Enabling Technology Award
CompositeEdge GmbH and ATA Mute BV were honored with the Enabling Technology prize for developing an ultra‑thin sound‑deadening material less than a millimeter thick. The material achieves up to 97 percent acoustic absorption, particularly targeting low‑frequency sounds that engineers aim to keep out of vehicle cabins. This innovation promises lighter acoustic solutions without compromising noise reduction.
Module Lightweighting Award
Geely and Syensqo’s collaborative effort earned the Module Lightweighting award for their Model PPA stator‑cooling system. By substituting plastic for metal components, the system reduces cost by 36 percent and mass by 47 percent compared with traditional metal designs, offering a more efficient and lighter cooling solution for electric motor stators.
Sustainable Process Award
Marelli was recognized for its Sustainable Process award thanks to a three‑part chemical agent that separates adhesive waste from cleaning water in manufacturing. The process enables recovery and reuse of 85 percent of the cleaning water, dramatically cutting water consumption and improving environmental performance in assembly lines where adhesives are prevalent.
Sustainable Product Award
Nio and AkzoNobel secured the Sustainable Product award for a new coating applied to the bottom plate of battery packs. The coating extends the service life to 15 years, is 90 percent thinner than its predecessor, and eliminates volatile organic compound emissions. The weight savings amount to roughly 4.9 lb (2.2 kg) per pack, supporting Nio’s swappable‑battery strategy while enhancing recyclability.
