E-mobility, the umbrella term for vehicles, vessels, and aircraft powered partially or entirely by electricity, plays a crucial role in advancing sustainable transportation for goods and people. While many people associate it with electric cars or bicycles, e-mobility encompasses much more. Innovative solutions such as Urban Air Mobility (UAM) with manned UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), railway advancements, and new technologies for land and water transport are integral to this transformation.
For these sectors, lightweight construction is key to achieving maximum efficiency. The combination of lightweight composites, high strength, stiffness, and freedom in 3D shaping is crucial. Refitech offers a wide range of solutions, including sandwich panels, body components, housings, and standard products designed specifically for the challenges of modern mobility.
Carbon Composites in New Mobility Solutions
Refitech does not focus on mass production for cars or scooters but specializes in niche applications within the mobility sector where performance and customization are paramount. Our expertise in carbon composites, including honeycomb sandwich panels and CNC machining, provides solutions for complex and demanding projects in:
- Manned and Unmanned UAVs and Urban Air Mobility:
UAV‘s and Urban Air Mobility are rapidly evolving within e-mobility, addressing both passenger transportation and logistics. For these new aviation solutions, lightweight and strong materials like carbon are essential to maximize flight time and range without compromising safety or performance. Refitech provides custom-made components such as housings, panels, and structural parts specifically designed for UAM applications. - Railway Construction:
In railway construction, the focus is on sustainable rail transport, where electrification and climate-conscious design are priorities. By utilizing composite materials, structural components can be made lighter and more durable, contributing to more efficient and environmentally friendly railway transport. This is particularly critical for the development of public passenger rail, where innovations such as next-generation components not only enhance energy efficiency but also reduce maintenance costs and minimize climate impact. Refitech can produce both structural high-strength parts and panel assemblies in series. - High-Performance Components for Specialized Vehicles:
For specific vehicles (non-mass production), Refitech offers custom-made components where weight and strength are critical. Applications include floor and door panels, battery housings, frame components, and complex 3D parts.
