Situation
Now that car manufacturers have decided to produce and launch millions of electric vehicles on the market within the next three years, it is only logical that they have also decided to build corresponding gigafactories for battery production in Europe. In electric vehicles, the battery is the most important component of value creation. Asian manufacturers are pushing into the European market. We do not want to leave the field to them.
The challenge
Germany in particular has all the expertise needed to set up gigafactories and produce high-quality batteries. On the one hand, there is the world’s leading battery machine manufacturer for the construction of large-scale production and manufacturers for battery components, electrodes and cell production as well as module and pack production. Battery development and production will also play a key role in the storage of renewable energy. Without this storage, it will not be possible in the future.
Action
Electromobility is the megatrend for the battery market. The industry is currently still relying on lithium-ion battery technology. Other batteries with greater efficiency and less environmental impact are being developed. After all, only the interplay of high-quality materials, high-performance production equipment and consistently efficient processes will bring technical feasibility and economic success.
Result
Interim managers have been working for companies in the battery industry for years, performing various tasks. There is a battery of expertise among interim managers that can be put to much greater use. At AC Alpha Interim Experts, we have repeatedly managed projects in the battery industry. We know the best managers for this industry in the fields of mechanical engineering, component development and production as well as efficiency improvement.
The use of interim managers as experts and know-how carriers is essential for the development and expansion of battery cell production in Germany and Europe.
