Si-DRIVE

Si-DRIVE will tackle the major barriers to EV uptake, which relate to driving range, cost and recharge times, by completely re-imagining the lithium ion battery. To achieve the goals and objectives of the project, the Si-DRIVE consortium consists of 16 partners, with five industrial organisations (two of whom are SMEs), six universities and five RTOs. Eight EU countries are represented. The Si-DRIVE partners are: - University of Limerick (UL) [project coordinator] - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) - Smit Thermal Solutions (SMIT) - Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) - Solvionic (SOLV) - Cidetec - Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) - Lithops (LITH) - Ku Leuven (KUL) - Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) - RWTH Aachen University (RWTH) - Empa Material Science and Technology (EMPA) - Centro Ricerche FIAT (CRF) - Gemmate Technologies S.R.L. (GEM) - Politecnico di Torino (pOLITO) - ZSW
