Award Sub-Category: Smart Transportation

The first of its kind, in-road wireless charging technology that powers
electric vehicles (EVs) as they drive along roadways at any speed.
Through a customer-first, customized approach, Electreon’s shared
invisible platform charges EVs and reduces upfront costs to enable mass
adoption by providing convenient and critical charging infrastructure.

Qnovo’s SpectralX enhances the performance, health, safety, fast
charging and predictive capabilities of Battery Management Systems in
electric vehicles. Through software alone, it enables li-ion batteries
to charge faster without compromising battery life, extends range
through increased depth of discharge and provides all-weather safe
charging.

NIO’s BaaS allows users to subscribe to battery packs of various
capacities according to their needs and pay on a monthly subscription
plan. Due to vehicle battery separation and subscription, users can
always upgrade or swap their battery pack as needed. Today, well over
half of NIO users choose BaaS over purchasing the battery.

Dow’s innovative SILASTIC™ self-sealing silicone provides outstanding
sealing performance after tire puncture, allowing driving long distances
without loss of pressure. The sealant can be applied in a
mass-producible, efficient room temperature process and easily separated
from the tire at end of life enabling recycling.

NAMI’s high performance impact dissipating bollard (IDB) can stop the
moving vehicles effectively and attains Class A of impact severity
level, greatly improving safety of vehicle occupants and pedestrians
upon vehicle crash. Besides, the shallow foundation of NAMI’s IDB makes
it ideal for both road sections and urban regions.

AquaEC™ Flex is a patented, groundbreaking, sustainable electrocoat
(e-coat) primer that enables electric vehicle (EV) designs by utilizing
innovative polymer chemistry. Curing over a broad range of temperatures
is required by EV complex frame designs. This product also reduces
emissions, eliminates hazardous materials, and enables water-recycling.

Honda AWV is a rugged off-road autonomous solution, especially where
workforce constraints and safety concerns make other solutions
impractical. The ability to operate autonomously, or via remote control
and carry large loads, along with the potential to add attachments and
tools, makes the Honda AWV a suitable platform for many work
environments.

Nuro’s fully electric, zero-occupant autonomous vehicles are designed to
deliver the things you need, from produce to prescriptions, right to
your home. These vehicles can reduce the global carbon footprint by
replacing a significant portion of personal vehicle trips, improving
road safety and extending equitable access to essential goods.

“DESTEN’s 19Ah 10C pouch cell is equivalent in terms of energy density
to those in use in Electric Vehicles today, with an EV lifetime range of
over 1.5 Million Miles for a 70kWh pack, capable of charging from 0%
State of Charge (SOC) to 80% SOC in 4 minutes and 40 seconds. Charging a
car in 5 minutes is not possible with batteries available today.”

The high-power bipolar solid-state battery is enabled by unique bipolar
stacking and proprietary interfacial ionic booster, and offers excellent
abuse tolerance, simplified con�?guration, cost reduction, and
all-climate serviceability, promising a broad applicability for
low-voltage start/stop, high-voltage pack, and non-automotive devices.
