ElectromobilitéConception d'une voiture électrique à 5.000 euros à l'Université technique d'Aix-la-Chapelle Une équipe constituée de PME, designers, développeurs et constructeurs travaille sous la conduite d'Achim Kampker de l'Université technique d'Aix-la-Chapelle (RWTH, Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie) à la conception particulièrement innovante d'un véhicule automobile électrique.
"Notre but est d'éclairer une nouvelle facette de l'électromobilité qui n'a jusqu'à présent guère été prise en considération", explique Achim Kampker, à la tête de la chaire de management de production au laboratoire des machines-outils (WZL). "En effet, nous intégrons d'une part de manière ciblée des entreprises de taille moyenne et nous les qualifions pour des étapes hautement complexes de développement et production à travers leur collaboration au sein du consortium. Disposant de deux airbags frontaux, des systèmes ABS et ESP, le StreetScooter respecte les standards de sécurité et de confort. Ford, Google Partner To Boost Car Efficiency. Using the Google Prediction API and cloud services, Ford could optimize the performance of its hybrid electric vehicles.
Google could help your car operate more efficiently if experiments by Ford researchers come to fruition. Ford and Google spoke about the work they have been doing together in a presentation at the Google I/O conference Tuesday. Ford is experimenting with using the Google Prediction API to apply predictive analytics to maximizing the efficiency of a vehicle--particularly a hybrid or electric vehicle designed to wring the most performance out of the least investment of gas or electric power.
"We're really talking about making your car behave better with some knowledge of how it was used in the past," Ryan McGee, an architecture and algorithm supervisor at Ford who works closely with the hybrid and electric vehicle programs, said in an interview. Ford is not making a product announcement, but has proven the concept with some of its prototype vehicles, he said.
- (9128) Report shows how future electric vehicles can make money from the power grid - Ricardo. In a landmark research report published today by Ricardo and National Grid, the market potential is demonstrated for an electric plug-in vehicle fleet of the future to provide balancing services to the power grid on a commercial basis, returning value to vehicle owners while improving the carbon efficiency of grid operation.
The report - Bucks for balancing: can plug-in vehicles of the future extract cash – and carbon – from the power grid? – is based on a research collaboration between a team of engineers from Ricardo and National Grid, the operator of the high voltage electricity transmission system within Great Britain (GB). Key findings of the research include: • Using demand side management alone, the projected fleet of plug-in electric vehicles in 2020 would be able to provide an average of 6 percent of daily GB network balancing service requirements.
This rises to a maximum of 10 percent in the evening and overnight. Ricardo chief technology and innovation officer Prof. Ends.
