Approximate 30% of the emissions of e-vehicles comes from the manufacturing processes, due to un-optimised material utilisation, low process efficiency, product defects and waste.Current state-of-the-art identifies laser material processing technologies the heart of e-vehicles manufacturing. Advances in laser technologies and new generation scanning optics in fuel cell and battery manufacturing have the potential to offer enhanced utilisation of materials, improved process efficiency and product quality, allowing significant reduction in CO2 equivalent.Lasers4NetZero will establish an innovative training programme that aims at coaching a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative doctoral candidates (PhDs) focused on laser material processing, artificial intelligence for quality control, advanced process simulation and predictive lifecycle and sustainability analysis for e-vehicles manufacturing. This novel programme will contain both scientific and transferable training activities and will benefit from training across the network (e.g. secondments). In total, 10 PhDs will be enrolled, developing individual research projects within the project. Individual PhD projects will integrate novel methods and approaches for laser material processing (cutting and welding) aided by laser beam shaping and ultra-fast scanning technologies with the ultimate goal to enhance utilisation of materials, improve process efficiency and product quality and reducedefects and waste.The consortium involves 6 Academic partners and 8 Industrial partners guaranteeing that final solutions will be close to the market. The close cooperation among multidisciplinary partners will ensure knowledge transfer to cross the valley-of-death between research and implementation. To maximise impact, two demonstrators (fuel cells and battery systems) will be developed in conjunction with the Industrial partners.

电动汽车约30%的排放来自制造过程，原因是材料利用率不优化、工艺效率低、产品缺陷和浪费。目前最先进的激光材料加工技术是电动汽车制造的核心。激光技术的进步以及燃料电池和电池制造中的新一代扫描光学技术的进步，有可能提高材料的利用率、提高工艺效率和产品质量，从而大幅降低二氧化碳当量。Lasers4NetZero将建立一个创新的培训计划，旨在培训新一代具有创造力、企业家精神和创新精神的博士生，专注于激光材料加工、用于质量控制的人工智能、高级工艺模拟以及电动汽车制造的预测生命周期和可持续性分析。这一新方案将包括科学和可转移的培训活动，并将受益于整个网络的培训(例如借调)。总共将招收10名博士，在该项目中开发单独的研究项目。个别博士项目将整合激光材料加工(切割和焊接)的新方法和新途径，辅助激光光束成形和超快扫描技术，最终目标是提高材料的利用率，提高加工效率和产品质量，减少缺陷和浪费。联盟由6个学术合作伙伴和8个产业合作伙伴组成，确保最终解决方案将贴近市场。多学科伙伴之间的密切合作将确保知识转移跨越研究和实施之间的死亡谷。为了最大限度地发挥影响，将与工业合作伙伴一起开发两个演示程序(燃料电池和电池系统)。
