ELIPTIC

  This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 636012.  

Title

Efficient Additivated Gasoline Lean Engine

Concept

The overall aim of ELIPTIC is to develop new use concepts and business cases to optimise existing electric infrastructure and rolling stock, saving both money and energy. ELIPTIC will advocate electric public transport sector at the political level and help develop political support for the electrification of public transport across Europe. ELIPTIC looks at three thematic pillars:

• Safe integration of ebuses into existing electric PT infrastructure through (re)charging ebuses “en route”, upgrading trolleybus networks with battery buses or trolleyhybrids and automatic wiring/de-wiring technology
• Upgrading and/or regenerating electric public transport systems (flywheel, reversible substations)
• Multi-purpose use of electric public transport infrastructure: safe (re)charging of non-public transport vehicles (pedelecs, electric cars/ taxis, utility trucks)
