Assessment and testing of advanced energy storage systems for propulsion and other electrical systems in passenger cars

Description: Das Projekt "Assessment and testing of advanced energy storage systems for propulsion and other electrical systems in passenger cars" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Brüssel. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Volkswagen AG, Konzernforschung.The ASTOR project concentrates specifically on a single key area of technology that can have a very significant influence on clean vehicles of the future - the Electrical Energy Storage System. The successful development of competitively priced systems will enable a whole range of vehicle products from electric-only, through all configurations of hybrid electric, particular fuel cell applications and onto 42 V systems on more conventional vehicles. The energy storage issue is probably the biggest obstacle to the widespread application of a step change in clean vehicle technology. ASTOR will provide an independent specification, test and evaluation activity to any potential systems available from suppliers within Europe and some worldwide suppliers, too. In this way the technology developers and suppliers will be given a clear direction and encouragement from the project partners, who represent almost the whole European vehicle manufacturing industry.
