EUNICE Event “Driving the future of E-Mobility”
Driving the future of E-Mobility
18 November 2014 from 12:30 to 17:00
Autoworld Museum, Parc du Cinquantenaire 11, Brussels
On 18 November 2014, more than 160 representatives from the automotive industry, European institutions and other stakeholders attended in Brussels the CLEPA E-Mobility event showcasing the first results of the EUNICE project.
About EUNICE project
The promotion of Electric Vehicles is strategic for the European Community, but nowadays battery performance is still poor and all forecasts for near future transport electrification suggest that A-B class EV cars with limited range are the first step to develop.
The main objective of this project is the design, development and validation of a complete in wheel motor assembly prototype (electric motor, power electronics, reduction gear, structural parts and wheel), based on a McPherson corner suspension topology, to meet the defined car top level specifications. The main technical risks associated with the use of an in-wheel concept are the thermal stress under extreme operation conditions, vehicle dynamics, driveability, safety and durability.
EUNICE project runs from 1 September 2012 until 1 September 2015.
