Yesterday our new battery lab was opened on the Bosch Collaboration Campus in Holzkirchen. The opening was performed by Bavarian State Minister Dr. Florian Herrmann, MdL and VÆRIDION CTO Dr. Sebastian Seemann. We were grateful to host many of our valued partners and supporters comprising politics, shareholders, industry, academia, as well as our brilliant team. VÆRIDION considers the strong and cohesive ecosystem one of the key factors to the rapid advancements in our battery development so far. “We plan to write aviation history in Munich: Building safe-to-fly and safe-to-handle batteries for commercial passenger aircraft. The propulsion battery modules are the heart of our aircraft, combining the highest cell-to-pack ratio, designed for Certification requirements. We integrate over 100 modules in the wing, where they belong, to counteract the lift force and free all cabin space. In the Bosch Collaboration Campus we have found the ideal facility and supportive spirit to achieve our next goals. ” says Dr. Sebastian Seemann “Bavaria is proud of its vibrant start-up scene, which benefits from the excellent ecosystem of science, research and technology-passionate policies. VÆRIDION shows what is possible when innovative energy meets engineering-craft. Sustainable eMobility is a future topic with a global market - the development of a battery-powered microliner is therefore a brilliant idea! We are delighted that the battery laboratory is an important milestone on the way to electric flight. All the best and continued success to the great team, which impresses with its pioneering spirit and drive!" State Minister Dr. Florian Herrmann, MdL Bosch Engineering GmbH ITK Engineering Jens Hofmann Christoph Schmid

Zou jij in dit vliegtuigje stappen? 🛩 🇩🇪 Over vijf jaar moet het dan eindelijk mogelijk zijn: een vlucht met een elektrische vliegtuig die tot 400 kilometer kan vliegen. Het Nederlandse bedrijf VÆRIDION wil dit mogelijk maken. In het Duitse München wordt daarom morgen de eerste productielocatie geopend waar de vliegtuigjes worden gemaakt. 🛫 Onze correspondent Derk Marseille bracht tijdens zijn rondreis door Duitsland een bezoekje aan het hoofdkantoor waar hij sprak met Ivor van Dartel, ceo van Vaeridion. 'We hebben aangetoond dat dit technisch mogelijk is', zegt de ceo. Vaeridion wil gaan vliegen vanaf 2027. De eerste passagiers zouden dan vanaf 2029 tot 2030 meekunnen. ✈ De grote uitdaging is niet het ontwerp van het vliegtuig op zich, stelt de ceo. 'Dat is heel klassiek, dus niet zo spannend. Maar wel de aandrijftechniek die erin zit. Die is helemaal nieuw en ontwikkelen we zelf, die moeten we ook zelf bouwen.' Meer hierover lees en hoor je in het artikel in de reacties! ⬇ ------- Derk Dwars door Duitsland wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Enterprise Car Sharing & Rental

Last week the #Folkemødet democracy festival took place on the Danish Island of Bornholm, encouraging dialogue and cooperation between citizens, businesses, NGO's, IGO's, and politicians. As one of the leading companies to electrify domestic flights in Denmark, VÆRIDION was invited by SAS - Scandinavian Airlines to exchange about the pathways to a more sustainable aviation in Denmark, together with our partners from Copenhagen AirTaxi® A/S and Copenhagen Helicopter. Our CTO Dr. Sebastian Seemann was discussing the most promising solutions and energy sources on a panel with Jean Delbecq from Airbus, Søren Schmidt Thomsen from Triangle Energy Alliance (TEA), Finn Schousboe from Crossbridge moderated by Martin Breum. While different approaches are required to cover aviation as a whole, there was agreement among the panellists that: “whatever can be electrified, should be electrified”.   The Folkemodet, the Danish people meeting, is a great example of the value of bringing people together to talk to and understand each other. Sustainable regional aviation can play a key role to connect decentralized and remote regions with each other. Bornholm - Roskilde will be one of the first routes where our Microliner will enter service.
