Descrizione del progetto
Formazione di esperti per la riduzione delle emissioni dei veicoli
La riduzione delle emissioni e dell’inquinamento in tutti gli aspetti della vita quotidiana è una delle principali priorità dell’UE. Anche il trasporto su strada è conforme alle severe normative sulle emissioni, aprendo la strada ai veicoli elettrici, ai motori a combustione interna e ai gruppi propulsori ecologici ibridi. Tuttavia, vi è l’urgente necessità di testare e simulare diverse sfide complesse legate alle prestazioni. Il progetto ECO DRIVE, finanziato dall’UE, formerà una nuova generazione di esperti per affrontare le complesse sfide legate al rumore di combustione, al suono irritante dei motori elettrici, a rumore, vibrazioni e durezza indotti dalla trasmissione e alle vibrazioni torsionali della trasmissione, portando a nuove progettazioni con migliore efficienza sul piano ecologico e migliori prestazioni. Il progetto ha nove beneficiari provenienti da importanti istituzioni accademiche, da centri di ricerca di punta e dai principali produttori di veicoli in Europa.
Obiettivo
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.
