Project Information

HEATRECAR

Grant agreement ID: 218541

Project closed

Start date 1 November 2009

End date 31 December 2012

Funded under

• Specific Programme "Cooperation": Transport (including Aeronautics)

Total cost € 4 240 834,20

EU contribution € 2 513 250,00

Coordinated by

CENTRO RICERCHE FIAT SCPA
Italy

Objective

The main objective of the project is to reduce the energy consumption and curb CO2 emissions of vehicles by massively harvesting electrical energy from the heat within the exhaust system and re-use this energy to supply electrical components within the vehicle or to feed the powertrain of hy-brid electrical vehicles (HEV). The recovery of the thermal energy will be performed by novel, labo-ratory-available thermoelectric (TE) materials which are able to work at the adequate high tem-peratures and exhibit high performance.
