MOTORBRAIN Nanoelectronics for Electric Vehicle Intelligent Failsafe Drive Train

Coordinator: INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES AG (DE)

The overall objective is to develop sustainable drive train topologies including control concepts for inherently safe electric vehicle power-train. The project focuses on significant steps ahead in terms of: 1. Development of smart electrical power-train concepts comprising high efficiency torque dense motors fully integrated with power converters and storage systems for modularity, compactness reliability and low cost.2. Novel electrical machine topologies involving the use of soft magnetic composites and power electronics packaging and cooling systems suitable for in-motor integration. Thes…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €23.0M toward a total project budget of €137.8M — a funding rate of 17%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2.9 years from 2011-04-01 to 2014-03-01.
