At the heart of the sustainable mobility and energy ecosystems,
outstanding research serving industry
outstanding research serving industry
Innovation
-
Innovative solutions to address technological challenges and market needs
♦ Powertrain systems:
- Low-carbon fuels and eco-mobility (cars, trucks, urban transport, off-road, maritime and aviation)
- Mobile or stationary systems for energy production and storage and lost energy recovery - High-performance experimental resources and digital tools resulting in innovations with reduced costs and development times
- A proactive industrial protection policy
Technology transfer
- Support for industrial sectors, covering a very broad range of technological readiness levels (TRL 1 to 9)
-
Transfer of our R&D results via:
- joint product development with licensing out operations
