Contract number: POIR.01.01.01-00-1236/19 Total value of the project: 8 045 500.00 PLN European Funds contribution: PLN 4 074 137.50 The goal of the project is to develop an innovative halfshaft dedicated to electric cars. The new product in the applicant’s portfolio requires work on its production technology, which will also be a part of this undertaking. Planned outcome: The result of the project will be the implementation of a new type of axle shaft dedicated to electric vehicles to the offer of Neapco Europe Sp. z o.o. This axle will be characterized by the following competitive advantages, distinguishing the product on the market: Increase in corrosion resistance as determined by GS 90011:2010-05 up to 10 weeks Use of a new type of joint grease to reduce vibrations, reducing the coefficient of friction and thus the level of starting and rolling resistance and extending its service life, while at the same time reducing the amount of this grease by 10% Application of a new solution consisting in the integration of dust protection, grease reservoir and axle shaft separation protection in a single component, i.e. an integrated shield New types of materials which, combined with optimization, will allow a reduction of weight by at least 10% compared with the current solutions. BENEFICIARY: Neapco Europe sp. z o.o., registered office in Praszka, address: 46-320 Praszka, ul. Kaliska 72 Project name: “Carrying out the research project: halfshaft with a decreased weight and increased performance for use in modern passenger cars with the increased torque of the drive unit together with additional equipment for the R&D Department in Praszka” Funding Agreement No. : RPOP.01.01.00-16-0006/18-00 Purpose of the project: The main purpose of the undertaking is to improve the competitiveness of the company, NEAPCO EUROPE Sp. z o.o., by developing a halfshaft which will be innovative on a global scale for light/passenger vehicles with diesel engines or electric drive characterized by parameters better than is currently achieved by competitive companies, assuming the same or lower level of product curb weight. This way, the purpose of the project is to create extensive market possibilities, thus a maximum use of the R&D Department potential, as well as to develop the product adjusted to market requirements and needs. Expected effects: The project will strengthen the company’s market position. Supporting the proposed research activities will result in another level of market expansion. The increased research and development activity will grow employment in the R&D Department, as well as recognition as an innovative leader for halfshafts globally. Additionally, the R&D project will contribute to more intensive research activities of the company, gaining new scientific experience, and will lead to further research projects which will be based on the results of the subject matter project. As a result of completing the subject matter project, research results will be made public and will be presented during scientific conferences or published in specialist and scientific magazines. As a consequence, expenditures on research and development activities will increase.
