18th - 19th Nov 2020

What started once in 2017 in Malaga was expected to be finalized at the same location with a project’s famous demonstrator – the IRIZAR bus. However, it has reached its end online with the same positive spirit. On the 18th and 19th of November, the 3rd Super Final AutoDrive Review took place in a virtual meeting via WEBEX. The partners had a chance to recap what has been achieved during the project’s life cycle of 3 years and present it to the project reviewers, including the special guests like: executive director of ECSEL JU, Mr. Bert de Colvenaer, Anton Chichkov from Lighthouse Mobility, Patrick Vandenberghe NS Berta Ferrer ECSEL Program Officers, Karlheinz Topp from Bosch, Thomas Harder from the European Center for Power Electronics, Dr. Markus Gaaß and Florian Tornette from VDI/VDE innovation and Francis Deprez from VLAIO. The event has started with an introductory word by the project coordinator Reiner John (director of R&D funded projects at Infineon Technologies), followed by a market overview and product introductions from different project partners from different supply chans, and results achieved presented by the work package 6,7 and 8 leaders.

It was concluded that during project 102 described, standardization and commercial exploitation results with exploitation routes were established. Whereas 83 scientific publications were released! 63 events attended! 36 project videos produced, where you can see all behind the scenes hard work on testing the demonstrators to achieve positive results!

The partners have proved that COVID19 had only made them stronger, and all the hurdles were tackled with strong cooperation. Whereas the reviewers from ECSEL JU have applauded the high quality of project management as well as the project’s delivered exceptional results!
