Objectives

• Improve the efficiency of electric Integrated Motor Drive (IMD) powertrains (WBG-based power electronics; 1200VDC; 150 kW per axel) forheavy-duty long-haul vehicles
• Improve efficiency and performance of power converters while increasing affordability of powertrains for heavy-duty EVs
• Reduce size and weihgt of power converters
• Digital technologies and sensors for advanced on-line monitoring and intelligent prediction of states based in advanced modelling and data analysis (Big Data, AI)
• Effective integration of the power electronics and TMS in a modular and compact IMD to evaluate the overall performance in a complete e-axel test bench
• Integration of ecodesign, material criticality and circularity considerations into the powertrain solution, as well as viable circular business models
• Promote collaborative research and interaction between academia and industry throughout  the entire supply chain

Our Role

• Project Management: Ensuring seamless coordination and execution of project activities to meet objectives and timelines.
• Create IoT Platform Architecture, scalable and robust, enabling real-time data collection and analysis.
• Develop Digital Twin of the powertrain components to simulate and optimize performance in virtual environments.
• Develop AI & Decision Support System for IMD control, performance optimization, and health monitoring.
