IntWertL research project presented at Hannover Messe as a flagship project

From 31.03.2025 to 04.04.2025 - Hall 8, Stand D26

The Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) has invited our "IntWertL" project to present itself at the Hannover Messe. This is because it is seen as a true lighthouse project, both in terms of innovation, complexity, (funding) size and networking with other mobility and platform projects.

"IntWertL" stands for "Intelligent value creation networks for low-volume lightweight vehicles" and deals with the question of how a collaborative platform can be used to manufacture niche vehicles more efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably and thus meet the mobility requirements of the future. The project is coordinated by bwcon research gGmbH, supported by TÜV Rheinland and combines the expertise of 22 funding partners - including us.

The project team can be found from 31 March to 4 April 2025 at the joint stand of Plattform Industrie 4.0 in Hall 8, Stand D26, where visitors will be presented with the initial results of the project. They will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with and try out the software for the collaborative platform. Supplemented by videos and real components, they can familiarise themselves extensively with the multifaceted topic.

The presentation will be rounded off by a talk on EcoVity, the collaboration platform that emerged from IntWertL. The presentation will take place on 2 April at 15:30 on the BMWK stand stage in Hall 2, Stand A18.

With its competencies and expertise in the areas of overall vehicle design, lightweight concept development, the development and optimisation of structural components, powertrains, chassis components and interior/exterior, the DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts is integrated into the project in the areas of process and requirements analysis (WP1100), coordination of use cases (WP6300) and the development, testing and validation of decentralised engineering networks (WP5200) as well as the production network for additively manufactured structures (WP5300).

The interaction between the customer, the EcoVity.de platform and the partners in the engineering and production network was successfully trialled as part of a simulation game. The result and the story of the development and production of a customised last-mile CargoBox for the customer AtTrack will be exhibited at the Hannover Messe.
