Project METRON 7: Highly efficient long range electric family car, connected to renewable power plants and local grid to make the dream of Sustainable energy circle come true! Metron 7 EV: 826 km (516 miles) on single charge with average speed of 72 km/h. https://eauto.si/en/metron7-2/ (1) DACIA SANDERO ELEKTRO converted won 1st place at Rallye Monte Carlo des energies nouvelles 2013 both in category "Electric vehicles" and "Consumption overall" https://eauto.si/en/dacia-sandero-elektro_e/ (2) Maxitherm: Metron institute partnered with MaxiTex GmbH and CH Müller for the EU´s Horizon 2020 project. The project received funding from the European Union`s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grand agreement No 733732. https://eauto.si/en/projects/maxitherm/ (3)

Resources needed
Financial resources were used from different sources: own, european (H2020), sponsorships, business partnerships. Human resources, they have permanently employed about 9 employees.
Evidence of success
Solar van: project, starting 1.3.2017 is a part of their broader project Sustainable energy cycle (SEC). It will have double battery, one permanently installed and other one removable as part of "Sustainable energy cycle". When equipped with both batteries, the range should reach 1000 km at moderate driving. Van will be powered by Mahle-Letrika 400V 80 kW motor/controller. SEC enables the management of energy storage in the microgrid and offers the possibility of storing electricity from RES.
Potential for learning or transfer
There is a potential of knowledge exchange and research, business cooperation.
