It is no secret that electrification is just one solution to potentially helping us meet net-zero emissions by 2050. While there is a lot of focus on advancements to battery technologies - as well as power electronics, motors and drives - we must be able to keep up with the commercialisation levels and produce this technology on a mass scale. This in turn brings challenges around process innovation and not purely product innovation. On average, there are around 10,000 different welds needed to build an electric car as there is building an internal combustion-engine vehicle. Put simply – can welding keep up with the pace of the EV revolution? Or is it going to be the sticking point holding back the mass adoption of electric vehicles?

Join the Advanced Propulsion Centre and TWI – along with experts from Jaguar Land Rover, Ford Motor Company and many more – on the 4th December at TWI’s headquarters in Cambridge for a packed agenda discussing the challenges and opportunities that are being created from the electrification of transport. Is a problem shared a problem halved? Can we share our expertise and challenges and come to an answer together? Or can we not keep up with the rate of change?
