”Once we rid ourselves of traditional thinking we can get on with creating the future. ” - James Bertrand The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

Presentation Outline o Vehicle Design Summit • Introduction • X-Teams model o Vehicle Design Summit 1. 0 o Vehicle Design Summit 2. 0 o Way forward The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

Vehicle Design Summit (VDS) o A Global Student-led Consortium o Demonstrated a New Paradigm Collaboration o Sustainably Leapfrogged New Technologies o Developed on the M. I. T X-teams Model. The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 4

X-Teams Model o Building teams that lead Innovate and Succeed o Developed at M. I. T. by Prof. D. Ancona • Examined why traditional team models failed • Inward focus more than outward focus o X-teams; —External outreach to stake holders —Extensive ties —Expandable tiers —Extensive leadership and flexible membership The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

X-Teams Model The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

X-Teams Model o X-teams Improve teams ability in; — Creative Idea Production — Idea execution o Innovative capacity within organizations improved o Emphasis on distributed leadership o Succes stories include —Miscrosoft Net-Gen team —Airline companies in the U. S. The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

Pulse (of the city): Assisted Human-Electric Hybrid: - 255 mpg energy equivalency - All electric drive - 420 lb, 1 passenger - Projected Cost: $5, 000 - 450 mpg energy equivalency - Human / electric drive - 525 lb, 1 passenger - Projected Cost: $4, 000 Impact: Distributed Energy Generation Impact: Vehicle for Developing Nations Fuel-cell electric hybrid: SVO Biofuels Vehicle: - 285 mpg energy equivalency - Fuel cell, electric hybrid - 980 lb, 2 passenger - Projected Cost: $20, 000 - 54 mpg energy equivalency - SVO Single tank conversion - 1400 lb, 2 passenger - Projected Cost: $13, 000 Impact: Biological, safe hydrogen. Impact: Polyculture agriculture. The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 8

Vehicle Design Summit (VDS) 2. 0 Overview o Developed a prototype a 4 -6 seater HEV NEtworked Vehicle in 2008 -Vision 200 o Case study of India The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 9

VDS 2. 0 Objectives o Fuel an Energy Space Race o In the short term, develp an automobile with Minimal Life cycle costs- Vision 200 —Factor 20 improvement in materials and energy input o Develop fully networked system with brake and drive by wire The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 10

The Collaboration The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 11

The CAN Network o Multiple Electrical Control Units (ECU) o Control for Power Train and Body Electronics o Two separate Bus Lines, the High Speed and Low Speed Bus connected in a linear CAN Topology. o The Modules used CANopen-based I/O Subsystem, flashed into memory.

Powertrain Architecture and network The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 16

The Brake and Drive by wire configuration The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 17

The Final Concept Modular Power o Auxiliary Power Unit Run on; — hydrogen, compressed natural gas, methane ethanol, biodiesel o Straight electricity The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 18

The Final Concept 19 Hybrid Architecture o Utilization of electric motor o Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to maximize fuel efficiency and optimize vehicle performance. o Fuel economy achieved primarily through 3 mechanisms: • Reducing wasted energy during idle/low output • Recapturing waste energy (e. g. regenerative braking) • Reducing the size and power of the APU The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

The Prototype The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 20

The Africa(uganda)-MIT team The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010

Work Done by Uganda team o Development of the entire power train and the Data Networking hub (Control area network) CAN for the prototype. o Set up a Centre for Research in Transportation Technologies (CRTT) The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010 22

Way forward 23 o Adopting the X-teams model to leapfrog into o o new market Starting with conversion of existing vehicles in people’s current consumption Exploring new virgin markets such as Africa and setting up base there Industries should be located in populous countries such as China and Africa-cheap labour costs First models should be for public transportation The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3 -4 March 2010
