For decades, scientists have theorized that beyond the edge of the Solar System, at a distance of up to 50,000 AU (0.79 ly) from the Sun, there lies a massive cloud of icy planetesimals known as the Oort Cloud. Named in honor of Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, this cloud is believed to be where long-term comets originate from.

The battery is the “heart of an electric car" and is also its heaviest and most expensive component. Its lifespan and reliability depend not only on the design or type of cells themselves, but also on the type of housing. It can be made of various materials – not just metal anymore, but also innovative ultralight plastics.

HOW IS A BATTERY IN AN ELECTRIC CAR BUILT?

The SSI SCHAEFER Group, a German family-owned company established more than 85 years ago and a leading international solution provider for all segments of the intralogistics industry, reported an increase in revenues to EUR 1.87 billion (+3.2%) for the financial year 2023, according to preliminary figures. The Group benefited from major project acceptances in the Logistics Solutions and Customer Services business units, which offset the decline in Products & Equipment revenue.
