Unveiling the innovation potential of circular approaches
Project Unicorn
Visit the expo to explore the Unicorn project, an EU-funded research initiative supporting the automotive electronics industry in its transition toward a greener and more circular future. Focused on investigating circular innovations in materials, processes and design, Unicorn aims to enhance the circularity-driven integration of electronics in automotive applications. It provides methodologies, guidelines and recommendations for the entire community, addressing broader sectors.
The project features five cutting-edge use cases. The first is a lightweight, thermoplastic battery casing with integrated thermal and stress management to maximize battery performance, safety and reusability.
The second use case is bio-based, eco-friendly automotive dashboards to enhance sustainability and functionality through innovative in-mold electronics (IME) solutions.
The third use case is an IMSE-enabled car door panel, interconnected with a mat of sensors in the seat to improve safety while exploring dismantling options to enhance recyclability.
The fourth use case is a sustainable RFID and sensor platform integrated into the tire and designed to reduce environmental impact during use and extend the product lifetime.
Finally, the fifth use case is the impact of Mobility as a Service on automotive electronics, leveraging synergies between technological advances and business models to accelerate the adoption of circularity approaches in automotive electronics.
Visit the booth to discover how Unicorn is setting new standards for the future of automotive electronics.
