Preface The future of mobility is electric, connected, and auto- mated. The path to the mobility of the future is characte- rised by complex, far-reaching change processes which, in view of the multitude of possible development paths, pose major challenges for the stakeholders in politics, business, science and society. The process of change has several dimensions: In the course of the technology shift towards alternative drive systems, increasing electrification of the powertrain, in- creasing connectivity of vehicles with one another and the infrastructure, and an ever-faster progression of automation all bring about fundamental changes in products, produc- tion and application processes. This changes the entire transport and mobility system: new technologies offer opportunities for the transformation and optimisation of the entire transport and mobility system which is imperative in view of the pressures resulting from climate change and en- vironmental objectives and policies. A prerequisite for this is a change in infrastructure: New drive technologies can only be fully exploited when we rethink energy supply and move towards renewable sources of energy as part of the energy transition. The largest challenges can be found in the field of energy distribution. Connectivity and automa- tion result in new demands on the infrastructure which can likely only be solved by integrated approaches at the munic- ipal and regional levels. All this also results in profound structural changes: The companies in the automotive and supplier industries are fac ing challenges posed by two structural changes within the entire automotive industry. Companies need to deal with changing mobility products, digitalisation and the ratio- nalisation of manufacturing processes, internationalisation of development and manufacturing locations and the decli- ne of free trade lurking behind the horizon. These will funda- mentally change established value chains and cooperation structures and they will require massive adjustment efforts from the companies regarding their own organisations and also their business models. One way to counter these diverse and complex challenges is exchange, networking, cooperation, and collaboration. The State Agency for New Mobility Solutions and Automo- tive, e-mobil BW GmbH, which was founded in 2010, has committed itself to bringing together, accompanying, and supporting the relevant players in industry, research, socie- ty, and the public sector in Baden-Württemberg with a fo- cus on products and solutions for a sustainable and smart mobility of the future. The key activities of e-mobil BW GmbH are the management of two important regional clus- ter initiatives, the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West founded in 2007, with more than 170 members today, and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW founded in 2013, with more than 190 partners. Generally spoken, clusters are regional concentrations of companies, research, education and knowledge sharing in- stitutions, as well as other public and semi-public institu- tions in a sector or a field of technology and competence. These cooperate along the value chain in order to jointly achieve higher overall benefits. Their joint efforts aim to strengthen innovative competitiveness and boost the performance of the business location they share. Within the cluster initiatives, these innovation-oriented co- operative relationships are strategically and organisationally coordinated and possible gaps in terms of competencies or the value chain are closed through joint targeted activities. 8

and economically successful mobility of the future. With our joint efforts within the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW, we are shaping the steps and stages along the way Dr. Wolfgang Fischer Procurator, Divisional Head of Projects and Cluster Activities Today, Baden-Württemberg, featuring a fully developed tra- ditional cluster of manufacturers, suppliers, machine and plant builders, equipment suppliers, and an excellent re- search and university landscape, is one of the most suc- cessful locations for the automotive industry. Success in the past and today does not guarantee success in the fu- ture. Nevertheless, the companies and research institutions in Baden-Württemberg can rely on their wide spectrum of competencies. These include electric motors, power elec- tronics, batteries, fuel cell technology, charging and energy technology, connected vehicles, automation, information and communication technology, artificial intelligence, or In- dustry 4.0, to name just a few – in short, they have the ne- cessary knowledge for the electric, automated and connect- ed mobility of the future. And what is even more important: they are willing to utilize their competencies, their know- ledge, their innovative strengths, and their understanding of the systems in joint projects and cooperation within the cluster to work together on the technologies, solutions and products of the future. In cooperation with our members and partners within the Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW, it is our goal to jointly seize our opportunities, bring together our competencies, utilise synergies, and accelerate innovation processes through a culture of trust and cooperation. This sourcebook provides an overview of the current members and partners of Cluster Electric Mobility South-West and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW as well as their international cooperation partners. It is in- tended to serve as a guide for finding potential (project) partners and as a medium to present and communicate the "concentrated competence" of the two cluster initiatives to the world of politics, business and science. Together, we share the vision of a sustainable, emission-free, smart, 9

The Baden-Württemberg automotive industry One out of ten jobs in Baden-Württemberg is linked to automobiles With its history of more than 130 years, the automotive in- dustry including manufacturers and suppliers has deep roots in Baden-Württemberg. Today, Baden-Württemberg is considered the world's leading centre of the automotive industry: the entire value chain of automotive production, related services and equipment suppliers from the mecha- nical and plant engineering sector operate in this location. In Baden- Württemberg, the automotive industry is one of the key industries with an annual turnover of just over 109 bil- lion euros (2019); vehicle manufacturing alone accounts for around ten percent of the state's gross value added. At the same time, the automotive sector is considered to be the most research-intensive industrial sector in Germany and in Baden-Württemberg; it accounts for almost half of the ex- penditures on research and development in the private sec- tor in Baden-Württemberg. Taking into account all direct and indirect jobs, just under 1 % of all employed workers are dependent on the automotive industry: almost 470,000 employees can be attributed to the automotive cluster. Thus, one can speak of a full-blown "automotive cluster" consisting of direct automotive manufacturing, suppliers, equipment suppliers from the manufacturing sector, and also car dealerships and mechanics that extend across the whole of Baden-Württemberg. With its network of well- established innovation and value chains in the automotive, energy, information and communication industries, as well as the mechanical and plant engineering industries and its excellent research and university landscape, Baden-Würt- temberg is in an outstanding position to play a leading role on a global scale as an innovation and production location in the fields of alternative drive technologies and digital mobil- ity solutions and services. Paradigm shift in times of transformation processes The vehicle and mobility industries are currently experienc- ing the most amount of pressure to change than they have felt in decades. A multitude of new technologies – from fuel cells to synthetic fuels or battery technologies – must be explored and industrialised anew. Digital connections and automation have changed user and mobility behaviours. And production and distribution processes are also chal- lenged by major disruptions: Mobility solutions that can be accessed easily replace large and fast private vehicles. New mobility concepts and related services that reduce fossil fuel consumption and at the same time allow an optimised individual route management with IT support should at best seamlessly blend into all aspects of people's lifestyles. Innovation through cooperation between private enterprise, science, and public sector It becomes increasingly clear that innovations arise espe- cially through cooperation between different industries. In the Baden-Württemberg region, the level of innovative pow er is high thanks to the successful cooperation and in- tegration of services from the automotive, mechanical engi- neering, IT and energy sector. Efficient cooperation between private enterprise, science and the public sector is key to drive innovation forward. Efficient research and tech- nology clusters are valuable catalysts in this process. With its cluster policy, the state government is therefore helping to sustainably improve the efficiency and performance of cluster initiatives. In recent years, the state government has provided 215 million euros in funding for three state initia- tives regarding electromobility in addition to many other projects. 215 million euros for three state initiatives on elec- tromobility and many other projects. Within the framework of the digital@bw digitisation strategy, 1 billion euros are 10

being invested. In order to jointly develop new environmen- tally friendly, economically viable and socially just mobility solutions, the state government launched the Strategic Dialogue for the Automotive Sector in Baden-Württem- berg in 2017. It provides a platform to discuss the necessary changes in development, production and sales, the energy system, digitalisation and data networks, transport solu- tions, forward-looking research, and social developments. Private enterprise, science, politics, trade unions, social groups and citizens are very much interested in engaging in the controversial discussions. Paving the way for mobility transition The goal for Baden-Württemberg is to continue its mobile success story with sustainable mobility solutions and to take the lead internationally in terms of production and ap- plication. Baden-Württemberg is on its way to turning the top land of the automobile into the top land of mobility. A key element in this context is the State Agency for New Mobility Solutions and Automotive e-mobil BW: It is the central contact point for all matters regarding new mobility solutions and supports this innovation process as a pioneer of the mobility transition within the state. Open to new technologies, e-mobil BW promotes the industrialisation, market launch and application of sustainable, climate- friendly and locally emission-free mobility solutions. In this regard, e-mobil BW sees itself as a knowledge manager, initiator and communicator, connecting companies, univer- sities, research institutions, ministries, and associations. Always keeping the entire automotive value chain in mind, e-mobil BW coordinates the two cluster initiatives Electro- mobility South-West and Fuel Cell BW, combines valuable competencies, and shapes important innovation processes. 11 © zapp2photo/AdobeStock

Cluster Electric Mobility South-West – Shaping sustainable and smart mobility With currently more than 170 members from industry and science, the Cluster Electromobility South-West, founded in 2007, is one of the largest research associations working on the mobility of the future. It covers the entire value chain of the mobility industry through cooperation between efficient automobile manufacturers, globally leading system suppliers, or numerous renowned medium-sized companies and excel- lent research institutions and universities. The Cluster Elec- tromobility South-West thus provides the basis for new inno- vation processes. Our vision The cluster members share a common vision of working on energy-efficient and environmentally compatible mobility so- lutions in an era of scarce resources. Innovative technologies and methods are used to lay the foundations for new, sustai- nable, and economical products and business models that secure and create a new basis for our regional value creation and employment throughout Baden-Württemberg. The sym- biotic collaboration of the members of the Cluster Electromo- bility South-West contributes to their global leadership in the area of sustainable and intelligent mobility solutions. The aim of the network is to advance the industrialisation of new mo- bility concepts in Germany and to establish Baden-Württem- berg as an integrated research, development, and production location with international appeal. Our strategy The strategic focus of the Cluster Electromobility South- West’s activities is on improving the innovative capacity of its members through cooperation in working and project groups. Among others, the following topics are being tackled: E-mo- tor production, the effects that digitalisation has on vehicles and the entire ecosystem, commercial vehicles as special applications, and the role of batteries in the circular economy, among other things. Cross-cutting issues in the areas of in- ternationalisation and qualification are also addressed. The cluster succeeds in bringing together companies from diffe- rent sectors with research institutions in a unique, long-term and extremely stable cooperation network, thus accelerating research and development in the field of new mobility solu- tions. Therefore, the cluster significantly contributes to the technological change towards low-emission and connected mobility, supported by an efficient market. The Cluster Elec- tromobility South-West also enjoys a high level of recognition beyond the state of Baden-Württemberg. Thus, the cluster networking activities and contacts with relevant players at the national and international level, especially in Europe but also in North America and Asia, play an important role. You can find an overview of our partners on the partners’ page in this sourcebook. The expansion of the Cluster’s international cooperation network and its members supports the develop- ment of relevant sales markets for attractive mobility solu- tions for the future. The cluster's services make it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, to find rele- vant international target markets and suitable cooperation partners abroad. Leading-edge cluster funding In 2012, the Cluster Elektromobilität Süd-West was nomina- ted as one of 15 Leading-Edge Clusters by the Federal Minis- try of Education and Research (BMBF), thus receiving fun- ding in the amount of 40 million euros over a period of five years. Within the framework of the Leading-Edge Cluster funding, 18 innovative projects were successfully carried out from within the cluster. In 2014, the Cluster Electromobility South-West was awarded with the Cluster Excellence Baden- Württemberg label and the European Cluster Management Excellence GOLD label for the first time. Since receiving the 12

The cluster is making a decisive contribution to the technological change towards low-pollution and connected mobility, supported by a powerful, by an efficient market. 175 cluster members (as of August 2021) initial awards, the cluster has successfully renewed its certifications in 2016 and 2019. Moreover, the cluster has been a member of Go-Cluster, a cluster excellence instrument of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, since 2014.

Cluster Fuel Cell BW – Bundled competence in Baden-Württemberg The Fuel Cell BW cluster is an association of many stake holders in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell tech- nology based in Baden-Württemberg. It is made up of companies, research institutions, universities, the pub- lic sector and associations, and it aims to accelerate market launch and market readiness of various hydro- gen technologies. The cluster was founded in 2013 in a shared effort of four state ministries and has been working towards the market launch of the various hydrogen technologies since that time. At the same time, it acts as an important driver for research institutions and ministries in the state of Baden-Württem- berg. The cluster now consists of over 190 organisations (as of mid-2021). Goals and working areas of the cluster It is the members’ common goal to achieve market readi- ness for hydrogen mobility and stationary fuel cell-based systems with marketable and customer-friendly serial pro- ducts. This shows that the cluster is not only pushing the topics of automotive, commercial vehicles and drive trains based on fuel cells, but also stationary applications such as fuel cell heating units, hydrogen-based emergency power genera- tors, the use of hydrogen in the processing industry and the hydrogen infrastructure, e. g. pipelines. In order to structure the numerous fields of application, from power-to-gas to transport or the security of energy supply, the work of the Fuel Cell BW cluster is divided into the fol- lowing working groups: - Hydrogen production and infrastructure Topics around electrolysis, hydrogen distribution and filling stations - Mobility Mobility-related topics such as commercial vehicles, trucks, ships - Stationary energy supply Energy supply issues where conventional technologies are not efficient or sustainable enough. - Industrial manufacturing Topics related to the production of components for all of the above technologies - Education, training, and continuous professional development Topics related to education, training, and continuous professional development in the field of fuel cells and hydrogen through in-house education programmes and at universities. - Aerospace Topics related to the application of the above-mentioned technologies in the aerospace sector - Manufacturing industry Topics related to the use of hydrogen, e. g. in cement production In addition, the cluster’s services include a number of cross- cutting themes that link the individual topics: internationali- sation, commercial vehicles, and circular economy. The cluster management The management of the Cluster Fuel Cell BW was taken over by e-mobil BW, the state agency for new mobility solu- tions and automotive, which includes professional network- ing and project and innovation management, among other things. 22

Partners and members of both cluster initiatives joint projects within the Cluster Electric Mobility South- West. Our partners are mainly intermediaries, associations, users as well as international and national clusters and net- works with whom we cooperate more closely. The partners are presented in the chapter "Other partners of the Clus- ter Electromobility South-West and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW" and in the chapter "International partners of the Cluster Electromobility South-West". This sourcebook does not claim to be complete. Inclusion with a profile page is voluntary. Furthermore, the number of members of both cluster initiatives is increasing continuous- ly. This sourcebook reflects the status as of 15 June 2020. This sourcebook is to provide an overview of the compe- tences found within the cluster initiatives Cluster Brenn- stoffzelle BW and Cluster Elektromobilität Süd-West. Espe- cially in times of structural change and new technological challenges, former boundaries drawn based on topic or industry must be overcome to make the best possible use of synergies. The fields of work of the two cluster initiatives are therefore growing together ever closer and various opportunities for cooperation are arising. This also reflects in that companies and research institutions actively participate in both cluster initiatives. The two cluster initiatives subtly differ in their respective structures. The Cluster Fuel Cell BW describes all its stakeholders as partners. It does not matter whether the respective organi- sation is a manufacturer of vehicles or components, a re- search institution, a user, or an association. Nevertheless, to be able to structure the fields of competence in this source- book, it is necessary to classify them. For a complete profile page, research and/or manufacturing activities or at least activities in prototype construction in Baden-Württemberg are a prerequisite. Pure users, associations, business devel- opment agencies, and non-researching or non-manufactur- ing companies find their place in the chapter "Other part- ners of the Cluster Electromobility South-West and the Cluster Fuel Cell BW". Membership in the Cluster Electromobility South-West is open to interested and committed players from industry and research who engage in research and development activi- ties in Baden- Württemberg. In this sourcebook, cluster members are presented with their own profile page. Fur- thermore, there is an option to participate as a partner in 34

Fields of competence Components Drivetrain System integration/system manufacturer Automobile chemical storage, Electrical storage, Stationary systems Service Software Testing Energy Development vehicle electrical system, inverter (electrical/ electrical), motor/generator, thermal management, gearbox, fuel cell system (chemical/electrical) Interior Equipment, electrics/electronics, thermal management Exterior electrics/electronics, chassis, vehicle body Due to the heterogeneity of the members/partners of both cluster initiatives, it is difficult to draw a uniform picture of their existing competences. Therefore, this sourcebook takes a higher-level approach (a macro perspective). The fields of competence are to show what all members share in a condensed form. The sourcebook targets a broad au- dience, so that not only experts but also representatives from politics and society can gain insights into the two clus- ter initiatives. The specific competences and unique selling points are presented in the respective profiles. The fields of competence were extracted by the cluster management and represent the major focus areas of the members' com- petences. This list cannot be considered conclusive due to the constantly growing network and evolving thematic fo- cus areas, so that further topics, e. g. from the area of IT and artificial intelligence, will be added in the future. This source book groups the shared competences of the mem- bers/partners of the two cluster initiatives in nine different fields of competence under three column headings (cf. Fig. Fields of competence). The competence fields of Automoti- ve and Stationary Systems can be found under the heading "System integration/system manufacturer". The heading “Components” includes the categories drivetrain, interior and exterior, and these are subdivided into several sub- categories. The heading "Service" includes the four compe- tence fields software, testing, energy, and development. The fields of competence that are shown on the respective profile pages were chosen by the members/partners them- selves. The headings are nevertheless shown on each profile page to ensure clarity. Search within the Competence Atlas The members/partners of the two cluster initiatives are sor- ted alphabetically so that you can search for stakeholders by their names in the table of contents. The organisations index can be used to generally search for research institu- tions/universities/universities of applied sciences, compa- nies, or intermediaries. If you are looking for specific com- petences within cluster initiatives, you can use the competence field index to find specific stakeholders based on their competence fields. 35

We create value from information Modern mobility is based on the digital services, marketplaces, and platforms behind it. Prof. Weinhardt's staff conduct research to improve the quality of electronic markets and platforms. In interdisciplinary research projects, we combine methods from the fields of economics, business administration, business informatics and psychology. For example, we investigate how stakeholders can be encouraged to collect mobility-relevant data and share it on data marketplaces. We also investigate the preferences of electric vehicle users with regard to smart charging and evaluate to what extent their behaviour is influenced by incentives (e. g. smart tariffs, use of local electricity, or emission reduction). Furthermore, we investigate whether behavioural changes of private and commercial users are necessary and how electric mobility can be adapted to their needs. Understanding this allows the efficient coordination of electromobility within the overall system of sustainable energy supply.

Energy-efficient mobility: safe, smart networks and alternative drives The Institute for Energy Efficient Mobility (IEEM) focuses on various topics for efficient, sustainable, and holistic mobility. The holistic concept is reflected by the institute’s focus on connected mobility systems within its R&D fields, which encompass more than only the vehicles. Such openings in systems generally bear the risk of cyber-attacks, which is why the IEEM is answering the questions about security in embedded and distributed systems. Regarding drive systems, IEEM focuses on the use of alternative fuels as renewable energy carriers and offers a unique climate and altitude simulation test stand for hand-held power tools. Using an IoT-based remote control – with the functions of a human hand – the test objects in the test stand can be remotely controlled in an automated manner. Efficiency also includes the development of assistance systems and smart driving functions, e. g. for vehicles and e-bikes. These topics are addressed by another research team at the institute. IEEM has its headquarters at the Bruchsal research campus and at the campus of Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences.

High pressure for hydrogen: Mehrer compres- sors are core elements in H2 projects Mehrer Compression GmbH is one of the world's leading manufacturers of oil-free reciprocating and diaphragm compressors. The Balingen-based company has set standards in gas and air compression for over 130 years and, with its fail-safe compressors, has been an important partner to the processing and process gas industries as well as to the energy and environmental sectors. Based on their modular design and with drive powers from 3 to 350 kW, the compressors can be integrated into a wide variety of plant systems. They can be used in the low-pressure ranges but also when very high discharge pressures are required, regardless of whether the gas is in a particularly dry or a moist state. This flexibility makes it possible to realise a wide range of different applications. In particular, Mehrer compressors play a key role in the utilisation of hydrogen: With up to 1,000 bar, they compress the hydrogen after electrolysis so that it can be stored and then processed further. Also in the field of H2 mobility and in research facilities, many renowned companies around the world rely on Mehrer's broad expertise in handling process gases.

Attractive laser welding solutions for e-mobility Laser goes e-mobile: With the global demand for electric motors, battery cells and power electronics in the automotive industry rising sharply, the need for innovative and efficient laser welding solutions is increasing too. Precitec offers turnkey solutions for durable welded joints through smart quality monitoring. The topic of laser welding in the automotive industry is more topical than ever. The advantages of the laser, such as the contactless and force-free processing from only one side with extremely high energy densities, are gaining new impor- tance with the topic of e-mobility. Its extremely high dynamics and maximum precision make the laser an efficient production tool. However, it is not only the speed of the welding process that makes the laser so successful. The laser’s economy is largely based on process monitoring and seam bead control, which are carried out directly during the welding process. A component is only deemed successfully welded when the quality of the laser welding has been checked and documented. These are our strengths – and make us a valued partner in the automotive industry. Precitec GmbH & Co.

Our visions: intelligent and emission-free mobility and accident-free driving The basis of our work is the research and development of modern methods of measurement and control technology as well as signal processing and (real-time) optimisation which are applied to issues in the fields of electromobility, automated driving and mechatronic systems. The practicability of our research is an important concern for us and is demonstrated, among other things, on our own test benches and test vehicles with testing licences, and in our pilot facility with a sensor technology infrastructure for connected driving. In addition to data-driven modelling and, based on this, the regulation and onboard diagnostics of batteries and fuel cells, higher-level, predictive operating strategies for electric vehicles are a research focus in the field of electromobility. This work is also increasingly connected with our research into automated driving, that uses classical methods as well as machine learning methods (Deep Learning/ KI). Focal points here include object recognition and environment modelling, multi-object tracking and understanding situations in the vehicle and in the infrastructure.

Artificial intelligence for better roads Artificial intelligence for long-term road maintenance. vialytics offers intelligent, systematic, and cost-efficient means for recording road conditions based on AI and thus plays a decisive role in the improvement and maintenance of the road infrastructure. At the heart of the data collection is a specially developed smartphone app. The target group is municipalities, in particular their civil engineering offices. In contrast to other road monitoring procedures that collect data at five-year intervals, vialytics collects the road status data several times a year and can so, for the first time, show realistic road condition change histories. The automatic evaluation of our data provides local authorities with objective data bases which can then be used to take action based on the current conditions of their roads. Because only through an early detection of damage can a sustainable and cost-efficient maintenance management be introduced. vialytics GmbH Silberburgstr. 187 70178 Stuttgart www.vialytics.de Employees: 19 Contact Jonas Hock Phone: +49 711 25295190 [email protected] Fields of competence Components Interior Equipment, electrics/electronics System integration/system manufacturer Automobile Service Software Testing Development 258 © vialytics GmbH
