Manufacturing & Production · Production & Assembly · Manufacturing Engineering

In short

MSc thesis project focusing on a techno-economic assessment of future Na-ion NVPF and NFPP battery technologies for electric trucks. The project involves identifying developments, deriving cell and pack concepts, assessing battery degradation, and estimating production costs at a large scale.

Responsibilities

Conduct a techno-economic assessment of future Na-ion NVPF and NFPP battery technology for electric trucks.
Identify and assess expected developments in NVPF and NFPP relevant for future electric trucks, based on scientific literature and publicly available data.
Derive representative future NVPF and NFPP cell concepts and matching battery pack concepts.
Assess battery degradation during representative electric truck operation using a simplified semi-empirical aging model.
Estimate the costs for raw-material, cell-production and pack-production at multiple-GWh/year scale.

Requirements

M.Sc. studies in (Electro)chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, or energy engineering.
Relevant courses on battery technology.
Skilled supervision and a license for ChatGPT Enterprise will be available.
Two office-days per week.
The position is for one student.

Desired Qualifications

Previous work on battery degradation and/or cost is a bonus.

Benefits

Payment before taxes: 20'000 SEK at the start, 20'000 SEK after the final report was approved by Scania.
Travel expenses: 1 to 2 roundtrips between study location and Södertälje.
Students from outside Stockholm County can rent a subsidized Scania apartment in Södertälje.
Hybrid work environment.
