Key EnablersICT solutions, smart components

and systems enable the full electric vehicle

• by providing aware, caring and robust means of power and

energy routing between accumulator cells, battery packs,

motors and the power grid

• by applying adaptive control and power electronic converters

to electric motors and wheels

• by actively enhancing the safety of road transport based on

batteries and lightweight vehicles, and

• by making the driver aware of the availability of energy and

power and of the resulting restrictions in terms of range and

comfort.

Consortium & Associate Partners

Objectives of the CA ICT4FEV• focus on enabling the full electric vehicle (FEV)

by opening new technology paths towards energy

efficiency, functionality and usability that are

complementary to advances in battery cell technology.

• edit a roadmap with milestones and time frames

• make recommendations for policies, regulations, and

standards

• embed the European R&D activities in the domain of

ICT for FEV in a the global context

• build an R&D community of all involved sectors, and

sustaining it as a European organization of think tank

for electric mobility

• support the PPP European Green Cars Initiative
