🤝 SCAPE is proud to be contributing to the LeMesurier Project, devoted to developing a framework to monitor the effectiveness of the 2Zero Partnership in meeting its ambitious #sustainability objectives. 📏 🔎 By gathering and analysing research data from ongoing projects like ours, this initiative establishes core values and tracks progress for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which will drive sustainable #roadtransport and advance research and #innovation across Europe over the next decade. Our project is honoured to be part of LeMesurier's initiative, helping to: ✅ Strengthen insights into 2ZERO's research impacts. ✅ Support sustainability goals through measurable contributions. ✅ Shape future calls and projects within the partnership. 🙋♂️Here’s how SCAPE is aligning with 2ZERO’s KPIs: 🔋 Demonstrating improved charging efficiency for: Slow charging (3kW–22kW) Fast charging (>150kW) Ultra-fast charging (>300kW) 🚗 Developing affordable, high-efficiency technologies and integrated systems for vehicles. Showcasing advancements in fast-charging capabilities for #electromobility. ⚙️ Realising demonstrator vehicles with an optimised cost vs. benefit. Innovating in areas such as energy consumption, material use, and production processes, ensuring sustainability throughout the vehicle lifecycle. 🌍 Driving the reduction of CO₂ emissions from road transport for all vehicle types. We’re excited to be part of this journey and to collaborate with the E-VOLVE Cluster and other CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency projects in making a measurable and impactful difference. 🚀

The GREENTECH FESTIVAL opened its doors at the new location of Messe Berlin today, and the turnout was awesome! 🚀 Here‘s my Top Highlights from today‘s Exhibition: ✈️ APUS Zero Emission GmbH: Apus is set to make history with the first hydrogen fuel cell certified aircraft to go into production. Their emission-free aircraft will have its inaugural flight from Sylt to Berlin, embodying sustainable aviation, innovative thinking, and visionary developments. 🌍 Poetsch: Poetsch introduced a revolutionary pavement stone that mimics the properties of grass. It's permeable, allowing water to pass through directly to the earth, while also filtering out microplastics and other contaminants. A smart and eco-friendly solution for urban environments! 🚗 AUDI AG: Audi presented ⁠the Audi Q6 e-tron, as well as the RS Q e-tron (the vehicle that won the Dakar Rally). They're also showcasing the premium electric platform for the Audi Q6 and A6 which is super cool to see. 🚛 DLR/U-shift Driveboard: DLR showcased their modular, fully electric, and autonomous U-Shift vehicle concept. By separating the driving module from the transport capsule, they create new possibilities for intermodal transport, including autonomous delivery, intra-logistics, and barrier-free passenger transport. Innovative companies in the green tech space are super important in driving the transition towards a more sustainable future. They bring fresh ideas and technologies that can significantly reduce our environmental footprint and create new economic opportunities. What recent green tech innovation excites you the most?

🌟 Revolutionizing Transportation: Japan's Maglev Car Technology 🌟 Japan is redefining the future of mobility with its cutting-edge magnetic levitation (maglev) car technology, developed by the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). This innovation eliminates the need for traditional engines and batteries, enabling cars to float above specially designed tracks. The result? Near-zero friction, enhanced energy efficiency, and dramatically lower carbon emissions. A giant step toward sustainable transportation, maglev technology promises cleaner travel, reduced operational costs, and a greener planet. #Innovation #Sustainability #FutureOfTransportation #MaglevTechnology #GreenTech

THe change is happening rapidly and it's great to see. The problem here in the UK is the lack of grid capacity. Everybody is being made to wait while the grid is upgraded bit by bit. However, there is another way. Our client are getting all the capacity they need by installing smart grids on site. Moreover, the savings actually fund the capital investment. It's just doing things differently. #thinkdifferent #truck #charging #EV #Grids #agile #renewables

“we're leveraging this technology to build a fuel cell that's 6 times lighter than any other fuel cell on the planet“. 🌱✈️ Meet Bob Criner, Founder of Stralis Aircraft (YC W23)!  In Bob’s Cicada x Tech23 talk, he discusses how Stralis’ tech is creating lighter, cleaner, cheaper solutions for aviation! Flying is the most carbon-intensive mode of transport, and reducing emissions is challenging with limited decarbonisation options. Current alternatives are costly, and most major airline roadmaps rely on Sustainable Aviation Fuel – an expensive and partial solution. Stralis' hydrogen-electric propulsion system uses green hydrogen, emitting only water. Their breakthrough fuel cell system is six times lighter, has a longer life, and will be about 50% cheaper to operate, making decarbonized flights practical and sustainable. Stralis will showcase this technology and complete the first piloted hydrogen-electric flight in the Southern Hemisphere in 2025. Their retrofitted aircraft, with partners Skytrans and Penjet, will redefine regional travel from 2027. From 2030, they will deliver the world’s first 50-seat hydrogen-electric aircraft, produced at scale.

Thank you EIC Scaling Club for the nice quotes. I mean it when I say, we really want to offer a way to do things differently and rethink the vehicle from it’s base - how the only parts in touch with the ground are used, controlled, built around. So much of the car can be more efficient,more rational, more comfortable and safer. Even better performing. And while introduction of the technology can be incremental, the advantage will be on those who make the full step from day 1. Just look at the milestones of Lightyear 0, outperforming the Tesla model 3 by 40% of range on literally an identical battery simply by rethinking rhe architecture and aero (and some magic in the wheels at pioneering efficiency). The key is to work hand in hand with the OEMs, Tier1s, to cocreate rather than compete. The sooner this happens, the sooner the industry gets the mojo back.

A great overview of the progress, opportunities and challenges of onboard carbon capture. Onboard Carbon capture will clearly become mandatory for shipping in the near future. The quicker we all get behind these excellent initiatives like SEABOUND and Lomar Labs the quicker we can effectively cut our CO2 emissions by 80% almost overnight on existing vessels.
