On February 14th and 15th 2023 the Think Tank for the “Decarbonized Factory for Future Mobile Interior” started in Aachen. New vehicle interiors are developed on a platform concept across all sectors by using newest 3D Printing technologies: from ships to road and rail vehicles to aircraft, interiors are being rethought in a new sustainable way.
In addition to the interior, the focus is as well on the factory as a building for the production of these new products. It is seen as a blueprint for further "Decarb Factories", in which in the future not only the building will be operated more emission-free according to a standardizable guideline, but also a CO2-neutral production of further products will take place, such as medical products and food.
The aim is to develop and establish the first "Decarb Factory" in North Rhine-Westphalia, Western Germany. The Mönchengladbach airfield has been selected as the location.
Well-known companies such as Boeing, Siemens, BMW, Bosch, Toyota, Thales, Meyer Werft or the Aachen-based rail-company Talbot including several research institutes came together in Aachen to conceptualize the "Decarb Factory" according to a "cross-industry" approach.
The project is led by the German Emirati Institute and supported by the UAE and state government of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
