MULTI-MOBY H2020 PROJECT
Safe, secure, high performing, multi-passenger and multi-use affordable electric vehicles
MULTI-MOBY is an ambitious project aiming at quickly finalising the results of a cluster of European GV and FoF projects addressing the development of technology for safe, efficient and affordable urban electric vehicles. A fleet of multi-passenger and multi-purpose commercial vans will be manufactured assuring:
Best-in-class safety for occupants and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) protection as required by the M1/N1 regulations
Driving automation capabilities by adopting the most extensively tested sensing and computing platforms, with the addition of low-cost scanning and night vision functionalities
High efficiency 48V and 100V powertrains adopting the most advanced power semiconductor technologies, including Si, SiC and GaN
Robust battery packs based on hybrid cells with specific energy close to 200Wh/kg at pack level
On-board charger integrating a DCxxV-DC12V converter optimised for the two voltages of interest
A standardised low cost charging system able to operate DC charging at 48V and 100V
Advanced Electric Electronic (EE) architecture with secure procedures for remote updates and upgrades of the firmware and predictive maintenance, by applying advanced artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies
Application of low-cost, flexible, agile and lean manufacturing through a low-investment micro-factory concept
Competitive price positioning with respect to existing and forthcoming fully electric urban passenger and commercial vehicles.
