Solid-state batteries (SSB) are gaining significant attention due to their long range, fast charging capabilities, high stability, and potential for lower costs. 🔋 Our Porsche Consulting battery experts Dr. Steffen Wirth , Associated Partner, and Xiaohan Wu, Dr. Sc. , Lead Expert, participated in the Future of Batteries Summit together with HPB | High Performance Battery Holding AG in New York. The event was a venture capital-focused gathering with numerous start-ups and investors, underlining the growing interest and momentum in next-generation battery technologies. The advantages of SSBs are attracting interest from automotive OEMs and various other industries. What opportunities and challenges do they bring for car manufacturers, cell makers, and the supply chain? ➡️ Technology Potential: Solid-state batteries offer a promising solution for achieving high performance and stability. ➡️ Industrialization Challenge: Before large-scale deployment, key industrialization challenges must be addressed to ensure performance and cost competitiveness. Approximately 60% of current cell production processes need to be adapted or replaced to meet new production requirements. ➡️ Raw Materials Impact: Leading SSB technologies typically require significantly higher lithium content compared with today’s lithium-ion batteries (up to 70% more per kWh). This increases exposure to raw material price volatility and the risk of lithium shortages, emphasizing the importance of strategic raw material management for SSB players.

How can European rail operators succeed in making rail passenger transport more attractive? 🚅 Compared to cars and planes, rail often has advantages in several areas. However, this is only the case when the quality, convenience, availability, and price are right. With the European Commission’s Green Deal climate protection package, the share of European high-speed transportation is set to double by 2030 and triple by 2050. The rail industry can build on this momentum – but only if a few important prerequisites are met, such as the urgent need for digitalization. What would be the first key steps toward digitalization, tailored to passenger needs? Marc Zacherl , Senior Partner at Porsche Consulting, highlights the main factors: ➡️ Customer-centric approach: digital customer interfaces and cross-regional apps enable convenient, efficient travel, leading to a seamless customer experience – from planning and booking to arrival. ➡️ Personalization: digitalization helps to identify customer needs and offer personalized travel options that take into account passengers’ individual preferences. ➡️ Standardization: unlocking the full potential of digitalization requires seamless coordination between infrastructure, rolling stock, and operations, along with harmonized national and European standards. ➡️ Technology: modern trains equipped with advanced onboard systems and sensors enable predictive maintenance and enhance operational safety and stability. ➡️ Efficiency: end-to-end digitalization across the entire value chain, using AI and automated, integrated systems, lays the foundation for sustained punctuality above 90%.
