Abstracts:Martin Bellander - Energy transition in heavy vehicle sector and its consequences for the use of rubber materialsElectrification of the land transport sector has been on the agenda for development engineers since many years. Even if the market has shown a clearly decreased pace recently, the only way forward is believed to be electrification. The passenger car sector is some years ahead of the heavy vehicle sector and have gained some more experience during this time. But how is the use of rubber affected due to the transformation to electric vehicles? Will the need of rubber and rubber parts be lower when fuel systems and combustion chambers, including their cooling systems, are removed, and replaced by electric propulsion?
