Lasers4NetZero – Laser material processing training for net-zero transition

Electric vehicle manufacturing generates about 30 % of total vehicle‑related emissions, mainly due to inefficient material use, low process efficiency, and product defects. The Lasers4NetZero project tackles these issues by advancing laser processing, AI‑based quality control, and process simulation, while training PhD researchers in these fields. Its goal is to reduce waste, boost efficiency and product quality, and deliver market‑ready solutions for lower‑carbon EV production.
