CTAG recognised as Technology Center of the Year


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

Last week CTAG attended the IV International Congress of Energy Engineering (iENER’23) in Valencia, a national event that brings together multiple actors in fields related to Energy Engineering, such as sustainable mobility, smart cities, energy service companies…

Over the two days of the event, our Shuttle was offering regular transport services around La Marina de Valencia, allowing everyone who got on board to enjoy a new form of 100% electric, connected and autonomous mobility.

As part of this pilot, travellers were introduced to the Green Priority use case, a solution that allows the Shuttle to be connected to the traffic lights on its route, so that they change to green when they detect that the Shuttle is near.

On the other hand, at the end of the first day of the congress, the AEE ANNUAL AWARDS were presented, a ceremony in which CTAG was recognised as “Technology Center of the Year”. The award was received by Francisco José Sánchez Pons, director of our Electronics and ITS division.

We thank the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), a leading certification body for professional energy managers worldwide, for recognising our work on autonomous, connected and electric vehicles and towards the search for new models of sustainable mobility.

The ITHACA Project kicks off


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

CTAG announces the launch of the ITHACA project (AutomotIon of THe electricAl vechicle ChArging), which aims to develop a safer and more efficient electric vehicle charging process through robotization, in order to facilitate access and use by vulnerable groups.

ITHACA is integrated into the framework of the European SMART4ALL H2020 Project (GA No. 872614), as a winner of the third open call for cascade funding. Its launch seeks to build capacity among EU member countries through the development of self-sustained cross-border experiments for knowledge and technology transfer between academia and industry.

The project is led by the Bulgarian company IKEM and managed by INFOCOM, which will also coordinate sustainability, market and dissemination activities.

CTAG will contribute to the development of a robotic solution for plugging and unplugging the charger, sharing its extensive experience in developing innovations for the Factory of the Future.

The project will run from April to December 2023.

CTAG signs with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism a collaboration protocol for the future Spanish Network of Laboratories for Autonomous and Connected Vehicles


 Posted on by juan.silva@ctag.com

CTAG and the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (MINCOTUR) sign a collaboration protocol with the aim of formalising the launch of a laboratory network and a testing and research centre to develop technologies related to autonomous and connected vehicles.

Different vehicle and component manufacturing companies will have the opportunity to validate, test and pre-homologate new products and R&D activities before introducing them into the market.

CTAG will be able to share its experience in this field, to which it has been committed since 2005 with a strategic line of R&D&I in development and validation of autonomous and connected vehicles, as well as help to “Position Spain as the European testing and validation reference ground for the connected vehicle, and become a benchmark in the new industrial model associated with the design and manufacture of connected, autonomous and sustainable vehicles, with the attraction of investments and new projects for companies in the sector” as our managing director, Luis Moreno, highlighted yesterday.

Furthermore, Reyes Maroto explained that “Spain wants to play a leading role in the design and development of autonomous and connected vehicles and this protocol is committed to a public-private collaboration model to promote connected, autonomous, sustainable and safe mobility”.
