MARBEL - Protecting electrified vehicles against cyber attacks

Developing an innovative battery system and thus helping to shape the mobility of tomorrow - this is the task that researchers at THI are tackling together with 16 partners in the EU research project "MARBEL" (Manufacturing and Assembly of Modular and Reusable EV Battery for Environment-Friendly and Lightweight Mobility). The project aims to develop an innovative and environmentally friendly lightweight battery system with increased energy density and shorter charging time. A special focus is on protecting the battery systems of the future from attacks by hackers. The research group led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Hof, is contributing to the definition of the system's IT security requirements and the development of the battery management system's connection to a cloud, with a focus on cyber security.  Professor Hof: "Battery systems of the future represent an attractive target for hackers. In MARBLE, my research group is developing protection methods against attacks in future mobility scenarios."
