𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻: 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Compliments to ACE Mobility - Automotive Center of Expertise for their excellent magazine spotlighting innovations in autonomous driving, full-electric mobility, and hydrogen-powered vehicles. This edition features the pioneering Green Transport Delta Hydrogen project, led by DAF Trucks NV and backed by the Dutch government, to transform diesel engines into hydrogen combustion engines for non-road and inland waterway applications. As part of this initiative, NPS Driven has been re-engineering a DAF six-cylinder diesel engine for hydrogen use. Peter van der Heijden, Managing Director of NPS Driven, emphasizes the company’s commitment to sustainable powertrain solutions: “In the next 20 years, we must eliminate carbon emissions. Hydrogen offers a viable solution if we can achieve efficient storage and distribution.” The technical team tackled a complex redesign, adapting the engine management system, ECU, and wiring to make a diesel engine hydrogen-compatible without a complete overhaul. Unlike fuel cells, hydrogen combustion engines provide a more cost-effective solution and tolerate lower hydrogen purity levels, opening doors to wider applications. Moving forward, the Green Transport Delta Hydrogen project will undergo extensive testing with additional funding sought from the National Growth Fund. Van der Heijden underscores that government support in establishing a hydrogen distribution network will be key to driving adoption, just as it did for electric vehicles. Thank you, ACE Mobility, for bringing attention to groundbreaking projects like these that shape the future of clean mobility. Together, we’re advancing sustainable solutions, one innovation at a time. Gentiana Tijssen, Nadieh van Kesteren, Christine Swinkels, Freek de Bruijn, Susan Smolders #GreenTransportDelta #Hydrogen

[ Direct Current Dialogues # 9 ] Discover the insights of Henri Schouten from NMi, Netherlands Measurement Institute, a Current/OS Partner, in our #DirectCurrent Dialogue # 9. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁/𝗢𝗦 Why develop #DC? 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗻 Direct Current development is essential as it increasingly powers modern equipment and energy storage systems like those in electric vehicles. DC allows for more efficient energy transfer and faster charging without needing AC to DC conversion. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁/𝗢𝗦 What is the key benefit of DC? 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗻 The primary benefit of DC is its #efficiency. Transitioning our electricity systems entirely to DC would eliminate the required energy conversions between DC and AC. For example, DC #photovoltaic systems and #batteries integrated into our existing AC network undergo continuous conversions, which could be bypassed if DC were used directly. This direct utilization would streamline the entire energy system, enhancing its efficiency. Moreover, DC offers the advantage of #stability. Unlike AC systems, which can be disrupted by harmonics—additional frequency components, DC provides a constant, oscillation-free flow of energy, making it inherently more stable and reliable. Embracing DC ensures our #energy #infrastructure is forward-thinking and optimized for future demands. This approach enhances system performance and paves the way for more #sustainable energy solutions. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁/𝗢𝗦 How is NMi engaging with other industry partners and the Current/OS initiative to drive the implementation of DC? 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗻 NMi, as a test house and Notified Body for legal metrology, is deeply engaged in advancing the implementation of Direct Current technologies. Through its longstanding membership in international standardization organizations such as IEC and CENELEC, NMi collaborates closely with users and manufacturers to develop suitable standards for DC electricity meters. This includes the active contribution to new standards over the past three years, which are now adopted at European and worldwide levels. In its laboratories, NMi has invested in specialized equipment to rigorously test DC devices, mainly focusing on the accuracy of fast chargers for electric vehicles under various operating conditions. This capability supports the broader adoption of DC in critical applications, ensuring compliance with legal metrology standards. Furthermore, NMi's collaboration with governmental bodies has led to the development of comprehensive guides for the legal implementation of DC technologies. Partnering with the Current/OS initiative, NMi applies its expertise to foster the growth of DC in various settings and is exploring new frontiers in batteries and energy storage systems. This concerted effort underscores NMi's commitment to "measuring tomorrow," facilitating the seamless integration of DC technologies across diverse sectors. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁/𝗢𝗦 Thank you!

On today's #WorldEVDay, we want to make our contribution to promoting electromobility and advocate for an eco-friendlier mobility of tomorrow. E-mobility offers a considerable potential to sustainably reduce #CO2Emissions. Nevertheless, according to the European Fleet Emission Monitory #EFEM, 44% of fleet managers do not yet feel sufficiently informed to make the switch. In addition to the range of the vehicles and the charging infrastructure, the most difficult challenge is deciding which vehicles can be electrified. With our customised #EmobilityConsulting, we support companies in overcoming these challenges. Together, we can shape the future of more sustainable mobility: https://lnkd.in/d7yKesZS #YourMobilityMadeEasy #FleetManagement

The European #AutomotiveIndustry is looking for a way to kickstart BEV sales. An answer had emerged in Movin'On Connect, an international, business-led co-innovation ecosystem committed to #SustainableMobility. Pop-Car is a new category of sustainable, affordable, appealing #BatteryElectricVehicle (BEV). To achieve all this requires considerable innovation in terms of weight, size, safety, and repairability – but we’ve already shown that it can be done. Now we’re looking for more partners to help us realize this vision, for example by lobbying the EC to establish this new category, or by laying the groundwork for an eco-design simulation, and then building it. Read our new blog post by Emmanuelle Bischoffe Cluzel🌍 to find out how you can get involved – and why you really should. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gRFyrP5D #PopCar

eMobility #Updates Ed Conway from #SkyNews explains the causes and sources of skyrocketing growth of the Chinese Car manufacturers and parallel decline of the European Auto Industry. It shows the strength (and unfairness) of a visionary powerful Chinese industrial policy - so much still to learn for European policy makers. One has to applaud this masterpiece of long-term planning and execution to the detail involving all sources of their nation. Standing still, complaining and protecting (with Tariffs) will not change the underlying Issue. Europe needs to learn to, Act as one', leverage our leading Research competence, agree on Industrial priorities and form a long-term industrial policy to succeed. It's hard to believe that an impactful solution can be found on national levels - think regional, think European! Thanks for forwarding the Video Christian Claussen , from Volkswagen VMA!

𝗜𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮? One of the topics that came up at last week’s GERPISA - Le Réseau International de L'Automobile Global Automotive Conference in Bordeaux, France was battery repairability.  Some battery makers, including the European battery consortium, ACC - Automotive Cells Company, are looking at how to repair batteries, something that no one is talking about.  We heard from Philippe Biensan, Chief Technology Officer at ACC, who talked about how they are researching attaching the individual battery cells without glue, so that they can be tested and replaced.  This process could be a game changer in battery life.  #Battery repair may play a part in future US and EU right to repair laws, though no current laws deal with this issue.  Thanks to the GERPISA team, including Tommaso Pardi and Vincent Frigant for the great speakers and panels at last week's conference.  You can see the topics/speakers and get access to presentations at the #GERPISA Global Automotive Conference at https://lnkd.in/gTt8gRmw.
