Descripción del proyecto
TuWing UG is a German SME, based in Berlin, and is specialised in the development of technologies for reducing
passenger and commercial vehicle energy consumption.
Today, trucks are representing a significant contributor for the overall transport emissions (CO2, NOx and particulates) within
the EU which shall be mitigated according EU white paper for a more efficient and cleaner EU transport system until 2050
Globally, transportation is accountable for 21,7% (approx. 7 billion metric tonnes) of fossil fuel CO2 emissions, 50% of NOx
emissions and significant amounts of other pollutants. Further, fossil fuels used in transportation cost its users around 100
trillion dollars per year.
Due to more stringent emission regulations in the EU from 2017 onwards, the competiveness of the end-user e.g. forwarding
companies will be stronger influenced by the truck efficiency in the future. Today’s truck fuel costs are presenting 25%-33%
of the operating costs which can be either reduced by e.g. a more efficient truck engine and / or by an upgrade (aerodynamic
etc.).
Actually, SoA technologies like Active Aero or Platooning lead to fuel saving benefits of only between 3% - 10% but
depend on boundary conditions e.g. at least three trucks are required for platooning.
Therefore, Tuwing has developed X-TEC, a low-cost fabricated truck upgrade with significant fuel saving benefit that will
become highly attractive for end-users. X-TEC is reliable, pragmatic and without logistic disadvantages able to support the
EU white paper objectives by being an unconventional groundbreaking technology for significant fuel saving at trucks by at
least 30% and will lead to a significant reduction of emissions (e.g. CO2).
