FENICE aims at fire resistant, zero scrap and recyclable composites for weight reduction of a critical component for electrical cars, the battery box. The automated lines for mass production are being implemented in these years, aiming at massive electrification.
The choice of a good and sustainable (cheap and environmentally friendly) material solution for the battery box has to be taken in parallel to these technology transition. Project FENICE was funded with 2.53Meur by KIC Raw Materials, with activities aiming at TRL 7. The project will bring this solution on the verge of being mass produced and assess all environmental benefits of the new solution, and in particular lower embodied energy and lower C - emissions. FENICE project will demonstrate the technical feasibility of this concept on real automotive components and compliance with automotive industry expectations and production facilities.
