Eurecat, acting as the project’s coordinator, presented Flexcrash at MetalMadrid 2024, part of the Advanced Manufacturing Madrid exhibition, celebrated from 20th – 21st of November in Madrid, Spain.
Alongside Flexcrash, Eurecat showcased four EU-projects – CISMA, COOPHS, SALEMA and ZEvRA – all dedicated to driving sustainability and decarbonization within the steel and aluminium industries.
Eurecat presented detailed information about these initiatives, offering visitors a comprehensive look at its efforts to advance green transformation in manufacturing. The event, celebrating its 16th anniversary, has established itself as a premier platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and innovations that promote sustainability in the metal industry.
Visitors to Eurecat’s booth were introduced to the Flexcrash project’s efforts in promoting the new generation of crash-tolerant vehicle structures. The project focused on developing a flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology to produce tailored adaptive crash-tolerant structures made of green aluminium alloys.
Eurecat’s booth also included information on other projects aligned with the metal industry decarbonization, including the CISMA project, exploring the implications of recycling high-strength and high-formability automotive steels using Electric Arc Furnace technology, or COOPHS, aiming at developing low-CO₂ steel production for the automotive sector.
Additionally, information about SALEMA project, focusing on creating low-critical-raw-materials’ aluminium alloys for diverse manufacturing processes and ZEvRA, developing an approach for manufacturing fully circular vehicles by improving recyclability across key materials.
