eV
Transport and robotic Platform Science for a changing planet

Our platform aims to develop new systems for innovative electrified vehicles and then contribute to a cleaner and fuel-efficient mobility. The specificity of the eV platform is that we can study each sub-system at the system level by putting it in interaction with the other sub-systems of the studied vehicle. This system approach is possible due to the systematization of the "HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) testing" approach combining virtual and real subsystems, as well as two formalisms - EMR (Energetic Macroscopic Representation - to represent and organize models and control) and VGF (Vectorial Generalized Formalism - to decompose a complex system into simpler interconnected subsystems). We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.
