Preface The future of mobility is electric, networked and automated. The path to this mobility of the future is characterised by a complex, far-reaching process of change which, in view of the large number of possible development paths, poses major challenges for stakeholders in politics, business, science and society. The change process has several dimensions: in the course of the technological change towards alternative drive sys- tems, the increasing electriﬁcation of the drivetrain, the grow- ing networking of vehicles with each other and with infrastruc- ture, and the accelerating pace of evolution in automation bring about a fundamental change in products, generation and appli- cation processes. This leads to a change in the transport/ mobility system as a whole: new technologies offer the opportunity of redesigning and optimising the entire transport and mobility system, which is absolutely essential in view of the pressure to act in response to climate and environmental policy objectives. A prerequisite for this is a change in infra- structures: new propulsion technologies will only develop their full potential if the energy supply is transformed towards renewable energies and is, therefore, an integral part of the energy revolution. Challenges also lie, to a large extent, in energy distribution. In addition, networking and automation are placing new demands on infrastructures, which can probably only be solved on the basis of integrated approaches at local and regional level. All this also results in a far-reaching structural change: compa- nies in the automotive and supplier industry are facing the chal- lenge of a double structural change affecting the entire automotive industry. At the same time, companies are facing changes in mobility products, the digitalisation and rationalisa- tion of manufacturing processes, the internationalisation of development and production sites and a possible decline in free trade. This will have a negative impact on the growing value chains and cooperation agreements, and will require the companies concerned to make massive efforts to adapt their own structures and business models. One way to meet these diverse and complex challenges is through exchange, networking, collaboration and cooper- ation. The State Agency for New Mobility Solutions and Auto- motive, e-mobil BW GmbH, which was founded in 2010, has set itself the task of networking the relevant players from in- dustry, research, society and the public sector in Baden-Würt- temberg, with a focus on products and solutions for sustain- able and intelligent mobility of the future and supporting them on their way. Two central activities of e-mobil BW are the management of two important regional cluster initiatives, the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West founded in 2007 with more than 160 members at present, and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW founded in 2013 with more than 130 partners to date. In general, clusters are regional concentrations of com- panies, research, education and knowledge transfer institu- tions, as well as other public and semi-public institutions in a sector or a ﬁeld of technology and competence, which work together to achieve greater overall beneﬁts within the value chain. The aim of the joint work is strengthening the innovative competitiveness and increasing the perform- ance of the joint business location. In a cluster initiative, these innovation-oriented cooperative relationships are stra- tegically and organisationally coordinated, and possible gaps in the competencies or the value-added chain are closed through joint targeted activities. Today, Baden-Württemberg is one of the most successful locations in the automotive industry with a grown, fully devel- oped cluster of manufacturers, suppliers, mechanical and plant 8

engineering companies, equipment suppliers and an excellent research and university landscape. The successes of the past and present are no guarantee for the tasks of the future, yet the companies and research institutions in Baden-Württem- berg have a wide range of expertise. These include electric motors, power electronics, batteries, fuel cell technology, charging and energy technology, vehicle networking, automa- tion, information and communication technology, artiﬁcial intel- ligence or Industry 4.0, to name but a few examples – in short, the necessary conditions and knowledge for the electrical, automated and networked mobility of the future. And what is even more important: they are prepared to deploy their skills, knowledge, innovative strength and system understanding in forms of cooperation, projects and cluster work, in order to work together on the technologies, solutions and products of the future. By cooperating with our members and partners in the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW, we want to jointly seize opportunities, bundle competencies, exploit synergy effects and accelerate innovation process- es through a culture of trust and cooperation. This Compe- tence Guide provides an overview of the current members and partners of the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and Clus- ter Fuel Cell BW, as well as their international cooperation part- ners, and is intended as a guide to potential (project) partners and as a supporting medium for presenting and communicat- ing the “concentrated competence” of both cluster initiatives to politics, business and science. Together, we share the vision of a sustainable, emissions-free, intelligent and eco- nomically successful mobility of the future. And through our joint work in the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and Cluster Fuel Cell BW, we are shaping the steps and stages on the way to achieving this goal. 9

The Baden-Württemberg automotive industry Every tenth job in Baden-Württemberg depends on the car For more than 130 years, the automotive industry with its manufacturers and suppliers has been deeply rooted in Baden-Württemberg. Today, Baden-Württemberg is consid- ered to be the world’s leading centre for the automotive in- dustry: the entire value-added chain of automotive produc- tion, related services and associated equipment suppliers from mechanical and plant engineering is active in this loca- tion. The automotive industry is one of the core industrial sec- tors in Baden-Württemberg with an annual turnover of just over EUR 109 billion (2019). Vehicle construction alone ac- counts for around a tenth of the state's total gross added value. At the same time, the automotive industry is consid- ered to be the most research-intensive industrial sector in Germany and in Baden-Württemberg, accounting for almost half of the expenditure on research and development in the business sector in Baden-Württemberg. With direct and indi- rect employment effects, just under 1 % of all employees subject to national insurance contributions depend on the au- tomotive industry: almost 470,000 employees can be as- signed to the automotive cluster. This means that we can speak of a fully developed “automotive cluster”, which is made up of the direct automotive industry, its suppliers and equipment producers from the manufacturing industry, as well as the motor vehicle trade and retail sector, which spans the whole of Baden-Württemberg. Thanks to its network of well-established innovation and value-added chains in the au- tomotive, energy, information and communications technolo- gy, mechanical and plant engineering sectors – and in con- junction with the excellent research and higher education landscape in the relevant technology areas – Baden-Württem- berg has excellent prerequisites (including in alternative drive technologies, digital mobility solutions and offers) to be an inter- nationally leading innovation and production region in the future. Paradigm shift in times of a transformation process The vehicle and mobility industry is under the greatest pres- sure for change in decades. A multitude of new technologies – from fuel cells to synthetic fuels and battery technology – must be newly developed and industrialised. The possibilities of digital networking and automation are changing usage and mobility behaviour. But production and distribution processes are also facing major upheavals: mobility offers that are as easy to use as possible are replacing large, fast individual ve- hicles. New mobility concepts and appropriate services that reduce fossil energy consumption and enable optimal individ- ual route design with IT support should be seamlessly inte- grated in all aspects into people's living environment. Innovations through the cooperation of business, science and public authorities It can be increasingly observed that innovations can be creat- ed especially through the cooperation of different industries. In Baden-Württemberg, there is a high level of innovative power due to the successful cooperation and integration of services from the automotive sector, mechanical engineer- ing, IT and energy. The efﬁcient cooperation between indus- try, science and the public sector is a key to driving innov- ation. Efﬁcient research and technology clusters are valuable catalysts in this process. Therefore, the state government's cluster policy contributes to the development of cluster initia- tives in their effectiveness and efﬁciency in a sustainable manner. Furthermore, in recent years, the state government has provided funding for three state electric mobility initia- tives and many other projects totalling EUR 215 million. The digital@bw digitalisation strategy will invest EUR 1 billion. In order to jointly launch new environmentally friendly, econom- ically viable and socially just mobility solutions, the state gov- ernment launched the “Strategiedialog Automobilwirtschaft BW” (“Strategic Dialogue with the Automotive Industry 10

change in the state. Open to technology, e-mobil BW pro- motes the industrialisation, market launch and application of sustainable, climate-friendly and locally emissions-free mobil- ity solutions. It sees itself as a knowledge manager, initiator and communicator between companies, universities, re- search institutions, ministries and associations. Always with the entire automotive value chain in mind, e-mobil BW coor- dinates the two cluster initiatives Electric Mobility South- West and Fuel Cell BW, bundles valuable competencies and designs important innovation processes. BW”) in 2017. It creates a platform for discussing necessary changes in development, production and sales, the energy system, digitalisation and data networks, trafﬁc solutions, forward-looking research and social developments. There is a great deal of interest from industry, science, politics, trade unions, social groups and citizens in taking part in conten- tious discussions. Pioneer of mobility change The goal is to create a Baden-Württemberg that continues its mobile success story with sustainable mobility solutions and is an international leader in production and application. Baden-Württemberg has set out to transition from being the no. 1 automotive state to becoming the no. 1 mobility state. A central element is the State Agency for New Mobility Solu- tions and Automotive, e-mobil BW: it is the central contact point for all matters relating to new mobility solutions and supports this innovation process as a pioneer of mobility 11 © zapp2photo/AdobeStock

Cluster Electric Mobility South-West – Shaping sustainable and intelligent mobility With more than 160 members from industry and science at present, the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West, founded in 2007, is one of the largest research associations for future mobility. The mobility industry's complete value chain is covered by the cooperation of high-performance automotive manufacturers as well as leading global system suppliers and numerous renowned medium-sized companies with excel- lent research facilities and universities at their disposal. The Cluster Electric Mobility South-West thus provides the basis for new innovation processes. Our vision The cluster members are united by the common vision of working on energy-efﬁcient, environmentally friendly mobility in an age of scarce resources. Innovative technologies and methods are used to lay the foundations for new, sustainable and economical products and business models that will se- cure our regional value creation and employment, both in the cluster region itself and throughout Baden-Württemberg, and place it on a new footing. The symbiotic cooperation makes the players behind the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West the world's leading providers of mobility solutions and estab- lishes Baden-Württemberg as a central stakeholder for new and sustainable digital mobility solutions with international appeal. The aim of the network is to advance the industrialisa- tion of new mobility concepts in Germany and to position Baden-Württemberg as an integrated research, development and production location for sustainable and innovative mobil- ity solutions. Our strategy The strategic focus of the activities of the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West is on improving the innovative ability of its members through cooperation in working and project groups. The cluster succeeds in bringing together companies across sectors with research institutes in a unique, long-term and extremely stable cooperation network, thus accelerating research and development in the ﬁeld of new mobility solu- tions. The cluster, therefore, makes a decisive contribution to the technological change towards low-emission, efﬁcient and market-supported mobility. The Cluster Electric Mobility South-West is also well known beyond Baden-Württemberg. The cluster's networking with relevant players in the national and international environment – particularly in Europe, but also in North America and Asia – plays an important role. An overview of our partners can be found on the partner page in this Competence Guide. By expanding the international coop- eration network of the cluster and its members, the develop- ment of relevant sales markets for attractive mobility solu- tions of the future will be advanced. The services offered by the cluster are intended to make it easier for small and medi- um-sized companies, in particular, to ﬁnd relevant internation- al target markets and suitable cooperation partners abroad. Promoting top clusters In 2012, the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West was recog- nised as one of the 15 top clusters by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and thus re- ceived EUR 40 million in funding over a period of ﬁve years. Within the framework of the funding dedicated to promoting top clusters, 18 innovative projects were successfully imple- mented from within the cluster. In 2014, the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West was awarded the Baden-Württemberg Cluster Excellence Label and the European Cluster Manage- ment Excellence Label GOLD for the ﬁrst time. Since the label was ﬁrst awarded, the cluster successfully achieved recertiﬁcation in 2016 and 2019. In addition, the cluster has been a member of the cluster policy excellence measure “Go-Cluster” by the Federal Ministry of Economics and En- ergy since 2014. 12

Cluster Fuel Cell BW – bundled competence in Baden-Württemberg These topics have been broken down into ﬁve thematic areas: trucks and ships. Issues relating to energy supply where conventional technologies are not efﬁcient or sustainable enough. - Hydrogen production and infrastructure Topics related to electrolysis, hydrogen distribution and ﬁlling stations. - Transport Mobility issues such as cars, commercial vehicles, - Energy - Production Topics related to the production of the components for all the above-mentioned technologies. - Vocational, further education and training Topics relating to vocational, continuing and further training in the ﬁeld of fuel cells and hydrogen within the scope of in-house training programmes and at universities. In addition, the cluster offer includes a number of cross-cut- ting topics that link the individual subject areas: education and internationalisation, as well as knowledge transfer and management. The cluster management The coordination of the Cluster Fuel Cell BW has been taken over by e-mobil BW as the State Agency for New Mobility Solutions and Automotive. In terms of cluster management, it offers, among other things, professional network manage- ment, project management and innovation management. The Cluster Fuel Cell BW is an association of many play- ers in the ﬁeld of hydrogen and fuel cell technology based in Baden-Württemberg. It is made up of companies, research institutions, public services and associations, and aims to accelerate the market ramp-up and market ma turity of various hydrogen technologies. The cluster was founded in 2013 with the participation of four state ministries and has since been working on the market ramp-up of various hydrogen technologies. At the same time, it acts as an important source of impetus for research institu- tions and ministries in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The cluster now consists of over 115 organisations (as of mid- 2020). Aim and working areas of the cluster The members have jointly set themselves the goal of achiev- ing market maturity for hydrogen mobility and fuel-cell-based stationary systems with marketable and customer-friendly series products. This already demonstrates that the cluster is not only pushing the topics of automotive, commercial vehicles and drivetrains based on the fuel cell, but also stationary applications such as fuel cell heaters or hydrogen-based emergency power gene- rators. 20

Partners and members of both cluster initiatives more, there is the possibility to participate as a partner in forms of cooperation with the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West. Our partners mainly comprise intermediaries, associations or users, as well as international and national clusters and networks with which there is closer cooper- ation. The partners are presented in the chapter “Additional partners of Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and Cluster Fuel Cell BW” and in the chapter “International partners of Cluster Electric Mobility South-West”. The Competence Guide makes no claim to completeness. Participation with a proﬁle is on a voluntary basis. In addi- tion, the number of members of both cluster initiatives is continuously increasing. The Competence Guide reﬂects the current status as of 15 June 2020. The Competence Guide aims to provide an overview of the competencies within the respective cluster initiative, the Cluster Fuel Cell BW and the Cluster Electric Mobility South- West. Particularly in times of structural change and new technological challenges, previous thematic and industry- related boundaries must be broken down in order to make the best possible use of synergies. The ﬁelds of work being pursued by the two cluster initiatives are, therefore, increas- ingly merging and various opportunities for cooperation are materialising. This is also reﬂected in the active participation of companies and research institutions in both cluster initiatives. The two cluster initiatives have subtle differences in their respective structures. The Cluster Fuel Cell BW names all its stakeholders as partners. It makes no difference as to whether the respect- ive organisation is a manufacturer of vehicles and compo- nents, a researcher, a user or an association. In order to be able to structure the ﬁelds of competence in the present Guide, it is nevertheless necessary to make a classiﬁcation. For a complete proﬁle, a research and/or production activity (or at least the activity of prototype construction in Baden-Württemberg) is a prerequisite. Those entities that are exclusively users, associations, business development agencies, as well as non-researching and non-producing companies, will ﬁnd their place in the chapter “Additional partners of Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and Cluster Fuel Cell BW”. Membership of the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West is open to interested and committed players from industry and research with research and development activities in Baden-Württemberg. In this Competence Guide, the cluster members are each presented with a proﬁle page. Further- 30

Fields of competence Components Drivetrain System integration/system manufacturer Automotive Chemical storage, electrical storage, Stationary systems vehicle electrical system, inverter (electrical/ electrical), motor/generator, thermal management, gearbox, fuel cell system (chemical/electrical inverter) Interior Equipment, electrics/electronics, thermal management Exterior Electrics/electronics, chassis, vehicle cover Service Software Testing Energy Development Due to the heterogeneity of the members/partners of both cluster initiatives, it is difﬁcult to draw up a uniform picture of the existing competencies. For this reason, the approach pursued in the Competence Guide is deliberately placed at a higher level (macro perspective). On the basis of the ﬁelds of competence, the common features of all members are to be presented in a bundled form. The Competence Guide is aimed at a broad public, so that not only experts in the ﬁeld but also representatives from politics and society can gain an insight into the two cluster initiatives. The speciﬁc com- petencies or unique selling points are illustrated in the re- spective proﬁle texts. The ﬁelds of competence were devel- oped by cluster management and represent a major focus of the members' competencies. Due to the constantly growing network and the developing content focus, this cannot be seen as conclusive, meaning that, in the future, further topics, e. g. in the area of software and artiﬁcial intel- ligence, will be added. The present Competence Guide lo- cates the joint competencies of the members/partners of the two cluster initiatives in nine different competence ﬁelds under three headings (cf. ﬁg. above Fields of compe- tence) Under the heading “System integrator/system manu- facturer”, the competence ﬁelds automotive and stationary systems are listed. The components are primarily subdivid- ed into “Drivetrain”, “Interior” and “Exterior”, and these themselves are further subdivided into several subcatego- ries. The heading “Service” covers the four competence ﬁelds “Software”, “Testing”, “Energy” and “Development”. The members/partners themselves have selected which of these ﬁelds of competence are shown on the respective proﬁle page. The headings are nevertheless included on each proﬁle page to ensure clarity. Search within the Competence Guide The members/partners of the two cluster initiatives are sort- ed alphabetically so that you can search by name in the table of contents. The Organisational Index can be used for a general search for research institutions/universities/col- leges, companies or intermediaries. If you are looking for a speciﬁc competence in the cluster initiatives, you can use the Competence Field Index to ﬁnd speciﬁc stakeholders based on their competence ﬁelds. 31

Highly efﬁcient production of bipolar plates with the highest demands placed on the design of the ﬂow ﬁeld As a tool shop with over 50 years of experience in the ﬁeld of highly complex forming challenges, we have set ourselves the goal of meeting the technical demands in the forming of metallic bipolar plates with ﬁligree channel structures (ﬂow ﬁeld) and very thin steel foils, mostly made of stainless steel, in an extremely efﬁcient large-scale production process. We are thus addressing two decisive areas which support the fuel cell as a complete system when achieving the desired breakthrough: efﬁcient cost structure and, at the same time, the process-safe realisation of the technical and efﬁciency-critical requirements in the area of the large-scale production of metallic bipolar plates. Our development enables the process-secure implementation of the required ﬂow ﬁeld structures with a precision and surface quality not previously available on the market. We currently work in sheet thickness ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm and develop the optimum ﬂow ﬁeld design together with our customers. Our manufacturing process is future-oriented in terms of its design and is set out to handle the largest quantities.

KIT, IAM-WET – characterisation and modelling of fuel cells At the Institute for Applied Materials – Materials for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IAM-WET) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), fuel cells have been developed and investigated since 1996 in cooperation with national and international partners from industry, large-scale research institutions and universities. The characterisation and modelling of fuel cells (SOFC, PEMFC) and electrolysers (SOEC) is in focus. Impedance spectroscopy and the DRT method (distribution of relaxation times) developed at the Institute make it possible to resolve the individual loss components, describe them using physicochemical equivalent circuit models (ESB) and thus quantify losses and ageing processes in the cathode, electrolyte and anode. For the microstructural analysis of porous electrode structures, tomographic methods (FIB-SEM, µCT) are used, which allow a three- dimensional reconstruction of the material and pore distribution in the electrode volume.

Energy-efﬁcient mobility: safe, intelligent networking and alternative drives The Research Institute of Energy Efﬁcient Mobility (IEEM) is concerned with with various topics for efﬁcient, sustainable and holistic mobility. The holistic concept is reﬂected by a focus on networked mobility solutions within the R&D ﬁelds, which not only deal with the vehicle itself. Such system openings are exposed to an overarching risk of cyber attack, which is why questions about security in embedded and distributed systems are answered at the IEEM. On the drive side, the IEEM focuses on the use of alternative fuels as renewable energy sources and offers a unique climate and altitude simulation test bench for hand-held power tools. Using an IoT-based remote control – with the functions of a human hand – the test objects in the test bench can be automatically remote controlled. Efﬁciency also includes the development of assistance systems and intelligent driving functions such as for vehicles and e-bikes. These topics are addressed by another research team of the Institute. The IEEM has its headquarters on the Bruchsal Research Campus and on the campus of the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.

We create value from information Modern mobility is based on the digital services, marketplaces and platforms behind it. The staff of the chair of Prof. Weinhardt is conducting research to improve the quality of electronic markets and platforms. As part of interdisciplinary research projects, we link methods from the ﬁelds of economics, business studies, business informatics and psychology. For example, we are investigating how stakeholders can be encouraged to collect data relevant to mobility and share it on data marketplaces. We also investigate the preferences of electric vehicle users with regard to smart charging and the extent to which their behaviour is inﬂuenced by incentives (such as smart tariffs, use of local electricity and emissions reduction). Furthermore, we investi- gate whether a change in the behaviour of private and commercial users is necessary and how electric mobility can be adapted to their needs. This under- standing enables the efﬁcient coordination of electric mobility in the overall system of sustainable energy supply.

Technology leader for integrated system solutions for test automation One of the great challenges of our future is to preserve nature, but also to reduce the increasing number of pollutant emissions. For this reason, alternative systems for generating energy and drive concepts to secure our mobility are increasingly being sought. An essential part of such a system is the fuel cell with so-called bipolar plates. On this basis and with the knowledge gained from our previous experience we have developed, among other things, a leak test system for bipolar plates, which, by means of trace gas, enables measuring accuracy up to the range of <1E-4 mbar*l/s independent of temperature. For decades, LIWO Prüfautomation has been involved in the processes, test procedures and quality requirements of the major automotive suppliers, as well as the energy and pharmaceutical industries, and develops efﬁcient plant concepts for them, according to the motto “Lippok & Wolf [FINALLY A SOLUTION]”.

Our visions: intelligent and emissions-free mobility and accident-free driving The basis of our work is the research and development of modern methods of measurement and control engineering, as well as signal processing and (real-time) optimisation, which are applied to issues in the ﬁelds of electric mobility, automat- ed driving and mechatronic systems. The practical applicability of our research is an important concern and will be demonstrated on our own test benches and test vehicles with test vehicle approval, as well as on our pilot plant with infrastructure sensor technology for networked driving. In addition to data-driven modelling and, based on this, the control and onboard diagnostics of batteries and fuel cells, higher-level, forward-looking operating strategies for electric vehicles are a research priority in the ﬁeld of electric mobility. This work is also increasingly being networked with our research on automated driving, in which classical methods, as well as machine learning methods (Deep Learning/KI), are used. Focal points here include object recognition and environ- ment modelling, multi-object tracking and situational understanding in the vehicle and in the infrastructure.

Artiﬁcial intelligence for better roads With artiﬁcial intelligence for the long-term maintenance of roads, vialytics offers the intelligent, systematic and cost-efﬁcient recording of the road’s condition on the basis of AI, and thus has a decisive effect on the improvement and maintenance of road infrastructure. The heart of the data collection is a specially developed app for smartphones. The target group consists of municipalities, in particular their civil engineering ofﬁces. In contrast to other road monitoring procedures, which collect data in intervals of ﬁve years, vialytics speciﬁcally collects the status of the roads several times a year and thus, for the ﬁrst time, depicts the real status change process. The automatic evaluation of our data provides local authorities for the ﬁrst time with an objective data basis on which they can react to the current condition of their roads. After all, sustainable and cost-efﬁcient maintenance management can only be introduced through the early detection of damage. vialytics GmbH Silberburgstr. 187 70178 Stuttgart www.vialytics.de Employees: 19 Contact partner Jonas Hock Phone: +49 711 25295190 j.hock@vialytics.de Fields of competence Components Interior Equipment, electrics/electronics System integration/system manufacturer Automotive Service Software Testing Development 197 © vialytics GmbH
