PLD Space has achieved 120 million euros in funding to date

Since its foundation, the company has obtained 78 million in funding, in addition to the 42 million awarded by the Plan for Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) for the Spanish space launcher.

The funds will mainly be allocated to create the first Spanish factory producing space rockets in series, located in Elche (Spain), as well as to expand the team in the areas of production, supply chain and quality.

Furthermore, the company will be multiplying by five its capacity to test integrated engines and launchers, thereby boasting the biggest private infrastructure in Europe for designing, manufacturing, testing and launching space rockets.

PLD Space is continuing to work with the French Space Agency CNES to build the MIURA 5 launch base in French Guiana this year.

CRISALION y TECNALIA presentan en Mubil Mobility Expo sus vehículos de conducción remota y automatizada para la movilidad del futuro

jueves, 18 de abril de 2024

A través de una combinación de inteligencia y conducción automatizada local, manejo remoto de vehículos y seguimiento automatizado de vehículos en modo convoy, desarrollan nuevas tecnologías para impulsar un sector seguro, eficiente, inteligente y sostenible

Irún, 17 de abril de 2024. CRISALION, compañía referente en el diseño y desarrollo de soluciones de movilidad eléctrica avanzada, eficiente, segura y sostenible, y el centro de investigación aplicada y desarrollo tecnológico TECNALIA han presentado su tecnología Intellydrive, basada en la teleoperación y conducción automatizada a varios vehículos en convoy, en Mubil Mobility Expo, el mayor foro del sur de Europa en movilidad sostenible, que se celebra desde hoy y hasta mañana en el recinto ferial de Gipuzkoa FICOBA. CRISALION y TECNALIA colaboran con el objetivo de desarrollar tecnologías para la movilidad del futuro que harán posible un sector seguro, eficiente, inteligente y sostenible.

Esta tecnología Intellydrive, en el caso de la movilidad terrestre, combina tecnologías de conducción remota con soluciones de conducción automatizada que permite a los conductores, desde un centro de control, manejar de forma remota los vehículos sin limitación de distancia. Además, se complementa con tecnologías que permiten una conducción automatizada en formación de convoy, también conocido como Platooning. La tecnología permite que dos o más vehículos circulen juntos de forma coordinada y formando un convoy, sin requerir asistencia. El vehículo líder es controlado de forma local o remota, mientras que los situados detrás le siguen de forma automatizada y sin intervención humana.

A través de estas tecnologías, CRISALION y TECNALIA trabajan en vehículos eficientes y eléctricos operados de forma remota con la última tecnología de comunicaciones e interacción natural, diseñados para diferentes operaciones y escenarios de actividad: el transporte de personas y cargo en puertos, transporte en aeropuertos, zonas comerciales e industriales, taxis a demanda, turismo y tours turísticos; logística industrial; entrega de última milla; o reparto en zonas definidas, entre otras soluciones.

Gracias a la inteligencia integrada y a los sistemas de percepción avanzada del entorno incorporados en el vehículo, disponen de capacidad de conducción semiautónoma, con posibilidad de evolucionar hacia un funcionamiento totalmente autónomo cuando la normativa y legislación lo permitan.

Según Mikel Sánchez, director de Movilidad de TECNALIA: “queremos impulsar el sector y ayudar a las empresas a ser más competitivas, con la innovación y la tecnología como herramientas para abordar los retos de movilidad sostenible, cero emisiones y vehículo conectado y autónomo, tanto en el entorno de la fabricación como en el de las infraestructuras asociadas”.

Por su parte, Oscar Lara Rapp, director de Operaciones de CRISALION: “estamos comprometidos en dar un paso más hacia la movilidad del futuro a través de la combinación de tecnologías de conducción remota con soluciones de conducción automatizada para alcanzar una forma de desplazarnos más eficiente y sostenible”.

TECNALIA en Mubil Mobility Expo

Junto al puesto de teleoperación para la conducción de vehículos en remoto y soluciones de automatización, TECNALIA cuenta en su stand con un simulador de conducción. Se trata de una plataforma integral de desarrollo de la Movilidad Cooperativa, Conectada y Automatizada, que funciona no solo como herramienta de validación tecnológica, sino también como instrumento para evaluar la aceptación por parte de los usuarios de estos sistemas.

Crisalion Mobility se asocia con Kookiejar para el desarrollo de vertipuertos

Esta colaboración marca un hito significativo en la expansión y evolución de la movilidad aérea en entornos urbanos

Madrid, 11 de abril de 2024 — Crisalion Mobility, compañía española de referencia en el diseño y desarrollo de soluciones de movilidad eléctrica avanzada eficiente, segura y sostenible, ha anunciado la firma de un acuerdo estratégico con Kookiejar [https://kookiejar.com/], desarrollador sueco de vertipuertos con amplia experiencia en el desarrollo de soluciones de movilidad aérea. El propósito de este acuerdo es colaborar en el desarrollo de vertipuertos, infraestructuras esenciales para el despegue y aterrizaje de vehículos aéreos de despegue y aterrizaje vertical (eVTOL).

Las dos compañías se unen para elaborar un plan de acción y una hoja de ruta, que determinen una serie de objetivos alineados, necesarios para el desarrollo del proyecto. De esta forma, analizarán las sinergias posibles entre el eVTOL Integrity y los vertipuertos de Kookiejar y la eficiencia de las operaciones de Crisalion Mobility en estos vertipuertos. Unas operaciones que incluirán carga, emergencias sanitarias, misiones urbanas, regionales y turísticas.

Por otra parte, un foco importante de este acuerdo es el desarrollo de estrategias para minimizar el impacto medioambiental del proyecto, mejorar la eficacia de los procesos, y cumplir con los estándares de sostenibilidad. Se implementarán programas conjuntos de formación para el personal de ambas firmas y se investigarán posibles tecnologías futuras que puedan mejorar aún más la eficiencia y la seguridad de las operaciones de movilidad aérea en el contexto del proyecto.

Esta colaboración entre Crisalion Mobility y Kookiejar marca un hito significativo en la expansión y evolución de la movilidad aérea en entornos urbanos. Abre, además, nuevas posibilidades para la integración de vehículos aéreos en la infraestructura de transporte global, inaugurando así una nueva era en la movilidad aérea urbana. La cooperación se revela como clave para alcanzar soluciones sostenibles y revolucionarias. Ambas compañías aportarán su experiencia única para crear soluciones innovadoras y seguras que faciliten la implementación efectiva de vertipuertos en todo el mundo.

Inspirado en el concepto sueco de IKEA, el método de construcción modular de vertipuertos de Kookiejar permite a las empresas, las ciudades y municipios convertir sus inmuebles comerciales en plataformas de despegue y aterrizaje y formar una eficiente red de vertipuertos. Las soluciones de bajo coste de Kookiejar ofrecen flexibilidad para desplegar la red de vertipuertos, con el objetivo de minimizar las tasas de aterrizaje, haciendo posible la movilidad aérea para todos.

"Seguimos creciendo con socios de relevancia en este fascinante proyecto. La colaboración con Kookiejar nos permite aprovechar la experiencia técnica y la visión compartida para impulsar el desarrollo de vertipuertos de manera segura y eficiente. Juntos, estamos allanando el camino hacia una movilidad aérea que transformará las ciudades y la vida de las personas", dijo Óscar Lara Rapp, COO de Crisalion Mobility.

"Este acuerdo representa una fusión de ideas e innovación. La tecnología de movilidad aérea está experimentando un cambio revolucionario, y estamos entusiasmados de ser parte de esta transformación junto a Crisalion Mobility. Nuestra experiencia técnica complementaria permitirá el diseño y la construcción de vertipuertos que cumplirán con los más altos estándares de seguridad y eficiencia", comentó Kim Silander, fundador de Kookiejar.

Aerospace & Defense Meetings-ADM Sevilla 2024 cuenta con 205 empresas inscritas de 24 países, a más de un mes de su celebración

Nota de prensa

https://www.andaluciatrade.es/noticias/adm-sevilla-2024-cuenta-con-205-empresas-inscritas-noticias-abril-2024/

Andalucía TRADE y BCI Aerospace organizan la 7º edición de la cita entre el 14 y el 16 de mayo, que refuerza su carácter internacional, con un 70% de los contratistas (OEM) extranjeros

Las exportaciones del sector aeronáutico se multiplican por 11 en el primer mes del año 2024 hasta los 490 millones de euros.

Aerospace & Defense Meetings-ADM Sevilla 2024 ha alcanzado ya las 205 empresas inscritas de 24 países diferentes, cuando aún queda un mes y una semana para su celebración, que tendrá lugar entre el 14 y 16 de mayo en Fibes. Unas cifras de participación que demuestran el interés que despierta en la industria mundial este evento bienal, ampliamente consolidado en su duodécimo aniversario, como el de referencia en España y el más importante del sur de Europa para explorar las oportunidades de negocio del sector aeroespacial, situando a Andalucía como punto estratégico de un circuito de negocio que se desarrolla a escala mundial.

En este sentido, los primeros datos de registro de la séptima edición de ADM Sevilla contabilizan hasta 162 firmas inscritas con carácter de expositoras, de las que 73 proceden de otros países. Unas cifras cuantitativas de relevancia, que se unen a unos registros cualitativos del máximo interés, toda vez que hasta el 70% de las compañías inscritas con perfil de contratistas (OEMs), también tienen su sede en mercados extranjeros (30 de 43), lo que refuerza el carácter internacional del evento.

La cita está organizada por la Consejería de Economía, hacienda y Fondos Europeos, a través de Andalucía TRADE, y por la empresa BCI Aerospace, especialista en reuniones internacionales del sector. Igualmente, cuenta con los principales fabricantes de la industria europea, española y andaluza: Airbus, el mayor fabricante europeo del sector, como socio principal del certamen; con Aciturri, como patrocinador platinum; y Aernnova, Aertec, Capgemini, Gazc, Grupo Sevilla Control, Sofitec y Utingal, como patrocinadores gold.

Igualmente, ADM Sevilla cuenta con la colaboración, como apoyos institucionales, del resto de agentes de la industria española, a través de Tedae (Asociación Española de Empresas Tecnológicas, de Defensa, Aeronáutica y Espacio), y la andaluza, con Andalucía Aerospace (clúster aeroespacial andaluz). Además, apoyan el evento CATEC-Centro Avanzado de Tecnologías Aeroespaciales y la Agencia Aeroespacial Española (AEE).

NEGOCIO EN 2024

ADM Sevilla viene a celebrarse con un magnífico inicio de año 2024 para el sector, que ha visto como en el mes de enero se han multiplicado sus exportaciones por 11 respecto a enero de 2023, hasta los 490 millones de euros; y tras cerrar 2023 con 2.094 millones en ventas internacionales. Unos datos que se unen a grandes cifras de pedidos internacionales de aviones y negocio anunciadas en los últimos meses. Que se traducirán en mayor facturación, exportaciones y empleo para la industria andaluza.

ADM Sevilla se configura, así, como el evento de negocios de referencia para el sector aeroespacial y de defensa de España. Su objetivo es incrementar la facturación del clúster aeroespacial andaluz y español, fijando a Andalucía como punto clave del mercado aeroespacial mundial e impulsando las oportunidades de crecimiento internacional para la industria aeroespacial de Andalucía y de España en general, en las ramas civil, militar y espacial.

La consejera de Economía, Carolina España, celebró las “significativas cifras de participación que congrega ADM Sevilla cuando aún falta más de un mes para su celebración, así como la importante presencia de grandes contratistas internacionales, que constituyen dos tercios del total, y de los dos mayores fabricantes del mundo, lo que subraya el reconocimiento de la cita que organizamos desde la Junta de Andalucía, como un evento de negocios de gran relevancia, que hace del clúster andaluz el anfitrión de la industria a nivel mundial”, añadió Carolina España.

“Esta cita impulsa el negocio de la industria aeroespacial andaluza, una industria competitiva que participa de algunos de los proyectos más importantes de la aviación mundial, como el A400M o el 320 de Airbus”.

“La próxima edición de ADM Sevilla ofrece a los profesionales de la cadena de suministro mundial una oportunidad excepcional de reunirse y colaborar en la búsqueda de nuevas vías de negocios. Y al celebrarse en Sevilla, la cita fortalece aún más la posición de Andalucía como epicentro del negocio aeroespacial de España”, subrayó finalmente Carolina España.

Según los últimos datos publicados por Andalucía Aerospace, el clúster aeroespacial andaluz cuenta con 143 empresas que generaron en 2022 una facturación de 2.356 millones de euros, un 17% más que en 2021; y 13.136 puestos directos (+8%). Además, el 88% de estas empresas están situadas en las provincias de Sevilla y Cádiz, aunque otras provincias como Málaga, Jaén, Huelva y Córdoba se están sumando en los últimos años con compañías y proyectos de importancia.

EMPRESAS INSCRITAS YA DE 24 PAÍSES

El plazo de inscripción en ADM 2024 está abierto en https://sevilla.bciaerospace.com/es/ Al igual que en las anteriores ediciones, la organización de ADM Sevilla 2024 por parte de Andalucía TRADE será cofinanciada con fondos procedentes de la Unión Europea, con cargo al Programa Operativo FEDER de Andalucía 2021-2027, dotado con una contribución comunitaria del 80%, o cualquier otro Programa Europeo susceptible de cofinanciar esta actuación.

Hasta la fecha, se han inscrito en esta nueva edición de ADM Sevilla un total de 205 empresas del sector aeroespacial, procedentes de hasta 24 países de cuatro continentes. De ellas, 162 participan como expositoras y 43 son contratistas.

De las empresas expositoras, 73 proceden del ámbito internacional, con una presencia destacada de firmas con sede en Francia (29), Italia (13), Alemania (7), Reino Unido (7) y EE. UU. (4).
