Présentation

Let's innovate together a more sustainable mobility

Innovate

Innovative solutions addressing market needs:

  • Electric powertrain systems for optimal energy efficiency of vehicles
  • Web services to reduce the environmental footprint associated with mobility and improve air quality
  • IC engine systems incorporating low-carbon fuels in order to reduce the carbon footprint and pollutant emissions
  • Mobile or stationary systems for energy production and storage and thermal energy recovery for transport or lowpower facilities

High-performance experimental resources and digital tools resulting in innovations with reduced costs and development times

A proactive industrial protection policy

Collaborate

  • Close ties with industry: from start-ups, micro-companies, SMEs and
    intermediate-sized companies to major French and international industrial groups
  • A strong commitment within competitiveness clusters (NextMove, CARA, ASTech, etc.)
  • Pooled and targeted action within the context of Carnot “industrial sector” projects: coordinator of Carnauto for the automobile sector and partner of Aircar for the aviation sector
  • Synergy with networks of academic partners and R&D laboratories with an international influence
  • Active participation in European bodies representing research and industry (EARPA, ERTRAC, EGVIA, POLIS)
