Description du projet
Un pas de plus vers des transports plus propres et plus durables
Dans la course aux transports durables, les batteries électriques et les piles à combustible sont à l’honneur. Il est toutefois important de ne pas négliger le potentiel des technologies existantes et des moteurs thermiques. Dans ce contexte, et dans l’objectif de réduire les émissions de CO2, le projet VIP, financé par l’UE, entend concevoir une solution industrielle de capteurs pour véhicules qui indique la qualité du carburant. Soutenue par les principales juridictions d’Europe et d’ailleurs, l’adoption de carburants renouvelables prend de l’ampleur. Pouvant être utilisés avec des moteurs conventionnels, ils permettent une réduction remarquable de 90 % des émissions de CO2 par rapport à leurs homologues fossiles traditionnels. La combinaison de réglementations plus strictes, de progrès dans le domaine des carburants renouvelables et de l’intégration de systèmes de mesure et de contrôle embarqués permettra la co-optimisation du binôme moteur/carburant.
Objectif
"VIP project objective is to develop, at an industrial level, a fuel quality sensor solution to be installed on-board vehicles for CO2 reduction.
At a time when all eyes are turning to alternative, carbon-free methods of propulsion, technology related to electric batteries and fuel cells are at the forefront when it comes to the means of producing or storing energy. However, the duration of the transition phase should not be underestimated - when existing technology and thermal engines are improved. The thermal engine is, and will remain for these next 30 years, the best way of moving vehicles. This means there is a part that must be dealt with urgently: the CLEAN thermal vehicle during this long transitional phase.
Europe and the world's leading jurisdictions are advocating and legislatively pushing for the adoption and widespread use of renewable fuels, which promote the circular economy and short circuits. These new fuels operate in traditional ""drop in fuel"" engines (i.e. up to 100%) by offering a reduction in CO2 of up to 90% compared to a conventional gasoline or diesel fossil fuel on the complete Well to Wheel cycle.
It is therefore the strengthening of legislation and taxation based on CO2 and pollutant emissions, coupled with a stricter approval process, including a part on vehicle real field use conditions which will lead to the integration and spread of new on-board measurement and control systems, closer to the fuel tank system.
This combination of constraints on vehicle approval, the regulatory effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions combined with the availability on the market of refined renewable fuels in compliance with the RFQ / RED Guidelines on large volumes, opens a real prospect for the integration of a connected fuel quality/CO2 reduction function.
Fuel monitoring system also opens the door for automakers for engine/fuel co-optimization allowing to double CO2 saving by reaching up to 10% compared to a standard combustion with fossil fuels."
