ABOUT THE PARTNERS

5 partners carry the project Light Vehicle 2025 out:

Flanders Make Logo

Flanders Make is the research centre for the manufacturing industry. We work together with companies and knowledge centres and perform pre-competitive, technological research into product and production innovations for the vehicle sector, the mechanical engineering industry and assembly environments, not only from our sites in Lommel, Leuven and, shortly, West-Flanders, but also together with colleagues working at the Flemish universities. Together with all our partners, we close the gap between academic research and industrial application. Our research projects deliberately target the technology pioneers within the Flemish landscape. We support these large and small companies step by step throughout their innovation projects and help them to translate the developed technologies and acquired knowledge into concrete products and services. This enables them to grow and offers them a competitive edge. In this way, we can keep companies and employment in Flanders. But it doesn’t stop there. We also stimulate, both within the scope of our service offer and through partnerships, the continued rollout of these product and production innovations as other companies often face similar technological challenges. In this way, we create added value for the whole manufacturing industry.

Liege Universite Logo

Liège University: The Department of Aerospace and Mechanics of the University of Liège is the heir to a long tradition of cutting-edge research in the field of digital mechanics applied to aerospace and mechanics. In addition, the department has also developed experimental research in mechanical production systems, energy and propulsion for aircraft and land vehicles. The Automotive Engineering Group Laboratory research group is in charge of the specific application of this fundamental research to the automotive field, with strong axes in the field of computer-aided structural and transmission design, but also in the design and prototyping of innovative propulsion systems. During the project, the Automotive Engineering Laboratory will lead the selection of outstanding demonstrators that will demonstrate the potential for mass reduction and CO2 emissions. The University of Liège also puts its experience at the service of research into innovative concepts with a view to reducing the weight of selected systems and components by using design and optimisation methods derived from the most recent research.
