why THERMAL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT can INCREASE DRIVING RANGE OF AN ELECTRIC MINIBUS ?
Traditional heating and cooling systems in electric vehicles can significantly drain the battery, reducing the vehicle’s range. This problem is particularly acute in cold climates, where maintaining passenger comfort requires substantial energy. Effective thermal and energy management is therefore crucial for maximizing the driving range of an electric minibus.
public transportation efficiency is the key
its’ not about minibus,
it’s about ‘YOU’!
MINDED MISSION
Project Expected outcome
MINDED uses an integrated methodology based on social, scientific, and technological processes. The methodology will generate outcomes on all three levels paving the way for sustainable mobility:
Scientifically, we aim to advance knowledge in the field of electric vehicle efficiency and passenger comfort through innovative heating and cooling solutions.
Technologically, our project will deliver cutting-edge advancements in digital twin modeling, AI-based driving behavior prediction, and energy management strategies, setting new standards for zero-emission minibuses.
Socially, our goal is to enhance the acceptance and adoption of zero-emission buses by providing affordable, high-performance solutions that contribute to cleaner urban environments and improved public health.
