Technology transfer, J-V or Franchise of design of Small city electromobile and low-CAPEX technology of production

We are a Czech designing and developing company and we have developed in cooperation with the Technical University an atractive Small Electric Vehicle of category L/6/L7 for the city transportation. Vehicles are designed for manufacturing in micro-factories close to consumer markets, to optimize logistics & increase the efficiency of supply chains. We have designed tools for its low-cost production. We are convinced that Small Electric Vehicles are the optimal solution of individual city transpot and we bring a chance to participate on this growing market while the sale of vehicles with the internal combustion will be reduced. We offer to a competent and forward-looking entities planning to develop an international business a Licence to produce Small City Electromobile according to our know-how. We presume that this project may draw your attention because it saves money and time than starting from zero. The development of the present model took about 4 years, the prototype of delivery van is about 90 – 95 % finished (Technology readiness level 6 – 7), hatch back is 70 % finished but still needs more testing (like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grYYJCWyp9g ????), improving and debugging in order to complete the homologation process. We expect that the production will be possible within one year. The big carmakers who until recently did not show interest in small city vehicles also start to realize the business opportunity of this category, and even unite their powers (Toyota, Suzuki, Daihatsu) in order not to miss the boat. Development usually takes about 3 - 6 years but the cards are dealt now. After 5 years it might be late. The basic version of the vehicle is equipped only with the items necessary for driving and safety. For easy and cheap production the body is made from a light, firm and cheap thermoplastic, and a light self-supporting chassis is made from specially designed aluminum profiles. Due to the atypical slantwise allocation of seats, the length of the vehicle is only 2 500 mm which enables the perpendicular kerbside parking which is so demanded by carriers and delivery services.

Drag Reduction in Vehicles to increase fuel efficiency and reduce CO2

For heavy goods vehicles (HGV) 10% drag reduction is achieved by combining a single embedded trough at the rear end of the vehicle roof and troughs at the rear end of each side of the vehicle. This will result in significant fuel efficiencies during operation. Brunel University London is seeking companies who are interested in partnering to scale up this patented design. This could be HGV trailer manufacturers or in related areas of manufacturing of cars, particularly high performance/speed vehicles, coaches, train carriages and boats.

Industrial production of humic and fulvic acid from biomethan digestate

Anaerobic digestion is a process able to degrade organic waste to methane using a diverse microbial community. However, not all organics present in the feedstock can be biologically degraded and the undegraded fraction are disposed to fields or incinerated. This fraction, called the digestate, is underexploited and represents an interesting source of humic substances as they remain undegraded during the AD process. Our solution consists of a series of process to extract and concentrate those humic substances, specially fulvic acid. The first step is the mechanical separation of the liquid and solid phases. Then the liquid fraction undergoes a serie of filtration to remove inorganic precipitates, large particules and impurities. Then the concentration is done by reverse osmosis where the water is removed, and the humic substance solution retained. This technology allows a recovery of 60% of the humic substances in a solution containing at least 50% of fulvic acids. Further concentration steps can be done if necessary to obtain a solution with a minimum concentration of 12% w/w.
