The MIL project, winner of the Yvelines General Council's "Urban Vehicle - City of the Future" call for projects, was presented on October 7, 2013. It brought together MUSES, INDUCT and LIVIC (an IFSTTAR laboratory) to implement two automatic functions with a 100% electric Mooville vehicle:

  • Automatic valet parking for driverless vehicles.
  • Platooning enables a single driver to move an entire fleet of vehicles. A robotic arm, an integral part of the Mooville vehicle, links the vehicles together to form a train. Each vehicle adapts its behavior to that of the lead vehicle, ensuring monotrace tracking.

CAR&D has designed trajectory tracking control laws providing for redundancy, with :

  • A loop using the leader's steering information
  • A loop only internal to the following vehicle.

360° R&D, the magazine of the Association des Structures de Recherche sous Contrat (ASRC) publishes a feature on CAR&D in its March 2014 issue 5.

  • CAR&D has just developed an electric rolling base that can be used as a technological building block for various applications:

    commercial vehicle with electric or hydraulic servo-control, vehicle with purely electronic joystick control, robotized and autonomous vehicles.

  • Véléance announces the start of series production of the Tri'Ode, a 3-wheel electric urban delivery motorcycle, in Usine Nouvelle.

  • CAR&D is proud to welcome Marc Vanpeteghem's renowned naval architecture firm VPLP among its customers, who have entrusted it with work on the robotization of its patented "OceanWings" wing mast, implemented on a 6-meter trimaran proof-of-concept (2017).

  • Introducing the Pariss v2, an all-electric, dual-motor, 4-wheel drive, carbon fiber chassis, F1-type suspension, to which CAR&D made a major contribution!
