The growing up diffusion of the electrically propelled vehicles brings the problem of the establishment of an appropriate infrastructure network and of adequate technical assistance support for their maintenance and repair, over their cycle life. A specific professional formation is a requisite for all people acting in these new technology field. The Project TECMEHV, initiated in October 2011, in...
The reduction of greenhouse gas global emissions, the increasing cost of carbon-based fuels, expected demand growth in the upcoming years, highlight the need of efficient and environmentally sustainable vehicular technologies that do not generate CO2 emissions. Within this context, the Electric Vehicle constitutes the most promising alternative to conventional automobiles. However, one of the main...
The deployment of Electrical Vehicles (EV) is not taking place at the expected rate. Consumers' tendency to value losses higher than gains works against electric vehicles when comparing them to traditional solutions. In this context, added value services may support business models with additional incomes, business differentiation or appealing mobility concepts. In the frame of the Green eMotion FP7...
iSHARE is an Electric Vehicle (EV) designed and implemented by IDIADA Automotive Technology, based in functionalities assessment, stakeholders requirements and state-of-the-art technologies. With the complete integration of ICT technologies, the iSHARE concept vehicle enables cutting-edge fleet management services and friendly user interaction through an open, comprehensive and reliable interface...
Alfons Westgeest and Lois Brett will present on the mutual activities of EUROBAT — the Association of European Automotive and Industrial Battery Manufacturers — and the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) to improve the standardization framework for safety and performance testing for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries. EUROBAT and the JRC began formal cooperation...
In intelligent transport systems, connectivity of vehicle is the main feature for improving services to the driver and passengers. In Electric Vehicle domain, permanent connectivity is paramount in order to compensate both the limited range and to achieve an effective grid inclusion enabling the availability of electric energy everywhere anytime. The objective of this paper is to present the risk...
This paper analyses what post 2020 targets may be necessary for the European CO2 legislation for passenger cars in order to reach the overall sectoral goal of 60% reduction of transport's greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 relative to 1990, as defined in the European Commission's White Paper. The required target levels are found to depend strongly on the contribution that passenger cars need to make...
This paper represents the latest results of the FP7 European Project SuperLIB: Advanced Dual-Cell Battery Concept for Battery Electric Vehicles. The electrical characteristics of the proposed hybrid topology based on high power and high-energy cells are presented. In the framework of project, dedicated research work has been carried out in the field of characterization and modeling. From these characterization...
This paper will present the current evolution in the field of charging infrastructure standardization, highlighting the main development areas of safety, compatibility and performance, also giving special interest to ongoing European developments in the field as well as to the residential charging field.
With NLG6, BRUSA enters a new dimension of charging! BRUSA Elektronik AG is the first company to produce a battery charger for electric vehicles that is capable of operating on a three-phase current with a power of up to 22 kW. Thereby, the fast charger will be able to fully charge a typical electric car in less than one hour, this is six time faster than the former technology (one-phase with 3.3...
The massive implementation of Electric Vehicles in Europe needs support from ICT systems. Technological trends, best practices, standards and regulations have to be taken into account. e-DASH faces the challenge of development ICT tools focused on balancing energy in the grid, which also means making feasible smart charging/discharging processes of EVs. E-DASH is composed by role based intelligent...
The main goal of this survey [1] is to forecast the worldwide Hybrid Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in (PHEV) & Electric Vehicle (EV) market and its impact on the Battery Business (Lead acid, NiMH and Lithium ion batteries). In 8 years, from 2004 to 2012, the Hybrid Vehicle market increased from 165 000 to more than 1.5 million vehicles sold and stop/start car sales achieved 9 Million in 2012 [2]. With the...
The project CROME — cross-border mobility for electric vehicles — is the first European field demonstration introducing a standardised and interoperable cross-border charging infrastructure network in the French-German Upper Rhine region. The main aim of the project, funded by different Ministries on both sides of the border, is to create and test a safe, seamless, user-friendly and reliable mobility...
Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are now available in many North American and European markets, with more models expected to become available to consumers in the coming years. These vehicles will present utilities with opportunities as well as challenges as their numbers potentially grow to hundreds of thousands of vehicles connected to the electric grid for charging. In order to support PEV adoption...
In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of vehicles on roads worldwide. According to more and more studies this growing number of cars will have a significant impact on urban air quality and will also create higher oil dependency for the majority of western countries. Many countries all over the world have already implemented incentives to promote the adoption of electric...
EUROLIS is a European project started in October 2012 aimed at sustainable and advanced lithium sulphur (Li-S) batteries for automotive use with highly improved energy densities compared to today's Li-ion (LiB) technology. The combination of the promises of a Li-S battery based energy storage and the inexpensive and abundant materials used in the concept makes this research strategically valuable...
In recent years, the usage of various alternative energies is considered from a viewpoint of CO2 emission reduction. Toyota Motor Corporation considers that Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) is the best practical solution, and has launched Prius Plug-in Hybrid in January 2012. Prior to this, in December 2009, Toyota sold 650 PHEVs through lease programs for validation testing in Europe, the...
