CTAG participates for the first time in the FISITA World Congress


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

Our first destination will be, once again, the city of Barcelona, where we will participate in the 39th FISITA World Congress from 12-15 September, the best opportunity to meet with the international community of mobility engineers.

As a technology centre focused on development, research and technological innovation in the automotive sector, which has had a strategic line of Electronics and Intelligent Mobility since 2005, we will be presenting CTAG’s advances in systems for autonomous and connected vehicles, HMI and UX, interior comfort, hardware and software development and the validation of electronic systems at stand number 154.

We will also showcase the competences of each of our laboratories, starting with our latest incorporation: the Electromobility Lab, CTAG’s commitment to promote research and development around new and more sustainable propulsion systems.

And visitors can also ask about our Passive Safety division, where our expert team in simulation and testing of restraint systems works on side, front and rear catapult crash tests, specific benches and many more.

Additional information about the event can be found on the FISITA World Congress website.

CTAG doesn’t rest: getting ready for the autumn events


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

At CTAG we are making the most of these summer months to be able to show you all our latest news after the break.

Our team is using this holiday period to organise their attendance at different trade fairs and congresses where we will showcase the technological advances and latest research of the centre in the mobility sector.

The first event where we will be present will be the FISITA World Congress in Barcelona, between 12 and 15 September, one of the best opportunities to establish connections with the global community of mobility engineers.

One month later, we will travel to Bonn, Germany, to participate in the International VDI Congress “ELIV”, which will be held on October 18 and 19. This is the meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers, universities and researchers specialised in electronics in the automotive sector.

We will return to Barcelona from November 7 to 9 to present our innovations in the development of new Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) during the Smart City Expo World Congress, the largest and most influential international event on urban mobility.

And finally, we will end the year in Stuttgart, Germany, participating in the Automotive Interiors Expo Europe on 5, 6 and 7 December, where we will show our progress in the research of new materials for vehicle interiors.

Throughout these four months, we will also join multiple specialised conferences and symposiums to share knowledge and experiences with other leading players in the field of mobility. These will be unique opportunities to network and keep up to date with industry trends, such as the “Robotics4EU Project Workshops” on 3 and 4 October in Delft, the Netherlands.

The FACENDO 4.0 project holds its closing ceremony


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

The Facendo 4.0 project (Factory Competitiveness and Electromobility through iNnovation and Digital transformation 4.0), led by Stellantis Vigo and with the participation of CTAG, Gradiant, AIMEN and the UniversIdade de Vigo has culminated its development after 31 months of implementation, with a closing ceremony at the headquarters of Stellantis in Vigo.

The event was attended by Patricia Argerey, Director of the Axencia Galega de Innovación (GAIN), and leaders of all the organisations involved.

Facendo 4.0 is an R&D project initiated in 2020, focused on industrial research and experimental development to increase competitiveness and strengthen the expertise of the business network of the automotive sector in Galicia.

During this project, 157 actions have been executed or implemented in the technological areas of the Factory of the Future, Vehicle of the Future, and Connectivity and Information Technologies.

800,000 hours of research and advanced engineering have been dedicated to the innovations developed, giving rise, up to now, to 10 registered patents.

The partners of Facendo 4.0 have invested 22.3 million euros, with a public aid of 12.2 million euros from the Department of Economy, Industry and Innovation of the Xunta de Galicia, through the Axencia Galega de Innovación (GAIN), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
