The objectives of research are based on the Durability and Quality aspects of transport systems for which a considerable number of barriers are to be removed in order to promote the utilization of electrical energy in transport systems. The general approach is to contribute to the knowledge of new components subject to their usage conditions, to study their integration in the transport modes and to promote the development of electric and hybrid transport systems. The work is organized in three research themes each pointing a major barrier to the future transport systems.

•   The reliability of power semiconductor devices at high temperatures
•   The storage of electrical energy for the urban transport systems
•   The integration and interface systems of fuel cell generators.
