Reducing the environmental impacts of mobility is crucial to combating climate change, air pollution and preserving natural resources. The electrification of vehicles is one of the major levers, from full electric to hybrid vehicles. Technology providers within Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes are highly committed in that direction and offer high-value collaborative innovations able to match environmental, industrial, economic and societal needs. Learn about outstanding projects covering batteries, energy management, power electronics, hydrogen, retrofit, efuels and biofuels.

H2 BOOST :
12m electric bus with hydrogen fuel cell and optimised TCO by: optimising the thermal management of the hydrogen bus by exploiting the heat emitted by the hydrogen fuel cell to reduce hydrogen consumption; and optimising the size of the battery by using powerful batteries.
Project leader :
High efficiency Synchronous-Reluctance Motor for Light e-Mobility (HeSy Mobility) :
High-efficiency reluctance synchronous motor for light electric mobility. Development and industrialisation of a new range of eco-designed, high-energy-performance, early-stage motors combining materials sourced domestically and waste-reducing manufacturing methods.
Project leader :
Partner :
Neotrucks :
The design and manufacture of off-road industrial vehicles that are not road-legal, by re-using roadworthy industrial vehicles that have already had an initial life (4 to 5 years maximum), transforming them and adapting them for a new use on private sites only.
