SOFTCAR - sustainable vehicle
Juin 2011
Presented by CEO SOFTCAR Jean Luc Thuliez THINK TANK MINNOVARC, 5 ème session Neuchâtel 14 décembre 2012

The use phase of a classical car contributes only about 1/3 of its environmental impact
Production
1/3 1/3 1/3
Use End of life
Primary focus of automotive industry

Quelques chiffres d’aujourd'hui:
•100 Milliards d’humains on vécu sur notre planète jusqu' à ce jour
•Nous sommes 6.8 Milliards d’humains
•3 milliards d’entre nous habitent en ville
•Nous consommerons 92 millions de barils de pétrole par jour
•Pour 6 barils utilisés, un seul est découvert, le « peak oil » est derrière nous!!
•1 milliard de véhicules thermiques sont utilisés
En Suisse
•34,4 g CO2 /kWh pour le mix de production
•112 g CO2 /kWh pour le mix de consommation (ce chiffre "très théorique" comprend un pourcentage moyen d'importation d'électricité
de l'UE à 407 g C02 /kWh)
* Calculé sur données ALPIQ Quality of electricity in Switzerland

méthode de production automobile
d’aujourd'hui:
Basée sur l optimisation des châssis coque acier qui est la plate-forme universellement
utilisé depuis 1940 en fabrication d’ automobile de grande série
Cette méthode châssis coque acier n est pas utilisable pour des véhicules légers

The use phase of a classical car contributes only about 1/3 of its environmental impact
We have already produce 1 billions car on this principle
We produce every year 60 Millions of car including 200 kg of non
recyclable Polyurethane

Thanks to its ecodesign approach, the Softcar offers the lowest achievable environmental footprint
Material production Production
Use End-of-life

SOFTCAR – Precursor of the paradigm shift in car conception and manufacturing?
Production
• No Paint
• No chemical treatment
• Reduced # of parts
End of life
• Only degradable materials
• Large single-material parts
• Towards 100% recyclable
Use
• Zero direct emission
• Ultra high efficiency
• Ultra-light (480 kg)

The ecodesign approach provides breakthrough economic added value
Production
• No Paint
• No chemical treatment
• Reduced # of parts
End of life
• Only degradable materials
• Large single-material parts
• Towards 100% recyclable
Use
• Zero direct emissions
• Ultra high efficiency
• Ultra-light (480 kg)
Highly competitive cost
< € 12’000 High recycling value
Very low capex
< € 18 million

The consumption of UPGO is 10kWh for 100 km For 10 000 kms / year, makes 1000 kWh/year We have only 900 hours of sun / year in Switzerland X 0,15kW= 135kWh/ m2
1000kWh/year : 135kWh/ m2 = 7.4 m2 of solar panel

Classical engine car : 22 % efficiency on motorway 15% in city driving
The race for energy efficiency
Carnot cycle in the Clapeyron diagram. AB: isothermal expansion, BC: adiabatic, CD: isothermal compression, DA: adiabatic compression
90% efficiency (motor controller + motor)
Electrical, 400volts, 230 Kg, 1400 Nxm torque rear wheel, 60 000 rpm
