Continental announced that it has signed three Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with local and global partners to drive research in Singapore on making the mobility ecosystem more environmentally friendly.
A press release from Continental stated that its partnership with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Volkswagen Group Innovation seeks to develop smart energy management systems to optimize electric vehicle (EV) charging.
The collaboration with CEA and NTU Singapore will research new solutions to recycle electronic components from end-of-life vehicles. The MoU with NTU Singapore and Pylon City covers the study of smart charging systems and battery optimization of EVs.
Under this MoU, Continental and Pylon City will also aim to contribute to the development of national standards for outdoor charging infrastructure of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).
Under the VW partnership, the innovation division of the German automaker will assess the potential advantages of dynamic pricing models in mitigating carbon emissions and reducing the stress on existing power systems.
This collaborative research initiative seeks to leverage cutting-edge technologies to encourage electric vehicle charging during conventional off-peak hours or when renewable energy supply is abundant.
Lo Kien Foh, President and CEO of Continental Automotive Singapore, stated that by leveraging each partner’s capabilities and resources, the company can pioneer innovative solutions to transform the automotive sector and improve its environmental standards, creating a more sustainable ecosystem for the future.
