Centre National du Transport Avancé Information

Mission Created on the initiative of partners of France and Canada, the CEVEQ/CNTA was given mission to promote the development of advanced transportion (1), particularly of the Electric Vehicles (2), in order to provide environmental, industrial, economic and power benefits. (1) Advanced Transportion The concept of advanced transport relates to the alternative systems of propulsion and displacements contributing to reduce pollution (Greenhouse Gas, noise) and congestion, for a better quality of life, etc, energy saving: vehicles being used for transport of people or goods (using in ompletely or partly electric traction) famous more effective on the energy level, having less impact less on the environment, intelligent, manufactured with recyclable new and innovatinf infrastructures (e.g.: terminals of refill, intelligent transportation systems, intermodal paltforms, etc.); better practices of transport management (e.g.: ways dedicated to public transport, management of displacements, cars divisions, vehicle in self-service, etc.) (2) Electric vehicle The electric vehicle term is taken in his general defintion. It includes/understands the road and maritime vehicles and the electric personal assitive mobility divices, using completely or partialy an electric propulsion, fed either by batteries, or by a hybrid system (mixed - batteries and combustion engines-) or by fuel cells (converter which converts the chemical energy of a fuel, in general hydrogen, in electric power).
