Optimised energy management and use (OPTEMUS) represents an opportunity for overcoming one of the biggest barriers towards large scale adoption of electric and plug-in hybrid cars: range limitation due to limited storage capacity of electric batteries. The OPTEMUS...
High efficient energy conversion concept based on the integration of energy recovery devices, energy storage and engine auxiliaries’ electrification on a Natural Gas heavy duty engine. The energy recovery strategy is based on two mainstreams: recovery of a portion of...
Fully Electrical Vehicles pose new challenges to the engineering of the electrical and embedded systems. Systems will have more authority, share common resources, and rely less on mechanical backups. Complex power management and optimization algorithms are needed. To...
The UNPLUGGED project aims to investigate how the use of inductive charging of Electric Vehicles (EV) in urban environments improves the convenience and sustainability of car-based mobility. In particular, it will be investigated how smart inductive charging...
Sustainable mobility is one of the grand societal challenges and thus a key topic for the automotive industry, which believes in the on-going demand for individual mobility. In order to meet increasingly strict emission targets and growing traffic in urban areas,...
