Sub INNPACTO 2010 of the National Public-Private Partnerships. Financed by the European Development Fund (ERDF).
The common goal of the project is the development, testing and integration on a platform of pure electric large bus, a set of technologies associated with this type of vehicle, such as the chassis and bodywork, electric powertrain, its management and storage, as well as aspects of their environmental impact and safety, to achieve an effective urban transport of people, energy efficient, environmentally friendly and accessible to all users.
To achieve this overall objective is necessary to solve problems in science and technology with highly innovative solutions to ensure a significant improvement to existing ones in terms of environmental impact, powertrain, electrical storage and security of such vehicles.
The work has been divided into different activities:
Activity 1. Determination of pure electric bus specifications.
Activity 2. Environmental impact analysis
Activity 3. Developing new concepts of racks and chassis.
Activity 4. Electric drive and energy management.
Activity 5. Safety issues associated with the electric bus.
Activity 6. Development and integration of the demonstrator prototype.
Activity 7. Pilot testing and vehicle systems.
Activity 8. Technical and economic coordination of the project.
The project is led by the bus manufacturer CASTROSUA and participate INSIA and vehicle engineering company AVIA.
