Descripción del proyecto

Nuevas piezas con menos emisiones para el sector del transporte

En los últimos años, el cambio climático ha irrumpido en el orden del día mundial. Para luchar contra el cambio climático, se han desarrollado muchas tecnologías nuevas. A pesar de ello, un ámbito concreto se ha mantenido en gran medida intacto. El transporte de larga distancia es uno de los sectores que más contribuyen al calentamiento global y, asimismo, las emisiones generadas por el consumo de combustible de los vehículos representan una de las amenazas más graves para el clima. El proyecto LONGRUN, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo luchar contra este problema al contribuir a la disminución de la contaminación causada por vehículos pesados. Prevé hacerlo mediante el desarrollo de una serie de diferentes motores, transmisiones y vehículos de demostración que generan menos emisiones. El objetivo final es acelerar la transición hacia combustibles renovables y alternativos.

Objetivo

In the long haul transport sector, the reduction of real driving emissions and fuel consumption is the main societal challenge. The LONGRUN project will contribute to lower the impacts by developing different engines, drivelines and demonstrator vehicles with 10% energy saving (TtW) and related CO2, 30% lower emission exhaust (NOx, CO and others), and 50% Peak Thermal Efficiency. A second achievement will be the multiscale simulation framework to support the design and development of efficient powertrains, including hybrids for both trucks and coaches. With the proposed initiatives a leading position in hybrid powertrain technology and Internal Combustion Engine operating on renewable fuels in Europe will be guaranteed. A single solution is not enough to achieve these targets. The LONGRUN project brings together leading OEMs of trucks and coaches and their suppliers and research partners, to develop a set of innovations and applications, and to publish major roadmaps for technology and fuels in time for the revision of the CO2 emission standards for heavy duty vehicles in 2022 to support decision making with most recent and validated results and to make recommendations for future policies. The OEMs will develop 8 demonstrators (3 engines, 1 hybrid drivelines, 2 coaches and 3 trucks); within them technical sub-systems and components will be demonstrated, including electro-hybrid drives, optimised ICEs and aftertreatment systems for alternative and renewable fuels, electric motors, smart auxiliaries, on-board energy recuperation and storage devices and power electronics. This includes concepts for connected and digitalised fleet management, predictive maintenance and operation in relation to electrification where appropriate to maximise the emissions reduction potential. The 30 partners will accelerate the transition from fossil-based fuels to alternative and renewable fuels and to a strong reduction of fossil-based CO2 and air pollutant emissions in Europe
