1. SOFTCAR - sustainable vehicle
Juin 2011
Presented by CEO SOFTCAR Jean Luc Thuliez THINK TANK MINNOVARC, 5 ème session Neuchâtel 14 décembre 2012 1

2. The use phase of a classical car contributes only about
1/3 of its environmental impact
Production Use End of life
1/3 1/3 1/3
Primary focus of automotive industry

3. Quelques chiffres d’aujourd'hui:
•100 Milliards d’humains on vécu sur notre planète jusqu' à ce jour
•Nous sommes 6.8 Milliards d’humains
•3 milliards d’entre nous habitent en ville
•Nous consommerons 92 millions de barils de pétrole par jour
•Pour 6 barils utilisés, un seul est découvert, le « peak oil » est derrière nous!!
•1 milliard de véhicules thermiques sont utilisés
En Suisse
•34,4 g CO2 /kWh pour le mix de production
•112 g CO2 /kWh pour le mix de consommation
(ce chiffre "très théorique" comprend un pourcentage moyen d'importation d'électricité
de l'UE à 407 g C02 /kWh)
* Calculé sur données ALPIQ Quality of electricity in Switzerland

4. méthode de production automobile
d’aujourd'hui:
Basée sur l optimisation des châssis coque acier qui est la plate-forme universellement
utilisé depuis 1940 en fabrication d’ automobile de grande série
Cette méthode châssis coque acier n est pas utilisable pour des véhicules légers

5. The use phase of a classical car contributes only about
1/3 of its environmental impact
We have already produce 1 billions car on this principle
We produce every year 60 Millions of car including 200 kg of non
recyclable Polyurethane

6. Thanks to its ecodesign approach, the Softcar offers the
lowest achievable environmental footprint
Material production Production
Lifecycle
End-of-life Use

7. SOFTCAR – Precursor of the paradigm shift in car
conception and manufacturing?
Production Use End of life
• No Paint • Zero direct emission • Only degradable materials
• No chemical treatment • Ultra high efficiency • Large single-material parts
• Reduced # of parts • Ultra-light (480 kg) • Towards 100% recyclable

8. The ecodesign approach provides breakthrough
economic added value
Production Use End of life
• No Paint • Zero direct emissions • Only degradable materials
• No chemical treatment • Ultra high efficiency • Large single-material parts
• Reduced # of parts • Ultra-light (480 kg) • Towards 100% recyclable
Very low capex Highly competitive cost
High recycling value
< € 18 million < € 12’000

18. cutting edge technology ?
Global synergies between home and mobility SOFTCAR OFFICE
The consumption of UPGO is 10kWh for 100 km
For 10 000 kms / year, makes 1000 kWh/year
We have only 900 hours of sun / year in Switzerland X 0,15kW= 135kWh/ m2
1000kWh/year : 135kWh/ m =
2 7.4 m2 of solar panel

20. The race for energy efficiency
Classical engine car : 22 % efficiency on motorway 15% in city driving
Carnot cycle in the Clapeyron diagram. AB: isothermal expansion, BC:
adiabatic, CD: isothermal compression, DA: adiabatic compression
Electrical, 400volts, 230 Kg, 1400 Nxm torque rear wheel, 60 000 rpm
90% efficiency (motor controller + motor)
