S4MILE – Solid State Battery Smart & Structural Modular Integration into Vehicle through Flexible Module to Chassis Design

S4MILE project aims to support the large-scale introduction of electric vehicles by simplifying the vehicle structure and integrating the next-generation solid-state cells into the vehicle structure based on a disruptive and innovative ‘virtual’ module-to-chassis concept (VM2C) based on large tructural ALU casting and composite unibodies.
