Innovation Center of Intelligent Connected Electric Vehicles

About IC2EV

With the rapid development of Intelligent Connected Electric Vehicle (ICEV) in China and globally, it has gradually become a frontier area of international competition and a must-contest field. ICEV has a considerable market share and a broad impact on human society for the future. It is an interdisciplinary technology that requires knowledge and research from multiple areas. In 2018, Shanghai Jiao Tong University established the Innovation Center of Intelligent Connected Electric Vehicles (IC2EV) to conduct organized research in the sciences and applications of intelligent connected electric vehicles. As a university-level, cross-disciplinary platform, this center has been established to conduct cutting-edge research and apply it to develop engineering solutions. The center primarily focuses on intelligent driving technology, V2X connected and sharing technology, and electric vehicle technology. Furthermore, it explores the integration of ICEV with other areas such as human-vehicle integration ecology and vehicle-based energy storage. The vision of this center is to advance both theoretical and practical contributions, bridge the gap between academia and industry, and deliver key technologies to address the bottleneck in future transportation systems.
