  2. Michelin Research and Technology • Created in 1996 in Fribourg, Switzerland, to meet the challenges of sustainable mobility • 75 people (50% with a strong engineer background) • 15 years of R&D in activities « out of the scope » of tires • Electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering all together • Photovoltaic panels system (55m²) capturing solar energy to produce hydrogen through electrolysis • Capacity: 20 000 km/year driven thanks to hydrogen produced • Designed facilities ensure top quality tests for our components and technological concepts Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  3. Zero emission technologies were right from the beginning a « no-brainer » Electric Motor Batteries Motorized Wheel Fuel Cell Supercapacitor Active wheel Systems using electrical energy onboard Systems producing electrical energy onboard Energy consumption Energy management Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  4. Retax project in a nutshell March 2011 Preliminary Design Review (solution evaluation) December 2011 Retax project Kick of meeting October2011 Critical Design Review October2013 Physical demonstrator December 2013 Final tests results RetaxprojectMilestones • The goal of RETAX is to explore intrinsically safe and efficient solutions for mid-size rotorcraft autonomous taxiing on ground and to select the most promising solution and develop it into a technical demonstrator to be tested and verified. • The former experience of Michelin in electric-drive solutions will be used and translated into a rotorcraft electric taxiing system integrated with the landing gear • A real demonstrator of the electric-drive system will be designed, engineered and built. • it’s a significant step towards greener rotorcraft operations Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  5. Example of maneuver and taxiing zone Loading zone Take-off zone Hangar Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  6. Projet RETAX Dissemination strategy

  7. Disseminationstrategy - Intent Focus2012 Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  8. Retaxwebsite • English website • Hosting: • Two url : www.retax-project.org andwww.retax-project.com • Stand-alone solution • Followed principles: • Flexible tool, easy to update - web interface with a CMS (Content Management System / Open Source) allowing content updates • The goal is to be fully referenced and listed in search engines Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  9. Recommendations Good : • Availability and reactivity of Clean Sky staff Average : • Visibility of Clean Sky synergies with other JTIs? reach out to other sectors (energy, military, car) Food for thought : • Actual communication vs the submitted strategy depends on: • ad-hoc evaluation and milestones of the project • on the industrial partner • project very close to market launch or not • IPR situation Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation

  10. Thank you Michelin Research & Technology ─ General Presentation
