In Turin, FPT Industrial (IVECO Group) inaugurated the new ePowertrain plant where electric axles, integrated central motors (Central Drive) and battery packs for light commercial vehicles, minibuses and buses will be produced. The most important thing; interesting, for & ograve ;, & egrave; that this factory & egrave; the first totally & quot; carbon neutral & quot; of the IVECO Group . In fact, according to what & egrave; been told, & egrave; able to achieve this goal by offsetting CO2 emissions with the purchase of energy from renewable sources and carbon credits.

In addition to this, the plant generates energy thanks to solar panels applied to the façade and to innovative technologies such as the & ldquo; mini Wind Tower & rdquo; and the “Smartflower”. Furthermore, within this production site we find the Iveco Group Sustainability Garden, an internal area of ​​6,000 square meters planted with 100 plants of indigenous species resistant to drought; with a & rsquo; excellent capacity & agrave; of CO2 absorption.

In addition, & egrave; a walkable path with recycled pallets was also created. L & rsquo; inauguration & egrave; was a new important step in the decarbonisation process of the IVECO Group and in its strategy aimed at achieving net zero CO2 emissions for its products and for all its activities; industrial.

TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY?

The new ePowertrain plant occupies a total area of ​​15,000 square meters and has three parallel production lines dedicated respectively to the assembly of battery packs and the production of Central Drive and electric axles for heavy commercial vehicles.

One time that will go; when fully operational, it will be able to produce pi & ugrave; of 20,000 electric axles and 20,000 battery packs . Such a factory will carry; advantages also to the local economy as it will give I work about 200 people. Inside the production site, all the most important ones will be used. recent and advanced technologies. For example, all production processes are based on highly automated warehouses for the management of components.

Furthermore, the latest generation technologies adopted also include the reality; augmented and virtual , which reduces the design time of production lines by simulating the operating result before physical installation, 3D printing and systems & ldquo; Smart Observer & rdquo; based on intelligent sensors, 3D scanners for quality measurements metrology, reality simulators; 3D and collaborative robots.

Quality controls in the cloud allow you to identify problems immediately, while those at the end of the line certify compliance; of the product in terms of configuration, performance and security. On the line of electric axles for heavy commercial vehicles, a light signal station supports the operator by clearly indicating which component must be selected and where to mount it, thus contributing; to achieve the goal of zeroing errors. On the battery assembly line, the dielectric mats protect operators from possible electrical dispersions, while the thermal cameras automatically measure the temperature of the batteries, immediately reporting any deviation from the norm.
