FPT Software gets together with the Institute for Control Engineering and Automation in the field of electric vehicles

Recently, FPT Software (a subsidiary of FPT Corporation) and the Institute for Control Engineering and Automation (ICEA) (Hanoi University of Science and Technology- HUST) signed a cooperation agreement on electric vehicle (EV) technology research and development (R&D).

Accordingly, ICEA will build a strong research team to examine EV technologies, including EV fast charging, onboard chargers (OCB), DC/DC Converters, and the energy storage system (ESS) for electric vehicles. In return, FPT Software provides funding to support ICEA's research and scientific publications. On that basis, the two sides can develop cooperation options in R&D and the production of EV-related prototypes.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Nguyen Khai Hoan said the university and industry collaboration soon reaped rewards in other countries. FPT Software looked forward to this partnership to help nurture a high-quality workforce that meets industrial demands and productivity requirements.

"Teaming up plays a role in FPT Software's sustainable development orientation. It strengthens our capacity to master the higher stages in the value chain of the software industry, such as consultancy, design, and solution analysis, toward the model of a world-class billion-dollar tech giant", Mr. Hoan emphasized.
