The ALMA project (Advanced Light Materials and Processes for the Eco-Design of Electric Vehicles), led by CTAG, comes to an end.


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

The ALMA project, led by CTAG, presents its results on the occasion of its successful conclusion. This project marks a significant breakthrough for the road transport sector with the development of a lightweight, efficient and sustainable structure for battery electric vehicles (BEV).

ALMA’s innovative approach, based on eco-design and the use of advanced materials, has resulted in a BEV body-in-white (BiW) that is 22% lighter than the baseline design, a 24% carbon emission reduction throughout the vehicle’s service life and a 9% emission reduction for the entire car. This achievement is fundamental to meeting the ambitious objectives of the European Union’s Green Deal in the transition to greener and more sustainable mobility.

CTAG, as project coordinator, has played a crucial role in the development and validation of the multi-material structure of ALMA’s Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). In collaboration with partners such as Ford and ArcelorMittal, CTAG has applied a holistic circular engineering approach to ensure efficiency and sustainability at all stages of the process, from design to the end-of-life of the vehicle.

In addition, CTAG has contributed to the project by validating efficient manufacturing processes and integrating innovative materials, such as advanced SMC composites, to achieve further weight reduction and material efficiency.

Raquel Ledo, head of the Materials Innovation area at CTAG, answers about CTAG’s role during the project in a recorded interview.

The ALMA project, funded by the EU under Horizon 2020, involves a diverse group of 9 partners from 4 different EU countries. The consortium includes market-orientated companies, research organisations and an international association.

CTAG presents a new pioneering equipment for advanced research on comfort with people on board


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

CTAG has implemented a new state-of-the-art equipment for advanced research on comfort. It is a Human Rated Dual vibration system, a multiaxial equipment for the evaluation of acoustic and vibration comfort, designed for tests both with and without people on board.

Given the strongly subjective nature of vibration and acoustic comfort, these tools are essential in the process of research and development of new solutions to improve users’ perception of comfort. This installation makes it possible to evaluate such sensations in a controlled and repeatable environment, for example in rolling conditions, for mobility applications in a broad sense.

It has two main applications:

  1. Multiaxial mechanical characterization and durability tests. Its purpose is to test the vibration behaviour of a vehicle system and its ability to withstand the demanding vibration environment to which it will be subjected throughout the life of the vehicle.
  2. Evaluation and measurement with people in the vehicle of the vibration comfort and squeak & rattle in different interior components. This evaluation can be carried out both through subjective questionnaires and through the measurement of physical and physiological parameters, such as muscular activity, always under safe conditions for the vehicle occupants participating in the test.

Thanks to this new highly versatile equipment, CTAG seeks to respond to new technical challenges in the mobility sector through both collaborative and in-house R&D projects.
