00:00Hello everybody
00:02Thanks Viva Tech for the opportunity
00:05I'll speak about avatar mobility
00:09I hope that everybody here could enjoy a nice day with the real great innovations
00:17Everything with disruptive
00:20disruptive innovations and so on
00:22Well when you speak about mobility
00:25innovation is great, but
00:28We've got one problem
00:30Well, I've got a second problem if it's not working, but yeah
00:34So the problem is
00:36We've got a broken equation with the mobility. I mean everybody knows that we got a problem of
00:43Greenhouse gas emissions
00:45But in fact we all use
00:49Either the bike which is great of course or a big car for our daily moves and in fact the
00:56real average daily move is only
00:5813 kilometers at less than 30 kilometers per hour generally and with
01:04Generally less than two people in the car
01:08Well, of course the solution cannot be to bring 1.3 people on the road
01:13So we've got to create lighter vehicles able to answer the daily uses of people and
01:22And
01:23In order to do well, we've got to do that of course in order to
01:27Enlighten the mobility facilitate the the the subjects and at the end reduce the impact
01:35Because it's not only a problem of ecological
01:39Ecological crisis sorry of course when we speak about Europe everybody knows it's the first
01:45source of greenhouse gas emissions
01:48But it's also a source of major industrial crisis in in Europe
01:52I imagine everybody now is aware of that and
01:56It's difficult for Europe to imagine
02:00Decarbonizing with the electric vehicle the way we did it before because China has taken the lead on it
02:07In addition to that the traditional mark car markets has been so
02:15Improving the quality the the complexity of the cars that it has created a social crisis in
02:21In France only there are 15 million people that are considered in the mobility and security
02:28That's almost one-fourth of the population
02:33So to improve that
02:36We created you live for
02:39Ultra low impact vehicle for every day
02:43It's a crash recycle
02:45Four places or two places plus 900 let litters for
02:51For for charge for for yeah for loads sorry
02:55Electric vehicle of course able to bring the people at 90 kilometers per hour
03:00So for example if you got to if you've got to drive on the periphery of Paris you can and
03:05able to bring you on
03:06150 kilometers range
03:09But we've treated very lights at the end
03:13It weights under 400 kilograms
03:16Kilograms with the batteries which is less than the batteries of the zoe only
03:25When you do a very light and efficient vehicle like that
03:29You open the case for a new electric mobility with swappable batteries and this
03:35May be very important in some cases for example when you've got an intense use of the of the of
03:42the of the vehicle in the professional cases
03:47Charging downtime become becomes a real problem and the second thing is for fleet managers
03:54everybody
03:55Everybody speaks about the problems of the batteries the the potential fires of the batteries the potential problems of the
04:03lifetime of the vehicle
04:04Any accidents if you've got an electric vehicle well with swappable batteries, of course
04:10You disconnect the vehicle from the battery
04:13So you really ease these kind of problems and facilitate the transition even for professional usages
04:21While reducing the price we reduce of course the weight of the vehicle the weight of the vehicle we reduce
04:27of course the
04:29the need for resources
04:32When we use the car we also need less energy than traditional ones
04:37So at the end the you live really
04:40divides the impacts
04:42Divide the electric ecological impacts by more than four compared to any electric electrical cars, sorry
04:50We've got a LCA evaluation that's evaluated. It's under 10 grams of CO2 per kilometers for the real lifetime of
04:58the vehicle
05:00And of course, it also divides the the cost of usage for the for the for the the owner of
05:06the car
05:07And we communicate on 2.5 a division of 2.5, but it will
05:14improve with time with the volumes of the vehicle
05:18Well, that's a great idea
05:20But then I mean at least I find this this is a great idea, but then how do we?
05:29Bring it to Europe and
05:30scale
05:31This subject we've got two main layers for that
05:37the first one is
05:39We create the vehicle, but we build it in distributed factories
05:44It will be very simple factories only assembling the vehicle
05:49It's a vehicle with 400 parts
05:51So if you compare to a traditional car more than 30,000
05:5530,000 parts it's much simpler than the traditional one
06:00So we create small factories with low capex
06:06Making it's more scalable than traditional
06:10Giga factories of course
06:13and
06:15Potentially creating jobs near the real usage of the car
06:19Maintaining it locally
06:21Assembling it locally
06:23Up to the to the end of life
06:27Last point, which is important of course for political reasons
06:31We create local jobs
06:32Qualified jobs, but also low qualified jobs because in remote areas
06:37Often one of their problems is people that are
06:41Excluded from mobility because of their low qualifications
06:50The second tip for us
06:53The second tip for us to scale is that we create an open source platform
06:57So of course
06:59We are
07:00Protecting some key aspects of the vehicle and we will open them to everybody under conditions
07:09The aim of that is to accelerate virality of course
07:13It's also
07:15Aiming at
07:17Easing the maintenance
07:19I mean in the worst case scenario if avatars not
07:23Able to maintain the vehicle itself
07:26The vendor the municipalities and corporate users may be able to create
07:32Themselves the the know-how inside their teams
07:36And the last point the last advantage of the open source strategy is that
07:41We open the vehicle to the to the public so we create a collective R&D
07:47And open the possibility to find the good ideas where they are and not
07:53Have to invest heavily alone in the R&D
07:57It also creates the possibility to address for example small markets based on a standard platform
08:04Making some
08:06Some sorry
08:09Some
08:11Economical cases for small markets where they are not possible if you are if you go along
08:17At the end our strategy is to be like
08:22Like Arduino sorry for the chips
08:25They create the open source
08:28Mother cards but they've got one proprietary chip inside
08:32The idea is to be at the heart of the platform not try to
08:36Bring all the economical benefits to assembly sharing the benefits but being at the heart of them of the system
08:49Well these are great ideas, but of course if it's just ideas that doesn't mean anything
08:55So we are a startup based in La Rochelle as it was said we have already more than 400
09:02Purchase intentions
09:03We have had already some pilots with the SNCF as he said but also with the ports of La Rochelle
09:11also with
09:11Some families in order to test and improve our existing prototypes
09:17We've got two prototypes that are already certified so able to be left to third parties for
09:25Experimentations and our objective now is to
09:31Sorry finish the the new prototype which will be the head of series and with a with a European certification
09:39in
09:392027 so our objective is really to be able to deliver the first vehicles by the end of next year
09:52Well at avatar we're convinced that the future is light I
09:57Can only invite you to come and test the future of mobility at La Rochelle
10:02We would be very glad glad to have you and I think everybody understands only once he drives the car
10:10Thank you very much for your attention, and of course, I'm happy to answer any question
10:25Question quick question can we have a microphone just use a one 30 seconds?
10:37You said no vendor lock
10:39So which OS like is there an autos are OS?
10:43That is open source that you can use no
10:46I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't understand your question so so you said no vendor lock
10:50So it's gonna be open for people so you need an operational system, which is like autos are compliant other
10:57Are there already operational systems that autos are compliant that you can use for the open sourceness or you need
11:03to create it from scratch?
11:04No, no, no, no, we are using existing as as much as possible
11:08We try to use existing things so software and hardware we try to integrate every
11:14Sorry existing things, but I mean if you're working on it
11:18Maybe that's interesting to discuss we've got a solution of course, but we're still we're still looking at the the
11:25definitive solutions
11:29What if possible I don't know maybe we can have a discussion afterwards if you want
11:37Thank you very much
