Alongside the development of stationary charging infrastructure for private and industrial automotive sector, mobile charging solutions will be indispensable in the future in order to ensure power supply for vehicles of all kinds anytime and anywhere. In here, the development of mobile charging solutions for large-scale electrified applications (aircraft, buses, lorries, etc.) has not yet received much attention.
Therefore, the Mobile Mobile Charger (MOMO-C) project has the following objectives:
- To design and develop a mobile, modular and battery-based charging solution for large-scale electrified applications.
- The construction of a MOMO-C demonstrator.
- Proof of concept based by charging of an electric aeroplane.
The partners in the MOMO-C project Seine Batteriesysteme, the University of Twente (three institutes), NRG2Fly, Münster/Osnabrück and Twente airports and the University of Münster, under the leadership of Fraunhofer FFB, are planning to build a MOMO-C demonstrator, which can supply an electric aircraft with the required power. The future production of the MOMO-C and market entry strategies are being developed as well. Furthermore, the project aims to promote the future development of electric flying in Europe through a test environment between Münster/Osnabrück and Twente airports.
The MOMO-C project will strengthen the cooperation between the industrial and knowledge centres of the Euregio that are involved in battery-based charging solutions and thus promote the development of future-relevant technologies. In the project, a complete production chain, from the manufacture of the battery cells to their integration into a mobile charging solution, will take place entirely in the Euregio. The versatility of the MOMO-C will also be ensured by a network of experts around the consortium consisting of future MOMO-C users (e.g. municipal utilities, e-aircraft start-ups, agricultural sector, logistics companies, construction companies and event organisers).
