2^nd eCarTec to be granted on the occasion of eCarTec 2010:
The award is granted at the leading trade fair eCarTec in five categories for leading-edge and sustainable electric mobility

Munich, February 2010: The field of electric mobility will gain considerable importance in the coming years in terms of technical and economic progress. In the long run, development of highly efficient drives and vehicles will become an urgent prerequisite for safeguarding mobility and protecting our climate and resources. Electrification of the power train will play an important role as electric drives bear a great potential of reducing our dependency on oil imports while reducing CO₂ emissions and local noxious emissions such as respirable dust and nitric oxides.

To speed up and improve this process, MunichExpo Veranstaltungs GmbH will grant the eCar Tec award on the occasion of eCarTec 2010, 2^nd international trade fair for electric mobility. "We are looking for the most innovative and promising projects and products from the field of electric mobility. By participating, enterprises can outline their innovative competence and gain a valuable marketing instrument to position their products on the market even more successfully", states Robert Metzger, organizer of the trade fair eCarTec. "Only those who are at the cutting edge of this trend can benefit from this promising market. And the sales potential is in fact high".

The top-class jury including Prof. Dr. Norbert Nicoloso / 1st Chairman at BZV/D e.V., Martin Altepost / TÜV Süd Automotive GmbH, Thomas Krause / Chemetall GmbH, Robert Metzger / MunichExpo Veranstaltungs GmbH, Thomic Ruschmeyer / Bundesverband Solare Mobilität, Helmut Teschner / Webasto Solar GmbH and Markus Schöttle / ATZ Elektronik) will grant the award for electric mobility in the following categories: electric cars, electric motorcycles, electric utility vehicles, drive technology, storage technology, energy and infrastructure. Moreover, the most sustainable mobility concept of a community/region or a company will be awarded with a special prize. The award winners will be announced at a ceremony at the trade fair eCar Tec in October 2010.

Winner of the categorie electric vehicles:

tesla roadster
The Tesla Roadster covers the span between eco-friendliness and driving pleasure. A re-engineered Lotus Elise frame serves as a basis for the Tesla. The body itself is made of carbon which reduces the vehicle weight to just 1,220 kg. The Tesla with its AC motor located in the rear accelerates from 0 to 69 mph in 3.7 seconds with the maximum torque of 380 Nm. It can travel up to 365 km per charge. One complete loading cycle with high-voltage current takes about 4 hours, battery life is limited to approximately 160,000 km. The required electricity for 100 km costs about EUR 1.10.

ECO Daily Electric - The Zero Emission Truck Manufactured By Iveco
The conditions for vehicle access to cities have become increasingly strict. The hybrid drive - a popular political marketing instrument - is only a temporary solution as it is based on a combustion engine. Since 1986 Iveco has been developing an electrically driven truck which is now ready for series production. A fully loaded E-Daily covers a range of 130 km max in stop-and-go-operation, its speed was limited to 70 km per hour. The range of use is therefore clear: The vehicle is highly suitable for inner cities and city highways and is therefore the best choice for package couriers with average daily routes of 70 km.

Commendation of the categorie Electric Vehicles:

THE ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE ZERO X
Zero X is a high performance, maximum efficiency electric motorcycle that can be transported easily. Zero can be charged anywhere thanks to its extremely safe removable battery. The motorcycle was constructed by using modular lightweight design components. By exchanging components, the vehicle can be adapted to modern technological progress with a few flicks of the wrist. Thanks to the materials used, the vehicle is not only extremely durable but also almost fully recyclable. The Zero contains no toxic substances and heavy metals. Zero X with its low noise level is emission free and lends a new face to the world of motorsports.

FEV Liion
FEV presents its plug-in electric vehicle with Range Extender Module and Li-Ion batteries based on a Fiat 500 model. Sixteen of these vehicles will be used during a two-year testing phase of the EEnergy project developed by the federal government. The vehicles are part of a fleet test on electric mobility in the model region of Aachen. Supplemented by a Range Extender Modul, these electric vehicles guarantee a high utility value. FEV integrates the e-traction components into an existing mass-production vehicle. The space once required for the combustion engine now houses the electric motor. The remaining space can be used either for further battery modules or for an alternative installation of the Range Extender Module. The Li-Ion battery is a proprietary development that was integrated into a sandwich bottom near the longitudinal beams. The Range Extender Module was built into the space of the former tank which was reduced to 121. The useable space of the vehicle remains unchanged. Due to a growing demand for electric vehicles, the small batch vehicle is set-up at FEV for the purpose of conducting fleet tests.

VEHICLE RECEPTACLE, INFRASSTRUCTURE RECEPTACLE
MENNEKES Elektrotechnik GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading manufacturers of industrial plugs and receptacles. Already since the end of the 90s, MENNEKES has been dealing with plug-type connections for electric vehicles. MENNEKES approaches this topic in an integrated fashion and can cover all sectors ranging from the vehicle socket and the charging cable with plugs up to the charging stations. The tasks of the charging plugs are much more complex in this context than one would think at first glance, as they have to cover a large variety of functions. Mennekes managed to develop a charging connector that meets these demands. This connector is no larger than a common 16A plug and suited for both single-phase 230V connection as well as three-phase 400V connection up to a charging current of 63A. This charging technology also features the required communication interfaces between the charging station and the vehicle. A "plug present" contact for example ensures the activation of the immobilizer and a "control pilot" contact enables communication, meaning data exchange.

INSULATION MONITORING - IN HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEMS OF HYBRID AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES
The A-ISOMETER® iso-F1 monitors the insulation resistance between the active conductors of an electrical drive system (Un = DC 0...800 V) and the reference earth (vehicle mass). The patented measurement method is used to monitor the condition of the insulation on the DC side as well as on the AC side of an electric vehicle with drive system and to signal insulation faults reliably even under high system interferences which can be caused by motor control processes. Due to its low weight (50g) and its space-saving design in combination with an optimized measurement technique, the device is perfectly suitable for use in hybrid electric vehicles. The device meets the increased requirements with regard to the environmental conditions (from -46°C to 125°C ), electromagnetic compatibility and resistance to high voltage. Moreover, the component meets the highest demands in terms of resistance to shock and vibration.

e MOTOR POOL 2015+
Fraport plans to replace its vehicle fleet for ground traffic services with electric vehicles in the medium term. In parallel with a gradual use of electric vehicles, a sufficiently large network of fast-charging stations at key positions on the apron and at various other places that can be easily reached is to be built at the airport to ensure energy provision to the growing fleet of electric vehicles. To ensure quick availability of vehicles or handling devices, power current stations will be setup that are capable of recharging the accumulators within less than 30 minutes. Moreover, Fraport is planning to equip its parking garages for passengers and staff with charging stations to be able to test the power supply in these areas as well.
