Spark EV Technology is pleased to announce its recent membership with the Global Alliance on AI for Industry and Manufacturing (AIM Global), a special initiative established by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). This collaborative effort brings together multiple companies from the technology and manufacturing sectors, aiming to foster industry collaboration in support of global sustainable development goals.
The widespread recognition of the potential of AI in industry, both in terms of opportunities and risks, has prompted the alliance to seek the commitment of its members to ensure transparent, accountable, and collaborative use of AI. Emphasizing the adherence to ethical standards and global regulations is also a key aspect of this initiative.
The technology developed by Spark EV Technology integrates advanced physics models and machine learning algorithms that utilize real-time vehicle and environmental data. Their objective is to enhance energy efficiency and provide personalized range prediction models for zero-emission vehicles, ultimately facilitating a smooth transition for manufacturers and fleets towards sustainable mobility.
In a recent partnership with mobility technology leader AVL, Spark EV Technology is focusing on expanding its technology from electric vehicles to hydrogen vehicles, particularly emphasizing fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) applications within the commercial vehicle market. Justin Ott, CEO of Spark EV Technology, expressed pride in the company’s involvement in the alliance and underscored their commitment to advancing the transition to zero-emission vehicles in alignment with the alliance’s sustainable development objectives.
Ana Paula Nishio, Chief of the Digital Transformation and AI Strategies Division of UNIDO, expressed her pleasure in welcoming Spark EV Technology to AIM Global. She emphasized that the mission of the alliance is to promote the use of AI for a higher purpose, moving beyond competitive motivations, with the goal of making AI a driving force for sustainable and inclusive development in accordance with the UN’s 2030 sustainable development goals.
This development holds significant importance for Spark EV Technology and the entire industry, as it signifies a continued dedication to innovation and collaboration towards achieving sustainable mobility.
