This involves complex connections in the vehicles themselves or in the new energy stores (the lithium-ion batteries), as well as connecting cables for charging electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Some applications are already operational. Automotive supplier<br \/>\nContinental, for example, is already using special system connections from Lapp for serial production of the hybrid store for the new Mercedes-Benz S 400 BlueHYBRID. These cable and connection systems are used inside the lithium-ion batteries and are already in routine use in hybrid vehicles. Cable harnesses for high-voltage cabling in hybrid vehicles have also already been supplied to the American market, but development centres of the Stuttgart-based Lapp Group are still working intensively on continuous improvement of products.<\/p>\n<p>Werner Becker says: &#8220;Storing electrical energy is the key technical challenge for electric vehicles of the future. The most important factors are minimum weight for maximum capacity &#8211; these in turn are key for the range achievable by vehicles in the future.&#8221; Lapp is exchanging information on this with well-known companies which are currently developing new battery systems.<br \/>\nLapp Systems are also supporting a company which is developing<br \/>\n&#8220;electricity pumps&#8221; for electric cars.<\/p>\n<p>As far as connecting cables for charging electric vehicles are concerned, Lapp is collaborating on a standards committee of well-known automotive manufacturers. Lapp Systems has already developed initial prototype cables and is working on the certification (TS 16949) required for them.<\/p>\n<p>Werner Becker says: &#8220;As system suppliers in e-mobility, we want to provide high-quality connections. E-mobility is an important issue for the future, something in which we can fully involve the competence across the whole of the Lapp Group.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuttgart Lapp Group developing connection technology for electric and hybrid drives Lapp Gets Involved in e-mobility The Stuttgart-based Lapp Group is increasing its involvement in emobility. &#8220;Our aim is to provide international automotive manufacturers with the perfect cable technology for the new generation of vehicles with electric or hybrid drives&#8221;, explains Werner Becker, Managing Director [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-462629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=462629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/462629\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=462629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=462629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=462629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
