The ENIAC Joint Undertaking announced that the project E3Car – “Nanoelectronics for an Energy Efficient Electrical Car” received its 2011 Innovation Award, demonstrating 35% energy savings, lower costs, improved reliability and shorter time to market by introducing innovations at component and sub-system level, some of which are being adopted in real-life applications as early as in 2012. The announcement made at the European Nanoelectronics Forum in Dublin also highlighted the “E3Car” contribution as a pioneer and a role-model: it seeded a cluster of seven electro-mobility projects sharing the understanding of fundamental architectures and topologies defined in “E3Car”. “E3Car” is Europe’s largest research project in the field in the last three years. It is executed by 33 partners from 11 European countries.
