提供高达1500万美元用于交通运输创新

The SMUD 董事会 took a bold step toward fostering innovation in the region by formally approving its Founding Membership in the California 流动性 Center, including an initial investment of $5 million to establish the Center.  An additional $10 million will be made available once matching funds are committed by other partners.

The California 流动性 Center is a joint initiative between SMUD and local and regional institutions, including: the Los Rios Community College District; California State University, Sacramento; University of California, Davis; Valley Vision; 萨克拉门托市; and, 大萨克拉门托经济委员会, 建设世界一流的, electric vehicle prototyping facility that will develop and promote electric and autonomous vehicle technologies in the greater Sacramento region.

“The California 流动性 Center is envisioned as a public-private consortium that will bring together technology companies, 汽车制造商, 公用事业公司, 企业家, 顶尖的研究人员, and investors to provide innovative products and services in the rapidly expanding mobility market.  The Sacramento region is uniquely positioned to leverage public policy, 研究, electric vehicle expertise and advanced manufacturing as we position Sacramento as a leader in clean transportation.  The California 流动性 Center will help redefine our region, 刺激官方十大网投网址, and provide new workforce opportunities throughout our region,SMUD首席执行官兼总经理Arlen Orchard说.

This 流动性 Center will be a financially sustainable policy and technology focused consortium, comprising of public and private entities collaborating to:

• Promote the development of clean transportation and autonomous vehicle technology to cut emissions.
• Accelerate the commercialization of electric mobility technologies and services.
• Facilitate development of open-sourced standards and policies for connected and autonomous vehicles.
• Establish a mobility network in Sacramento that will provide an innovative environment for new and prospering companies, 企业家, 先进技术和投资者.
• 进行高级研究, development and demonstration projects that can be quickly commercialized for worldwide adoption of electric mobility.

The Center will tie together with the Autonomous Transportation Open Standards (“ATOS”) Lab, launched by the 萨克拉门托市 in 2017 to develop regulations and standards for autonomous vehicles.  PEM Motion and Ener科技 Capital are key industry partners supporting the Center.

PEM Motion is a German engineering consulting group that has successfully launched a prototyping facility in Aachen Germany for the automotive mobility sector, creating a revival of manufacturing and technology jobs in that city.  PEM Motion has demonstrated that their approach can assist with commercialization of technologies twice as fast as traditional automotive practices for one tenth of the cost.  一旦在这里站稳脚跟, 该中心将支持, 资助和商业化新的电动交通技术, 包括电动汽车, 自治区交通运输, 电池存储, 共享移动解决方案, 公共交通, and new business and policy models for adoption on the international stage.

The goals and purpose of the Center in promoting electric mobility and related technologies directly support SMUD’s recent adoption of one of the most aggressive integrated resource plans in the country that puts SMUD on the path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

The initial investment from SMUD will provide the necessary capital to recruit other Founding Members, and support third-party contracts required to establish Center operations, including planning for the construction of an advanced electric mobility technology prototyping and testing facility in Sacramento.

SMUD has already funded two feasibility studies to support the development of the California 流动性 Center and has garnered international interest from potential investors.
