E-mobility has already fundamentally changed the everyday working lives of many companies and employees in the automotive industry. Planning engineers and production managers as well as assembly workers are confronted with the challenges in levelling and slitting technology in their daily work. The steady expansion of e-mobility and the legal regulations relating to conventional combustion engines are subjecting the traffic and transport sectors to comprehensive change. To reduce emissions, for example, lighter car bodies and vehicle components are needed. In addition, crash safety also plays a role, because the accommodation of heavy batteries in a vehicle requires appropriately designed body structures that take an accident scenario into account. While fibre composites are sometimes used in small series in this context, materials such as high-strength steel and aluminium are asserting themselves in large series construction with continuous refinement. In addition to the comparatively low costs, the excellent recyclability is a significant advantage of metallic materials. However, their further development often poses new challenges for the processing procedures and the machines used.
