Whether excavators, trucks or buses – the market for construction machinery and utility vehicles has been on the upswing for a while now. Where does this success come from and what role will electric drives play in the future? We will examine this by exploring the current situation.
Scroll-free turning is one of those machining technologies that is practically impossible to describe in words. In this case pictures really say more than a thousand words. Therefore, you should take a look at this video, which shows an example of scroll-free turning:
In the past year, for the first time ever, more than 2 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide as reported by the Center of Automotive Management (CAM). With 60% of the worldwide demand, China is the main driver of this development.
The transformation in the automotive industry is coming fast, and those affected should prepare now— this was the primary message at the 2019 EMAG Technology Forum. The event provided a lot of food for thought for attendees. Which key messages stood out?

Part 3: Tomorrow’s Mobility—Connected Cars
A guest presentation by Prof. Stefan Bratzel, Center of Automotive Management
Over the next few weeks, this multi-part series will be detailing the contributions of our guest speakers at the EMAG Group’s Technology Forum, to be held on May 15 and 16 in Salach, Germany.
In this blog, we’d like to present the contribution made by Prof. Stefan Bratzel, Director of the Center of Automotive Management (CAM). The CAM is an independent scientific institute for empirical automotive and mobility research, as well as, for strategic advice at the FHDW (university of applied sciences) in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. The institute’s research mainly focuses on questions for the future, such as e-mobility, networked vehicles, mobility services and autonomous driving. In addition, the Center of Automotive Management jointly awards the yearly AutomotiveINNOVATIONS Award together with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and thus rewards the year’s most innovative car manufacturer and supplier. The AutomotiveINNOVATIONS study identifies the future trends of automotive groups based on the CAM database of technical innovations in the automotive field.

Part 4: Low-Emission Zones and Diesel Bans—Opportunities for an E-Mobile Future?
A guest presentation given by Prof. Matthias Klingner, Head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems
Over the next few weeks, this multi-part series will be going into detail about the contributions of our guest speakers at the EMAG Group’s Technology Forum, to be held on May 15 and 16 in Salach, Germany.
In this blog, we’d like to present information about the contribution to be made by Prof. Matthias Klingner, Head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems (IVI). The Fraunhofer IVI in Dresden, Germany, conducts research in the fields of vehicle and drive technology, as well as intelligent transport systems all the way to the areas of materials planning and logistics. The institute has also contributed to the development of the German mobile ticketing system, HandyTicket Deutschland, and has shown how e-mobility can be implemented in a meaningful way in public transportation with AutoTram® Extra Grand and the quick-charging electric bus.
One aspect that is often left out of the discussions about e-mobility is the corresponding transformation in car production: Planners must establish new solutions that enable efficient and holistic manufacturing of “e-components” in significantly higher unit volumes. EMAG Systems is prepared for this!

Part 2: From Networked Production to Mobility Services – The Digital Transformation of the Automotive Industry
A presentation by Markus Turber, Managing Director of Intuity Media Lab GmbH
Over the next few weeks, this multi-part series will be exploring the exciting contributions of our guest speakers at the EMAG Group’s Technology Forum, to be held on May 15 and 16 in Salach, Germany.
In this second part, we’d like to highlight our interview with Markus Turber, Managing Director of Intuity Media Lab.
The digital and electric transformation is coming to the automotive industry—and it’s coming fast. How should manufacturing companies prepare for this? And which production solutions are most geared towards the future? Renowned experts will provide answers to these questions, and more, at the 2019 EMAG Technology Forum to be held on May 15 and 16 in Salach, Germany. Participants can expect an innovative event format that allows plenty of time for practical application examples.
