About the Speaker:

Dr.- Ing. Bassem HICHRI

Head of R&D Projects and Project Director
Carraro Lux-Tech R&D Centre in Luxembourg

Dr. Hichri holds a mechatronics engineer diploma and a PhD in Multi-Mobile Robotic Systems. He started his career in Automotive industry as test solution engineer and then he worked in academia as research scientist in topics related to industrial and mobile robots for stable manipulation and transport. He has an extensive experience in National and European projects proposals writing and funding acquiring for research projects in collaboration with industries. He occupied several positions in teaching robotics topics, and he contributed to supervising PhD researchers at the University of Luxembourg. A few years ago, he moved back to work in the industry as a senior project manager for R&D projects in collaboration with universities.
Actually, he is managing the R&D activities of the new research centre of Carraro Group in Luxembourg to develop commercial electrified drivetrains for OEMs of Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles (MHDV) which contributes to the European challenges of reducing CO2 emissions and environmental challenges by providing solutions (mainly E-transmission and E-transaxles for Construction Equipment/vehicles and fully electrified tractors) based on the use of E-machines instead of Internal combustion engines for traction.
