ILATERA

The theme of the İLATERA platform is "Creating a high technology platform that will develop advanced vehicle technologies transferable to the private sector, taking into account the transformation that the global automotive industry is going through and the resources of our country". The İLATERA platform includes Istanbul Technical University, Advanced Vehicle Technologies Application and Research Center (İLATAM) as the Research Project Managing Institution, OYAK Renault Otomobil Fabrikaları AŞ and TEMSA Skoda Sabancı Ulaşım Araçları AŞ as the R&D centers of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, TÜBİTAK RUTE as the Public Research Center and Eskişehir Technical University ITAM as the University Research Infrastructure. 

A platform project on "Environmentally Sustainable Advanced Vehicle Technologies" has been designed together with universities, public research infrastructures and industrial R&D centers in order to reduce the carbon footprint on a global scale and the increasing oil dependency of our country and to achieve the targets set by the green agreement.

The focus technologies for these objectives have been identified as "Development of Electric Drive, Control and Management Systems", "Design of Environmentally Friendly Vehicle Systems", "Development of Energy Storage and Management Systems", "Development of Lightweighting and Material Technologies" and "Development of Clean Energy Power and Fuel Systems". Each focus area is carried out by a separate organization that is experienced in their fields and has advanced infrastructure, while the integration of all sub-projects is planned under Istanbul Technical University - ILATAM.
