Transport and Mobility Challenge
The “Transport and mobility” challenge covers both research and teaching activities in the field of transport: thermal and/or electrical motorisation, combustion (security of combustion chambers, reduction of polluting rejects), aerodynamics, performance optimisation to reduce fuel consumption…
Mobility refers to all movement of people and goods. It covers here the organisation of transportation, design of networks, road and rail infrastructures and intermodal activities.
