Development of artificial intelligence-based algorithms in a light commercial vehicle for increased reliability of the propulsion system

The objective of this project is to bring to market a lightweight, intelligent, AI-based utility vehicle. One of the main challenges for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles is range. The AI-based advanced motor control invented by FTEX and the battery management system (BMS) of data-driven battery SOH estimation at the pack level developed by Calogy will together lead to an increased and more accurate estimation of vehicle range. In this project,
Geebee will design and build the Cargo electric vehicle which acts as the main platform for the other two partners' AI-based technologies. FTEX will develop the AI-based motor control unit that acts as the brain
in the EV. Calogy will design and manufacture an advanced battery module and BMS that also contains artificial intelligence to estimate the SOH of the battery module. This project will allow the partners to enter the market with a clearly distinct and superior product from a user's perspective. This is a unique opportunity to position Quebec as a leader in batteries and electric vehicles, from which an industry can flourish while directly contributing to the broader adoption of electric transportation in Canada. This niche is currently not being addressed and therefore offers an interesting opportunity to be seized.
