Vehicle engineering
Drivetrain and packaging
Partners with vehicle integration experience define the electric drivetrain, the packaging of the battery and generator, and the overall vehicle requirements.
Consortium
E V R E S T Consortium
Electric Vehicle with Range Extender as a Sustainable Technology. The consortium brings together complementary expertise in vehicle engineering, energy systems, control and sustainability assessment.
Partner roles
The consortium is organised around the competences needed to take the range extender concept from design to validated prototype. Each partner contributes to specific work packages and shares responsibility for common results.
Energy systems
Generator and battery technology
Specialists in combustion systems, power electronics and electrochemical storage develop and characterise the energy components of the concept.
Sustainability
Lifecycle and environmental assessment
Partners with environmental analysis expertise evaluate emissions, resource use and end-of-life considerations across the vehicle lifecycle.
Shared governance
Decisions are taken collectively. A coordinating body oversees planning and quality, while technical leads are responsible for the results of their packages.
- Regular general assembly meetings to approve plans and reports
- Technical committee for interface and design decisions
- Quality reviews before each deliverable is submitted
- Open exchange of data within agreed confidentiality rules
Working principles
The consortium works under principles that keep the research focused and transparent.
Each partner is selected for a specific contribution, so that no essential competence depends on a single organisation.
Energy efficiency, emissions and material choices are treated as requirements from the start, not as checks at the end.
Results, setbacks and changes are shared openly within the consortium so that problems are identified early.
Ways to take part
Organisations and individuals interested in the technology can follow the project and contribute to its results.
The consortium welcomes feedback from industry, researchers and policy makers on the results published during the project.
