PRESS RELEASE: ICT AND INMOTION ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP
09 maart 2015
Today ICT Automatisering (ICT) and Stichting Automotive Technology InMotion (InMotion) announce a partnership. InMotion is an automotive race team that consists of students of Eindhoven University of Technology and Fontys University of Applied Sciences. InMotion aims to participate in the 24h
race of Le Mans in 2017 with their IM01 race car. Furthermore they set out to break the all time record on the famous Nuerburgring Nordschleife.
As predecessor of the IM01, InMotion is currently developing the IM/e race car which embodies an all-electric test platform for technologies to be used on the IM01, e.g. several active systems.
Together ICT and InMotion will develop the Electronic Control Units (ECU's) for the complete IM/e race car. ICT provides its Model based development Production Platform (MPP) consisting of the ECU's hardware and platform software, while InMotion develops the control algorithms (application
software) for these ECU's.
Colin Diederen, Public Relations Manager InMotion: "We are proud to team-up with an innovation-driven company like ICT. With their platform, we can create the perfect ECU and architecture for our test vehicle. This is a major step towards the development of our Le Mans racer, the IM01".
Eeuwke Wielinga, ICT's Business Unit Manager Automotive & Mobility: "We are excited to contribute to the goal of InMotion to deliver the first race car on the roadmap to the IM01 in 2015. Both InMotion and ICT share the passionate drive of technological innovation and the desire to apply
groundbreaking technology on cars. Being at the forefront of many of the latest developments we successfully developed the Model based development Production Platform (MPP) for the automotive industry. ICT's MPP consists of both hardware and software. The platform offers seamless integration
of MATLAB / Simulink control algorithms on production class automotive hardware built up on an AUTOSAR architecture. As such it forms an excellent basis for automotive control development on various HW platforms."
