We present #MODALT, a project co-founded by the European Union and the “Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad e Innovación IVACE i (Generalitat Valenciana) ”. The project aims to model, design, and prototype a high-performance energy storage module, adequate to build battery packs for high-power and high-energy electric mobility applications.    Initiatives like the European Union's Sustainable Mobility Strategy identified the need to reduce emissions generated by transport by up to 90% and the dependence on fossil fuels by 2050. These considerations lead to the need to find efficient, safe, decarbonized, and environmentally friendly transport alternatives. In this context, electric mobility emerges. Advances in electric mobility are revolutionizing urban and short-distance transportation. 🔋🌍🌿   What are the challenges? There is a clear need to meet the high-performance requirements of long-distance heavy transport, whether it be heavy road transport (such as trucks or buses), electric aviation, maritime transport, or new electric rail or guided means (such as Maglev or Hyperloop). For that, one of the remaining challenges lies in the development of high-performance energy storage technologies. 🚚✈️🚢🚆   Here is where our project comes in. In collaboration with Zeleros, Aimplas, and Ziur Composite Solutions, the design of a high-performance battery module is addressed, combining the expertise of all the partners in different aspects of the process. From innovative composite-based casing design to state-of-the-art lithium-ion cell technology, through thermal management solutions to improve performance and safety.    What is our contribution? CMT oversees testing and characterizing the lithium-ion cells to be used in the new model design, in terms of performance during normal operating, aging, and safety under different abuse scenarios. This information is used to develop virtual models that assist the design process and validate the different solutions proposed by the partners.    #Decarbonization #CMT #CleanMobility #Innovation #BatteryInnovation #EUProjects #SmartCities
