In discussions with both exhibitors and visitors, specialists in the area of electromechanical and power engineering, AUTOCLUSTERS project team members presented the up to date project results with greater emphasis on the issues related to electro-mobility.
On the second day of the conference was organized the Workshop on Actual Trends in the Electro-Mobility in South Eastern Europe. In the first part of the workshop there was presented the small pilot project SEEE-Mobility, part of AUTOCLUSTERS WP7 with a strong focus on the results of the electro-mobility study done in the South East Europe project partner countries.
3 The presentation was followed by discussions in which participants expressed their views on the state of promotion of electric-mobility and of electric vehicles in Eastern Europe. It was concluded that, although there are important results of researchers from Romania and Moldova in the development of improved performance electric motors and related control systems (proved by papers presented during the conference), their implementation in the field of automotive applications is underdeveloped.
