Alternative propulsion systems and environmental impact of motor vehicles.
Main Objectives and Activities
- To develop hybrid propulsion systems with hydrogen-powered fuel cells focused on applications in industrial and special vehicles in order to optimise consumption and reduce pollutant emissions.
- These are focused on their application in industrial in special vehicles.
- To develop methodologies to determine emission factors linked to vehicles, propulsion technologies and fuels.
- Study and development of different improvement alternatives related to thermal engines - post-treatment systems, biofuels, calibrations, dual-fuel, etc. - that imply a lower environmental impact of the same.
