Thesis worker - Circularity Assessment of Battery Packs Introduction Thesis work is an excellent way to get closer to Scania and Traton and build relationships for the future. Many of today's employees began their Traton career with their degree project. Background Circularity assessment of design alternatives can help to make better circularity decisions and choose an alternative that gives the best value with the least environmental impact. Objectives The thesis will require the assessment of early-stage battery pack concepts using existing circularity evaluation methodology. The design decisions taken will be documented and evaluated based on the priorities of the project, and this will be analyzed in relation to how market or project requirements can affect circularity decisions. Are there any overlaps, and are there any synergies that can be harnessed? After assessment, gaps in data needed for circularity decisions will be documented. Finally, suggestions will be made on improving battery pack design and updates to methodology. Qualifications • Master’s student in production engineering, sustainability engineering, industrial ecology, mechanical engineering, or a related field • Meriting (not required): • Knowledge in circular economy principles, Ecodesign or life cycle assessment (LCA) • Basic understanding of battery systems, such as pack architecture, cell types, and end-of-life routes (an advantage) Education/program/focus Studies: Master’s student in production engineering, sustainability engineering, industrial ecology, mechanical engineering, or a related field Number of students: 1 Start date: Jan 18th Estimated time required: Until 20 June Contact persons and supervisors Niharika Dayaneni, Battery & Charging, niharika.dayaneni@scania.com Michael Lieder, Sustainability Analysis Application: Your application must include a CV, a personal letter, and a transcript of grades.
