before it ever leaves a tailpipe?
Continue readingBest-in-class Thermal Assessment of Electric Powertrain
Mario Theissl, CEO, Theissl Systems GmbH THEISSL systems enables precise measurement of temperature and torque in electric drive units with its minimally invasive sensor telemetry technology that is tailored specifically to each customer application. These systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing drive components with minimal need for system modifications, allowing for highly accurate measurements…

A Practical Guide to Integrated Motion Control in 2026 and Beyond This whitepaper explains why chassis–powertrain integration is no longer optional, but a strategic imperative for OEMs and Tier 1s. It focuses on concrete use cases – torque vectoring with brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire with active suspension, and centralized vehicle motion control – and discusses the engineering…
Continue readingA Long Journey from the First Hair-pin Stator Line to Continuous Flow Winding
Edoardo Freschi, EV-Traction Sales Director, IMA EV-TECH It was early in 2009 when ATOP started developing the first fully automatic line to produce hair-pin stators. Being a medium-sized company and not having, at that time, the capacity to support such a wide range of solutions, it was necessary to make a choice between the well-known,…
Continue readingSafe and Sustainable-by-Design: Setting New Standards for EV Coolants
Dr. Sander Clerick, Development Chemist, Arteco The automotive industry is rapidly shifting to low- and zero-emission solutions. Electrification, including hybrid, battery, and fuel cell electric vehicles (EVs), is driving innovation in powertrain and thermal management systems. Moving away from internal combustion engines is crucial to reducing greenhouse gases, air pollution, and their impact on the climate. With…
