Advanced Light materials for sustainable Electrical Vehicles by Integration of eco-design and circular economy Strategies’ – ‘LEVIS’ (‘action’)
Program: H2020

Date of execution: 01/02/2021-31/01/2024
The LEVIS H2020-LC-GV-2020 project, coordinated by ITAINNOVA, aims to develop lightweight components for electric vehicles through the use of new multi-material technologies and is conceived within the framework of the circular economy. The technical and economic feasibility, as well as its environmental impact, will be demonstrated through three real applications: a suspension control arm, the battery clamping system and a cross beam. LEVIS aims to develop solutions for these multi-material components based on environmentally friendly resins and reinforcement systems, cost-effective manufacturing processes, optimized joining, advanced simulation methodologies and structural integrity monitoring technologies. The combination of these developments will make it possible to obtain lightweight, cost-effective and environmentally friendly components, without compromising their mechanical performance, structural integrity and reliability, even improving their service life.
