For the 5th consecutive year, HRC at the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE). Watch the highlights below👇 #CIIE2024

Dr. Viktor Reimer (ACTC) and his project partner Dominik Granich (ITA Institut für Textiltechnik der RWTH Aachen University) recently presented at Dornbirn-GFC in Austria, discussing their work on fast prototyping a hydrogen storage pressure vessel made from carbon fiber composite. The concept involves using the same platform as a battery electric car, with energy stored either in a battery or hydrogen under the car's floor. This project has the potential to significantly influence sustainable transportation. “#HRC #ACTC #DornbirnGFC #FiberCongress Photos souce: Textile Technology

ACTC participated in the 27th China Composites Expo (CCExpo) in Shanghai from September 2-4, presenting nearly 20 innovative products. From international collaborations to innovative pre-research projects, the display highlighted cutting-edge technologies such as SMC, winding, and injection molding, alongside pioneering developments in sustainable materials. Dr. Timo Huber, ACTC’s VP, presented sustainable lightweight solutions for electric vehicles at the 7th International Automotive Composites Innovation Seminar, emphasizing the role of composites in enhancing vehicle performance and sustainability. As Asia’s largest composites event, the CCE serves as a crucial platform for fostering global collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange within the composites industry. #ACTC #Innovation #Composites #Sustainability #AdvancedMaterials #Lightweight

On August 29, 2024, in Chengdu, Airbus Lifecycle Services Center (ALSC) and HRC established a strategic partnership to launch China's first aircraft dismantling and recycling project. The agreement was signed by Mr. Brian Agnew, GM of ALSC, and Mr. Zhiyong Wang, GM of Carbon Neutrality at HRC, with the signing witnessed by Mr. Gang Xu, GVP of Airbus & CEO of Airbus China; Mr. Chen Zhao, VP of Airbus China; Mr. Yongtao Gu, President of HRC; and Mr. Zheng Gao, VP of Aerospace at HRC. This initiative represents a major step forward in promoting sustainable aviation practices. The collaboration combines HRC's expertise in the full lifecycle of carbon fiber composites with ALSC's unique position as the only aircraft recycling project operated by an aircraft manufacturer. Together, they aim to achieve high material recovery rates, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact. The first project under this partnership involves the dismantling of an A330-200 aircraft, setting a new standard for green development in aviation and providing a model for future industry practices. #aviation #sustainability #lifecycle #HRC #Airbus #carbonfiber #recycle

On August 7, 2024, HRC and XPENG AEROHT, Asia's largest flying car company, signed a strategic partnership agreement in Guangzhou. Expanding on their prior collaboration, this partnership will utilize HRC Auto’s extensive production capabilities to facilitate the manufacturing of future aircraft models. The focus will be on process innovations, mass production, and expanding the industrial layout of XPeng AeroHT’s low-altitude products, including the modular flying car and the “Land Aircraft Carrier.” XPeng AeroHT's Senior Director of Purchasing Mr. Ying Huang and HRC Auto's Deputy GM of Sales Mrs. Meixiang Yang signed the agreement on behalf of their respective companies. The partnership includes significant initiatives in sustainable development, leveraging HRC's expertise in carbon fiber and bio-based composite materials to create recyclable, lightweight solutions. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in advancing the low-altitude economy and pioneering green, innovative aerial mobility solutions. #lowaltitute #aviation #lightweight #recyclable #carbonfiber

Exciting updates from SAMPE China 2024! 🌟 Held on June 19, 2024, in Beijing, this prestigious event attracted leading experts and scholars from around the world, focusing on “Advanced Composites Leading Industrial Innovation and Sustainable Development.” Our ACTC team, including Dr. Frank Henning, Dr. Timo Huber, and Mr. Wenjun Yu 余文俊 presented on two key topics: "Design, Manufacturing, and Application of Composite Materials in Commercial Aerospace Fields" and "Advanced Composite Materials in Rail Transit Applications", showcased ACTC's latest technologies and innovative processes, drawing significant attention and sparking lively discussions. #SAMPE2024 #AdvancedComposites #Innovation #Sustainability #ACTC #HRC

The H3 of H2: High Pressure, High Safety, High Speed Winding of an H2 Tank Join our LinkedIn Business Vlog with Dr. Viktor Reimer, Head of Pressure Vessel at ACTC In this video you will learn from ACTC how to make 700 bar pressure vessel tanks for hydrogen applications. Since hydrogen is risky they have designed a safety factor of 2.35 Imagine your car tire has some 2 bars "only". Compare it with 700x2.35! We also clarify how HRC has shared the tasks between its European sites (Engenuity Ltd, ACTC and the newest member Compositex S.r.l.) and China. To enjoy a more inclusive experience switch on the closed captions (cc). This episode is soon also as an audio podcast alongside the Youtube podcast. We recommend to also watch the short announcement of Jordi Aranega on the recent acquisition of an Italian Carbon Composites producer (Link in the comments). We continue with our post-show coverage of JEC Group's JEC World in the next weeks to come. #composites360OnTour
