Online Topic Lecture of Prof. Jürgen Fleischer (wbk)

On March 3, 2025, Prof. Jürgen Fleischer from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT-wbk) delivered an insightful online lecture at our graduate school on the topic of "Circularity in E-Mobility."

During his talk, Prof. Fleischer emphasized the critical role of disassembly and recycling in reducing the production costs of electric vehicles and promoting sustainability. He also highlighted key challenges, such as the high variability and uncertain condition of components at the end of their life cycle, which complicate efficient recycling and reuse processes. Subsequently, he presented a concept and first prototypes of a flexible disassembly system which can deal with these challenges.

Following the lecture, an engaging discussion took place, leveraging the multidisciplinary expertise of the participants. The exchange of ideas enriched the conversation and provided valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in sustainable mobility. We sincerely thank Prof. Fleischer for his inspiring presentation and for sharing his expertise with us.
