Energy-efficient production strategies and technologies for electric drives

Due to the scarcity of resources the sustainable production of electric drives has become more and more important. In the context of a potentially huge increase in the demand for electric traction drives by the market of e-mobility, this topic is even more challenging. For this, new topologies with lower requirements for the needed valuable resources, new energy efficient drive concepts, optimized production, and logistic processes in terms of their resource requirements and integrated recycling strategies are presented in this paper.
