E-TECH EUROPE 2024 will host an event on 8 May 2024, organised by the EU-funded SALEMA project in collaboration with Metef, the organisation behind the METEF international trade fair for the aluminum supply chain. The event ‘Electric Mobility and the Aluminium supply chain: results of the European SALEMA project‘ is dedicated to electric mobility and the aluminium supply chain. It will feature several SALEMA partners as they present and discuss the results of the project, which concludes on 30 April 2024.
- DATE: 8 May 2024
- TIME: 10:00–12:00 CEST
- PLACE: BolognaFiere, George Simon Ohm Hall, C1 Floor 1
Why this event?
The automotive industry faces multiple challenges in achieving the goals of the European Green Deal. New, high-performance but lightweight materials are needed. Dependence on imported critical raw materials must be reduced, while creating a sustainable economy for the future. SALEMA partners see the solution in the lightweight, inexpensive and fully recyclable metal, aluminium.
SALEMA designed new aluminium alloys with a minimum content of critical raw materials (silicon and magnesium) or by integrating scrap metal recycling. The integration of scrap metal recycling is crucial to creating a sustainable circular economy and will be a reliable source of high-quality alloys in the future. As the project ends, this event is an opportunity to reflect on SALEMA’s achievements and their benefits.
In this event, SALEMA partners will present the designed and produced alloys and the innovative components that have been manufactured to the large international audience at E-TECH Europe 2024.
