The Eurecat technology centre is contributing new technologies to six European consortia with a total budget of over €43 million to drive the transformation of urban mobility and logistics towards more circular, sustainable and digital models with the goal of advancing Europe’s green transition and achieving the climate neutrality target set by the European [...]
With the support of the Eurecat technology centre, ControlCat has embedded advanced artificial intelligence processes into a new software platform called IdenTools which allows real-time traffic characterisation, pattern detection, mobility flow prediction and generating smart alerts which can be implemented to optimise public safety and urban efficiency. This technological solution has also led to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has developed a new automated system for dismantling and sorting electric vehicle battery components using collaborative robotics and artificial intelligence systems to simplify recycling at the end of their useful life with a view to cutting processing costs and times, ensuring worker safety and achieving utmost efficiency and sustainability. The [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Shift2Zero project which is investing its over €12 million budget to develop innovative new designs and functionalities for commercial e-vehicles to meet urban logistics needs, cut emissions and improve operational efficiency. The project brings together leading players from across the logistics and automotive value chain “to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European FlexCrash project which has developed an online platform for simulating mixed traffic scenarios with autonomous and human-driven vehicles in real time to help identify critical situations and improve road safety. The FlexCrash platform enables interaction between human drivers and autonomous vehicles in realistic simulations and provides [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) are taking part in The Battery Show Europe with the joint battery research unit BATTECH which is presenting its new European technological research and innovation projects in this field. They involve investigating new materials for next generation cells and embedding them in [...]
Catalonia has hosted the pilot trials of the European Selfy project, coordinated by the Eurecat technology centre, demonstrating the effectiveness of new self-assessment and self-protection tools designed to boost the resilience and cybersecurity of autonomous and connected vehicles in smart cities. The demonstrations, also repeated in Vienna, Austria, identified more than 95% of vulnerable [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Marbel project which has developed a new electric vehicle battery concept based on the principles of modularity and the potential for large-scale recyclability with a view to lessening environmental impact and unlocking the circular economy in the automotive industry. In Catalonia, alongside Eurecat the project has [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has patented new one hundred percent natural origin vitrimeric matrices for composite materials which can be recovered for reuse in the industry value chain in the automotive, construction and capital goods sectors. Eurecat has presented at the JEC World fair in Paris new composites made with this matrix which have [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is leading the European Selfy project, funded with a €6 million budget, in which it has developed two self-assessment and self-protection tools to enhance the resilience and cybersecurity of connected and automated vehicles in smart cities. This is at a time when around 50 million connected and automated cars are [...]
