Project overview
This network was led by Prof. L. Cipcigan of Cardiff University and also included Birmingham, Bristol and Cranfield Universities.
The DTE Network+ brought together academia, industry and the public sector to address the challenges limiting the current implementation of an electrified, integrated transport system across the automotive, aerospace, rail and maritime sectors.
The DTE Network+ identified drivers for change within the transport system including technological innovation, individual mobility needs and economic requirements for change, alongside environmental and social concerns for sustainability. It considered the role, social acceptance and impact of policies and regulations that will result in emissions reduction. It has adopted an integrated whole system approach that addressed short, medium and long-term time-frame challenges, using a multi-layered approach that considers vehicles and technology, charging infrastructure, the supply of electricity and smart mobility.
Further webinars were held in 2023 and further seed-corn funded research projects have been initiated, including work on micro-mobility by TRG.
