AAPS CDT Novus

Hello and welcome to a page showcasing the work done to propose a spiritual succesor to the Prius for 2030: The Novus. The vehicle was proposed at the start of 2021 after an investigation into the 2015 Toyota Prius plug-in model revealed a number of opportunities. The work shown below is the result of work done by AAPS CDT Cohort 2 to confirm those opportunities were both technologically valid and presented sufficient additional value to the customer to make a valid business proposition.

Please enjoy the posters below showcasing the work done by the team on the battery, eco-feedback, vehicle dynamics, safety subsystems and more. There is also a link at the bottom which will take you to a web app running an overview of our main Simulink model and thus enable you to see the performance of the Novus yourself in Various drive cycles.

Usage Guidance: Click on the posters to enlarge, then either pinch to zoom if using a touch device (laptop trackpad/tablet), or right click and open the image in a new tab to see full size. Finally clicking again on the enlarged image will return you to the page.
