Institut for Energy Transition
Created in February 2014, VEDECOM is an Institute for Energy Transition ('ITE') that was established as part of the French government's 'Investment for the future plan'. The Institute is dedicated to individual, carbon-free and sustainable mobility. It forms part of the 'Autonomous vehicle plan', which was recently incorporated into the Solution for future industry programme, Eco-mobility, both of which are part of the government's plan to invigorate the country's industry, called 'Nouvelle France Industrielle'.
The aim of VEDECOM is to become an operational player in terms of innovation, research and training applied to sustainable modes of transport and mobility while generating business and creating jobs.
In order to bring together all those who form part of our Institute and to quickly identify solutions for the mobility challenges of the future, we share a number of common values:
cooperation, innovation and competitiveness.
VEDECOM responds to the challenges posed by the autonomous vehicle and mobility in the future

VEDECOM, a research ecosystem unparalleled in France
« For VEDECOM, it is a matter of preparing the changes that shall take place on a global level in the world of transport while making individual, autonomous,
shared, responsible and sustainable mobility a reality. »
Antoine Mullender – VEDECOM CEO.
Supported by the competitive cluster, Mov'eo, since 2010 and by its founders*, VEDECOM is a partnership-based foundation that belongs to Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The Institute's 40 members, which comprise firms in the automotive and aerospace sectors, mobility ecosystem infrastructure and service operators, academic research bodies and Ile-de-France local authorities, work together in an unparalleled manner.
VEDECOM aims to become the leading institute for autonomous and connected vehicles and their uses and, in the long term, to set new standards in order to bring about changes to regulations and standards at national and European level. It aims to become a French technological research institute of global repute within its areas of activity and research by drawing on its multidisciplinary fields of expertise and the undertaking of experiments by its institutional partners.
Domains
Programmes
Our ITE must become a centre of excellence whose main purpose is the development of industry and/or services through the grouping and strengthening of public and private research teams. The Institute covers the entire innovation process, including demonstration and industrial prototyping. In order to fulfil our ambition of becoming a European leader, we focus our research on the following three areas:
Three fields of research
Shared mobility and energy
Driving delegationand connectivity

The aim of this field of research is to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and the emissions of individual combustion-engine vehicles and to allow the French car industry, through the use of new technology, to scale up the production of electric and hybrid cars by a factor of 1,000. Thanks to new mechatronic technology, the car industry will be able to turn out these vehicles in their millions and no longer in their hundreds or thousands.
Vehicle electrification
The aim of this field of research is to introduce major technological breakthroughs in the way vehicles, which are becoming increasingly automated, are used. Another aim is to significantly improve the safety and flow of traffic, by introducing vehicles that foster new types of use (multimodality, automatic parking, etc.) and by making the latter very attractive. The challenge is to offer a sustainable mode of transport that is entirely safe, turning time wasted in traffic jams into time that can be used. This requires research on vehicle equipment and software but also on acceptability within society and regulations.
Driving delegation and
connectivity
The aim of this field of research is to share roads better, optimise parking space and manage electric (or 'plug-in') vehicle battery charging systems by developing digital mobility services (traffic forecasting, dynamic carpooling, etc.). These services are likely to encourage new uses that are more environmentally-friendly and to have a positive impact on household budgets thanks to the development of multimodal travel and the sharing of vehicles (carsharing, carpooling). Upstream of these actions, research is being carried out by a 'new usage laboratory' to observe and analyse mobility on the ground.
Shared mobility and energy
As a foundation, the VEDECOM Institute is governed by a board of directors constituted by the founders and donors.
The Board delegates governance to a Bureau, which is chaired by Guillaume Devauchelle. He relies on a Strategic and Scientific Orientation Advisory Committee (COSS) and three domain
committees that correspond to the Institute's three fields of research.
The operational department, under the responsibility of Antoine Mullender, is articulated around three programmes: Vehicle , Eco-Mobility and Training.

The Institute's strength lies in its ability to get private sector and public sector players with a high level of expertise to cooperate so that they can develop, together, new technologies that respond to the mobility challenges of the future.
A new research model to make progress together
For industrial partners• Build, with VEDECOM, future mobility scenarios • Strengthen technological expertise and train employees • Optimise Research & Development costs • Make use of test platforms
For academic partners • Support research on applied technology projects• Benefit from test sites and equipment • Involve VEDECOM in French and European projects • Develop training courses in our three strategic areas
For local authority partners• Help entrench innovation in sustainable personal mobility • Boost the appeal of the regions with regards to development • Benefit from experiments

In collaboration with
Institut for Energy Transition
Our aim is to bring all employees together on a single site which contains the Institute's innovation, validation and research resources.
Currently and until 2016, VEDECOM is located at 77 rue des Chantiers, Versailles. All of the teams will move to the Satory site in 2017.
