FEV and ProLogium develop high-performance vehicle battery
Aachen – Customer requirements for the evolution of electric cars are clearly defined: reduced weight at increased efficiency, higher range at shorter charging times and maximum safety. FEV, Germany's innovation powerhouse for the automotive and energy industry, and ProLogium, global pioneer in developing advanced vehicle batteries, fulfill precisely these requirements with their new product.
All this is made possible by LLCB technology (Large-Footprint Lithium Ceramic Battery). With its anode of 100 per cent silicon this battery offers a 10-times higher capacity density compared to graphite anodes used today. Depending on the vehicle segment and intended use, the LLCB saves up to 300 kg or allows a maximum range of 1,000 km. The applied solid-state electrolyte is non-flammable and increases safety against thermal runaway. It also prevents potential short circuits caused by leaking electrolyte fluid in the event of a spill.
“For the LLCB solution, we have successfully combined ProLogium´s know-how in the field of cell development with our development, system and testing expertise,” said Dr. Thomas Hülshorst, Global Vice President Electric Powertrain at FEV. “Our collaboration on battery packs and concept designs focuses not only on regulatory standards, but also on market requirements. We even exceed these.”
The anode also enables ultra-fast charging, charging the battery from five to 60 per cent within five minutes. This allows the user an average range of 300 km. After further three minutes, the battery is charged to 80 per cent and can cover additional 100 km. In this way, the LLCB helps to bring charging times closer to the duration of a refueling process for vehicles with combustion engines.
At the Paris Motor Show 2024, FEV and ProLogium announced to continue their joint efforts for LLCB development in the future.

Valle Venia presents Sandgrain in Space LPS feat. Lara5.12.2025 10:15:00 CET | Press Release
A Cosmic Song on Self Creation, Inner Rebirth, and the Quiet Power of Becoming Sandgrain in Space also gestures toward a vision of a “silent divine world,” a realm of clarity and heightened perception that emerges when inner turbulence dissolves. The silence referenced in the song is not emptiness but equilibrium, a moment of stillness in which the self hears itself without distortion. The song invites listeners to imagine this future world, one where illumination begins internally and radiates outward, influencing consciousness on a collective scale. This dimension gives the single an emotional resonance that extends beyond its space-driven imagery, grounding it in universal human longing for clarity, renewal, and transcendence. Musically, the single blends airy ambient textures with understated melodic movements that echo the vastness of its thematic concerns. The production opens with floating tonal fragments reminiscent of drifting light particles before expanding into luminous, sl

The German advertising market is facing another year of stagnation in 20263.12.2025 12:42:00 CET | Press Release
The JOM Group’s latest advertising market forecast shows that the continuing economic uncertainty means that companies only have limited growth potential for increasing advertising investments. Hamburg, 2 December 2025 – The German advertising market is expected to close 2025 with a slight decline and will not achieve much growth in 2026 either. As stated by the JOM Group in its new forecast, the market turned out to be significantly less robust in the current year than was predicted at the end of 2024. Alongside the repeated downward revisions to expectations for overall economic growth and the consumer climate, advertising companies were noticeably less willing to invest. Issues such as customs policies and the crisis in the automotive industry once again illustrate how sensitive the market is in reacting to external disrupting factors. The JOM Group anticipates continued uncertainty from companies with regards to economic recovery and rising private consumer spending for 2026. Again
