Innovate
Innovative solutions for the decarbonization and digitalization of mobility, such as:
- electric machines for a broad power range and highly efficient control electronics and associated supervision systems,
- electrochemical energy storage and production systems (batteries and fuel cells) and optimal vehicle energy management,
- hydrogen and low-carbon propulsion (gas, biogas): optimized IC engine and associated pollution control system,
- web services dedicated to energy, economic and environmental analyses of private and public transport,
- tools for the design engineering of propulsion systems in order to improve their energy efficiency and limit their environmental impact.
Collaborate
- Close ties with industry: from start-ups, micro-companies, SMEs and intermediate-sized companies through to major French and international industrial groups.
- A strong commitment within competitiveness clusters (NextMove, CARA, etc.)
- Synergy with networks of academic partners and R&D laboratories with an international influence.
- Active participation in European bodies representing research and industry (EARPA, ERTRAC, EGVIAfor2ZERO, POLIS, CCAM, BEPA).
Technology transfer
Support for industrial sectors, covering a very broad range of technological readiness levels (TRL 2 to 9)
Transfer of our R&D results via:
- joint product development with licensing out operations,
- strategic partnerships,
- collaborative research contracts.
