ESCIPODS (Electric Supercapacitor Integrated PODs)

Abstract

ESCIPODs is a collaborative project led by Westfield Sportscars, alongside Zap&Go, Potenza, Heathrow Enterprises and The University of Warwick to develop existing autonomous vehicles for higher efficiency and extended range. It builds on existing research and development that has been carried out in the UK to propose a novel and innovative solution for clean and efficient urban transportation. This will be achieved by developing a new hybrid supercapacitor and Lithium-Ion battery system for deployment in both new and retrofit PODs.
