CEVOLVER FINAL EVENT

On 27 September the CEVOLVER final event took place.

The CEVOLVER Consortium is very proud to have had a successful final event in September 2022.
The COO of the FEV Group welcomed all participants and Mr Daniel Scheen-Pauls from the North Rhine-Westphalia’s State Parliament made a key note speech.
Then the outcomes of the project were presented by different partners of the CEVOLVER project.

At the end of the day a panel discussion on Innovations for more efficient and safer transport contributing to the zero emission target was moderated by Margriet Van Schijndel-de Nooij – Eindhoven University of Technology with Simon Edwards – Ricardo Deutschland GmbH, Joost Vantomme – ERTICO-ITS Europe & Ian Faye – Bosch Group / delegate of EGVIAfor2Zero.

Participants were able to experience life demonstrations (a vehicle based on a North America Fiat 500e incl Compact Refrigerator Unit (CRU). Within CEVOLVER the vehicle architecture has been implement and the vehicle has been modified integrating the Vehicle Control Unit (dSpace), The OBD, the CRF tables and internal mobile router, the MobilEye camera and new communication layout.
Another vehicle was a New Fiat 500e High RANGE equipped with a high voltage 42 kWh Li-ion battery and an electrical machine by 87 kW and 220 Nm peak, Vehicle maximum speed is 150 km/h. It has been modified integrating the dSpace, the OBD, a CRF Tablet and Internet Mobile router and the new communication layout. Also some of the normal production control units have been upgraded both in terms of hardware and software to open the access to some digital signals and avoiding conflict on vehicle cybersecurity.
A ford light commercial vehicle for urban and inter urban use demonstrating operation of heated panels and HMI of Eco-charging and Eco-Driving.
