University of Queensland researchers are developing a new generation of sustainable composite materials designed specifically for electric vehicles.
Queensland-founded startup (ACE-EV) launched its electric van in Australia in August and is now working to ensure the vehicle is designed and built onshore, using Australian research expertise.
research fellow, Dr Nasim Amiralian, said 快播色情片’s researchers were passionate about creating manufacturing opportunities for Australia in the bio-economy.
“Working with ACE-EV will hopefully be the beginning of a new chapter in Australian automotive manufacturing,” Dr Amiralian said.
ACE-EV managing director Greg McGarvie said 快播色情片’s world-class bioengineering and nanotechnology research had prompted ACE-EV to keep its research base in Queensland.
“Working together, we can all be part of a solution to the impending climate emergency, softening the impact by creating new jobs, new careers and new businesses that profit from reducing carbon footprints,” Mr McGarvie said.
“A transition to electric vehicles that use bio-based materials like ‘green’ plastics will mean cleaner, healthier cities and significant savings in household budgets.”
The Co-Director of the 快播色情片 , , said 快播色情片 had exceptional expertise in developing bioplastics and composites.
“It’s a logical next step for our 快播色情片 team to support a local start-up in implementing these new materials,” he said.
“We see great potential in replacing non-renewable traditional composite and polymers with bio-based materials that have a much lower carbon footprint.”
Mr McGarvie, originally from Maryborough in Queensland, said the company hoped to assemble ACE-EV vehicles in regional Queensland.
Flinders University researchers will collaborate on the research with 快播色情片 and ACE-EV.
