We are at AUTONOMY event

The advent of #SmartMobility is well on its way, and the increase of events organized around this revolution is proof. One of the most interesting festival of the sort is getting very close, it is a summit at which FAAR Industry will be represented by Randolph TOOM, our Director of Innovation. Indeed, the aptly named Autonomy convention taking place in Paris on the 19th, 20th and 21st of October is inviting Randolph to speak at the Electric Road Round Table along with Nicolas De Crémiers (Head of Marketing at Navya) and Thomas Chrétien (Electric Vehicles Director at Nissan West Europe).

This conference will see the three experts talk about the future of electric vehicles, Randolph will debate on the autonomous counterpart & the embedded electronic solutions. The whole panel will deal with the upcoming V2G technology that will see them both connected to the grid.

Come take part in this discussion about EVs, AEVs and V2G, it will be held on Oct 19th, at 10am at the Grande Halle of la Vilette, Paris. 

Hope to see you there!

“VEHICLE OF THE FUTUR” days at Fès, MOROCCO

FAAR Industry begins the year by taking part in the open days “Vehicle of the Future” together with some other industrials as PSA, Actia and also engineering schools (like INSA).

The event takes place from 12 to 13 of January at Fes, Morocco and is hosted by Euro-Mediterranean University of Fes. The inscription link is here.

Futur of the hybrid and electric vehicles, management of energy, rapid prototyping tools for innovation, reliability of the electronics next generation, and several other thematics will be adressed during these open days.

The topic that Randolph TOOM, our Innovation Director will present is ” CROSS-DRIVE: A simple transmission for more efficiency on electric motors”.

You can find details about the system here: https://faarindustry.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/improve-efficiency-autonomy-electric-vehicles/

 

Who to improve the efficiency and autonomy of the electric vehicles ?

Cross-Drive is an answer to this question.

What is it ? A freshly released patent by FAAR Industry that offers the improved efficiency and driving range for electric vehicles at low speeds.

The concept by FAAR Industry is based on two small electric motors connected by a planetary gearset to run each motor individually at optimized RPM at both low-speed and high vehicle speeds. Control strategies of the RPM-Torque field allow staying longer in the optimum efficiency range.

Our solution is particularly suitable for urban vehicles with frequent stop-and-go driving at low speeds (buses, refuse trucks, delivery vans, postal services). 

Advantages of the innovation Cross-Drive:

• significant increase of driving range for the same battery capacity,
• strong impact on the need for cooling,
• immediate ROI vs. a larger battery for the same driving range,
• compact, easy to package, using components from automotive industry.

Next step: we are looking for industrial partners for on-vehicle prototyping and to apply the concept on a fleet of urban delivery trucks (mail, garbage collection, delivery etc.).

Please contact us at contact@faar-industry.com for more information or a demonstration.

And stay tuned, we are preparing a video to better explain the concept.
