Event

The project Crossing Electrical and Vehicle Competence (xEVCO) is a joint endeavor by Volvo Cars, Chalmers and SP. The project is supported and  funded by Vinnova.

The objective is to enable top down design of hybrid systems by developing and demonstrating simulations, models and functions in electrified vehicles.

Today the seminar will give some insight into what has been achieved so far in the project. Another objective is to get some feedback from and have some dialogue with key persons in hybrid and EV technologies. All to strengthen the Swedish Hybrid Vehicle knowledge base.
 
This is the third seminar. Lunch will be served.
