Description du projet
Une formation spécialisée pour réduire les émissions des véhicules
Réduire les émissions et la pollution dans tous les aspects de la vie quotidienne figure parmi les priorités du programme de l’UE. Le transport routier respecte également des règlements stricts sur les émissions, ouvrant la voie avec des véhicules électriques (VE), des moteurs à combustion interne et des groupes motopropulseurs hybrides et écologiques. Toutefois, il est urgent de tester et de simuler plusieurs défis complexes liés aux performances. Le projet ECO DRIVE, financé par l’UE, formera une nouvelle génération d’experts pour relever les défis complexes liés au bruit de combustion, au son désagréable des moteurs électriques, au bruit, aux vibrations et secousses (NVH) induits par la transmission et aux vibrations de torsion de la transmission, entraînant de nouvelles conceptions dotées de performances et d’une efficacité écologique accrues. Le projet a neuf bénéficiaires issus de grandes institutions académiques, des principaux centres de recherche et des meilleurs producteurs automobiles d’Europe.
Objectif
With increasing regulatory pressures to reduce emissions, road transport has to play its part. Over the next 30 years, as we shift towards EVs, downsized IC engines and hybrids with eco-powertrains will be central to the automotive sector. ECO DRIVE will develop new technologies for the testing and simulation of eco-powertrains, addressing the complex challenges related to combustion noise, the irritating sound from electric motors, transmission-induced NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and driveline torsional vibrations, leading to new designs with improved eco-efficiency and NVH performance. The project offers a multi-disciplinary research-training program to the ESRs, with the ultimate aim being to create a new generation of NVH professionals for the transport sector. The technical-scientific challenges are tough: to investigate highly innovative simulation, testing and signal-processing methods for advanced NVH analysis and the engineering of downsized IC engines, e-motors, and novel lightweight transmission systems, to validate and demonstrate the applicability of the developed approaches in an industry context, on both powertrain tests rigs and new vehicles. ECO DRIVE has 9 Beneficiaries from leading academic institutions, top research centres and Europe’s premier vehicle producers. Together, they address the triple-I dimension of research training, being International, Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral. The ESRs profit from top scientific research guidance in combination with highly relevant industrial supervision through the secondment exchanges between the research organizations and the industry partners. The training programme is designed to cover not only eco-powertrains, but also critical transferable skills. The participating organisations gain from their involvement with top-level research; the ESRs receive outstanding Europe-wide training; and society benefits from a new group of young engineers trained in this exciting cross-disciplinary field.
