Objective of the project

The objective of the project is to define and develop a new platform of electronic engine control units (ECMs), capable of improving the performance (emissions, fuel consumption, power) of current controllers for mono-fuel natural gas systems in the Heavy Duty sector, for applications on buses and industrial transport vehicles.

RICADUTE PREVISTE SULLA COMPETITIVITÀ DELLE IMPRESE COINVOLTE

  • Technological upgrade of the ECM (Engine Control Module) aimed at delivering higher performance at reduced costs
  • Acquisition of know-how and availability of a highly flexible control platform capable of being used on a wide range of engine applications without requiring “application-by-application” customization
  • Availability of “Rapid Prototyping” firmware development methodologies to reduce development costs.

COLLABORAZIONE ATTIVATA, SIA TRA IMPRESE CHE CON ORGANISMI DI RICERCA
