推动电气化的未来：全球领导者的洞见

Powering the futureof electrification: Editor’s note The electrification industry stands at a defining moment. As globaldemand for electric vehicles, renewable technologies and efficientpower systems accelerates, so too does the need for innovation, This special CWIEME Berlin report brings togetherexpert perspectives on some of the most pressing to one shared objective: building a more sustainable,competitive and future-ready industry. CWIEME Berlin has always been more than a tradeshow — it is a global platform for exchangingknowledge, showcasing cutting-edge technologiesand connecting decision-makers across the electrical From the European Union’s evolving trade policiesand tariffs on Chinese EVs, to groundbreakinglightweighting tecniques in rotor and stator design, tothe transformative potential of the circular economy,each article highlights how businesses must adapt Contents 1.

Here, Saqib Saeed, Chief Product EV imports While European companies have historicallymaintained dominance in this space, there is growingconcern that China could leverage its advanced cent by 2031. Additionally, importers are requiredto thoroughly document and verify the recycling This regulatory effort intends to reduceenvironmental impact by mandating transparency Meanwhile, the United States is preparing tointensify this global contest by implementing exportrestrictions targeting up to 200 Chinese companies. Moreover, a“battery passport”system will alsocome into effect, obliging manufacturers to disclosethe carbon footprint and supply chain details of each For companies involved in the EV and battery sectors,these requirements signal an urgent need to ensure Battery requirements Another significant regulatory shift pertains to theEuropean Union’s focus on battery sustainability and From tariffs to transparency Under this regulation, all EV batteries sold in theEU must contain a specified proportion of recycledmaterials, including critical components like lithium, Tariffs, such as those on the aforementioned ChineseEV components, could impact cost structures andprofit margins, particularly for companies heavilyreliant on imports from Asia. This is at a time when The aim is to ensure that valuable materials areefficiently recovered at the end of a battery’s life Regarding the EU’s battery recycling and passport,a key requirement mandates the documenting of Stricter targets for recycling and material recoverywill be adopted over time, with a goal of recovering This will be especially challenging for companiesoperating across multiple continents, as differing Beyond EV components, companies producingtransformers and electric motors are also subject to With each revision, the directive’s efficiencyrequirements grow more stringent, pushing In some regions, the industry is resistant to thesestandards due to supply chain limitations and This resistance is particularly evident in the U.S.,where there has been pushback against stricter For companies in Europe, however, adherence tothese regulations is crucial because the risk of Staying informed and compliant For more highlights from the 2025 eventor to register your interest for 2026, visit theCWIEME Berlin website.
