Volkswagen inicia en Chattanooga la operación del laboratorio de Ingeniería de baterías en América del Norte

PRESS RELEASE - Wed, 08 Jun 2022 16:51:23

— Por Enrique Kogan - Syndicate Auto News Wire —

SOURCE: NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE

MIAMI, FL — 8 de Junio de 2022 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Volkswagen of America (VWoA) inauguró hoy su Laboratorio de Ingeniería de Baterías (BEL) en Chattanooga, para probar y optimizar baterías para todos los vehículos eléctricos en el mercado estadounidense.

Mediante el desarrollo interno de experiencia crítica en baterías, la instalación de $22 millones y 32,000 pies cuadrados permitirá a Volkswagen obtener una ventaja competitiva en el impulso hacia la movilidad eléctrica.

Junto con la electrificación de la fábrica de $ 800 millones de dólares en Chattanooga, la apertura de BEL es el último paso en el compromiso de $ 7.1 mil millones de dólares de Volkswagen para impulsar su cartera de productos, I + D y capacidades de fabricación en la región de América del Norte.

El primer Volkswagen EV ensamblado en Estados Unidos, el SUV compacto ID.4, está listo para salir de la línea de ensamblaje en el 2022.

“Cuando comenzamos a realizar inversiones en electrificación, fue porque vimos un futuro para nuestra industria y la región de América del Norte en la que Volkswagen podría asumir una posición de liderazgo”, dijo Scott Keogh, presidente y director ejecutivo de Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

“El Laboratorio de Ingeniería de Baterías ayuda a hacer realidad esa visión hoy, acelerándonos décadas hacia el futuro con ingeniería avanzada de baterías para respaldar nuestro impulso de EV en expansión en América del Norte”.

El BEL es la primera instalación de este tipo para Volkswagen of America y una de las cuatro unidades ubicadas estratégicamente en el Grupo Volkswagen a nivel mundial, con una en Alemania (Braunschweig) y dos en China (Shanghai, Changchun).

Los ingenieros se centrarán inicialmente en baterías y paquetes de baterías para la plataforma de vehículos MEB de Volkswagen, con el potencial de incorporar varios tipos para todas las marcas de vehículos en todo el Grupo Volkswagen.

En el futuro, Volkswagen tiene como objetivo analizar las tecnologías de baterías emergentes y obtener una comprensión temprana de cómo los nuevos conceptos y prototipos pueden soportar las especificaciones rígidas de la compañía.

Estos conocimientos son conocimientos técnicos cruciales, ya que las tecnologías de baterías continúan mejorando en términos de densidad de energía, peso y costo, y dan forma a las características de un vehículo eléctrico.

El grupo de ingeniería local de Volkswagen of America en Chattanooga consta de más de 100 ingenieros dedicados en varios roles, desde chasis hasta rendimiento de conducción, interiores y tecnologías digitales.

Con el BEL, Volkswagen está agregando más puestos de trabajo altamente calificados. Trabajando en el sitio o de forma remota a través del acceso a la nube, un nuevo equipo de 30 ingenieros se centrará en varias pruebas climáticas, mecánicas, eléctricas y de corrosión de celdas y paquetes de baterías.

Pueden replicar todos los entornos climáticos del mundo y escalar entre entornos extremos mucho más allá de lo que un cliente típico sometería a un vehículo.

Esto es especialmente importante en países como los EE. UU., y más aún para el continente norteamericano, con sus variaciones climáticas, desde el frío ártico hasta el calor del desierto.

Construir el Laboratorio de Ingeniería de Baterías desde cero permitió a Volkswagen instalar equipos altamente especializados. Uno de ellos es la mesa vibradora multiaxial eléctrica (eMAST).

Esta máquina única permite realizar pruebas de vibración extrema para simular un año promedio de manejo (15 000 km o alrededor de 9 321 millas) en solo una semana.

Eso es el equivalente a conducir de Orlando a Seattle tres veces en siete días. Otras pruebas principales incluyen una cámara climática en la que se puede instalar un modelo SUV más grande y la capacidad de establecer rangos de temperatura entre -70° y 130° Celsius (-94° a 266° F) para reflejar cientos de posibles condiciones climáticas.

El BEL también está equipado con cámaras de choque térmico que exponen rápidamente los paquetes de baterías a ambientes cálidos y fríos cambiantes para forzar sus soldaduras y sujetadores, pruebas de durabilidad con polvo "Arizona" superfino certificado para agregar elementos abrasivos y probar el sellado de la batería. paquetes y tanques de inmersión en agua para simular escenarios de ingreso de agua.

El enfoque de BEL en la sostenibilidad va más allá de su trabajo y abarca la operación de la instalación. Cuando las baterías se descargan durante las pruebas, la energía producida se transferirá nuevamente al edificio y la red pública local y los materiales desechados se reciclarán.

Volkswagen ha invertido más de $800 millones de dólares para preparar su planta de Chattanooga para el ensamblaje local del SUV ID.4 en el 2022, incluidas instalaciones dedicadas para el ensamblaje de vehículos y paquetes de baterías.

Basado en la plataforma global de vehículos eléctricos MEB del Grupo Volkswagen, el ID. La línea de productos y sus paquetes de baterías siguen un enfoque modular estandarizado.

Desde 2019, Volkswagen ya ha transformado cuatro de sus fábricas globales para ensamblar estos paquetes de baterías específicos para MEB, con sitios en Alemania, República Checa y dos en China; Chattanooga es la quinta.

Volkswagen emplea a más de 4000 personas en su fábrica y tiene como objetivo contratar a 1000 nuevos miembros del equipo de producción hasta el 2022, para ayudar a satisfacer la demanda de los clientes del Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport y el próximo ID.4.

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
