Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector

RECOTRANS Project has started on 01/10/2018. The objective of this project is to create a new manufacturing system for obtaining multi-material metal composites products suitable for the transport industry, obtaining high quality lightweight multi-materials at high production rates; reducing production cost, energy consumption and time to market and contributing to reduce CO2 emissions.

The consortium is composed by 13 project partners from 7 different countries: AIMPLAS (Spain); STAV (Spain); GESTAMP (Spain); MBT (Turkey); ARKEMA (France); INEA (Slovenia); TECNOCLAD (Spain); SYNTHESITES (Greece); FAR (United Kingdom); CTAG (Spain); ITU (Turkey); Fraunhofer ICT (Germany); POLYMEC (Spain).

Kick-off Meeting of the RECOTRANS Project, coordinated by AIMPLAS, was held on the 5th October, where partners could share their general view of the project and to plan in detail the steps to be taken in the next 6 months.

During this first stage of the project, the progress will focus on the requirements definition, either from the material and production system, for the three demonstrators that will be produced in the project (parts for automotive, truck and railway sector), together with the selection and adaptation of materials. 

During the meeting, partners also visited AIMPLAS’s facilities, where the meeting was held, and TECNOCLAD’s facilities, both in Paterna (Valencia – SPAIN).
