Narrative
Project partners: Latvia's University of Life Sciences in cooperation with SIA e-Mobility and SIA Lesla Latvia. The aim of the project is to develop an ecologically sustainable heat supply solution for public electric transport using heat accumulators. The new technology will make it possible to supply public electric buses without relying on fossil fuels or increasing battery capacity. Heat energy is to be stored in a heat accumulator and restored by wireless charging during stops.
Financial data
Total investment: 759 969.07 €. EU investment: 526 698.66 € (69,3%).
Recommendations
This solution was intended to improve the heat extraction of the public electric bus' systems and the partner in this project considers it a success, promising to implement it in their electric minibuses. Such a solution can potentially be useful not only in road transport but also in other areas, such as the manufacturing industry.
