Batteries are not yet the ideal energy container they were promised to be. They are expensive, fragile and potentially dangerous. Moreover the current EV cannot compete yet with traditional vehicles when it comes to driving range and flexibility. EVERLASTING intends...
A lifetime of 4000 cycles at 80 % DOD and an energy density of 250 Wh/kg is a target for automotive batteries. The Batteries2020 project takes several steps to increase lifetime and energy density of large format lithium ion batteries towards these goals. Our approach...
Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (EV, PHEV) have the potential to contribute significantly to solving contemporary and future environmental and economic challenges of mobility. Various projects in different EU member states are currently addressing the subject in...
Led by UITP and co-funded by the European Commission, the ZeEUS project aims at extending the fully-electric solution to a wider part of the urban bus network. To achieve its mission, ZeEUS is testing innovative electric bus technologies with different charging...
This project aims to develop a compact, efficient, highly integrated electro-mechanical powertrain, production optimized to deliver key cost reduction goals. The partners will focus on optimizing the integrated unit for an entry power level of a typical urban vehicle....
