The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
4Vehicle Design Summit (VDS)
o A Global Student-led Consortium
o Demonstrated a New Paradigm Collaboration
o Sustainably Leapfrogged New Technologies
o Developed on the M.I.T X-teams Model.
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
X-Teams Model
o Building teams that lead lead Innovate and Succeed
o Developed at M.I.T. by Prof. D. Ancona• Examined why traditional team models
failed• Inward focus more than outward focus
o X-teams;—External outreach to stake holders—Extensive ties—Expandable tiers—Extensive leadership and flexible membership

X-Teams Model
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
X-Teams Model
o X-teams Improve teams ability in;— Creative Idea Production— Idea execution
o Innovative capacity within organizations improved
o Emphasis on distributed leadershipo Succes stories include
—Miscrosoft Net-Gen team—Airline companies in the U.S.

11The Collaboration
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
The CAN Network
o Multiple Electrical Control Units (ECU)
o Control for Power Train and Body Electronics
o Two separate Bus Lines, the High Speed and Low Speed Bus connected in a linear CAN Topology.
o The Modules used CANopen-based I/O Subsystem, flashed into memory.

18The Final Concept
Modular Powero Auxiliary Power Unit Run on;
— hydrogen, compressed natural gas, methane ethanol,biodiesel
o Straight electricity
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
19The Final Concept
Hybrid Architecture
o Utilization of electric motoro Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to maximize fuel
efficiency and optimize vehicle performance.
o Fuel economy achieved primarily through 3 mechanisms:• Reducing wasted energy during idle/low output• Recapturing waste energy (e.g. regenerative
braking) • Reducing the size and power of the APU

The Prototype 20
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
The Africa(uganda)-MIT team
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
Work Done by Uganda team
o Development of the entire power train and the Data Networking hub (Control area network) CAN for the prototype.
o Set up a Centre for Research in Transportation Technologies (CRTT)
22
The Fully Networked Car Geneva, 3-4 March 2010
Way forward
o Adopting the X-teams model to leapfrog into new market
o Starting with conversion of existing vehicles in people’s current consumption
o Exploring new virgin markets such as Africa and setting up base there
o Industries should be located in populous countries such as China and Africa-cheap labour costs
o First models should be for public transportation
