EU Projects

In cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb, Novatec d.o.o. has been developing an electrified multifunctional low-floor vehicle for three years. Prototyping is underway in two variants, a 20-seat minibus and a delivery vehicle of the same dimensions. It is an M2 category vehicle, powered by a battery-powered electric motor and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The main goal of the project is the pre-commercial development of MUNIVO vehicles, and strengthening the capacity of users for research, development, and innovation, through improving cooperation with the academic community, primarily with project partners. The specific goal is that the research and development activities result in a new product, ie the MUNIVO vehicle, which is an innovative multifunctional low-floor electric vehicle intended for public passenger transport or delivery of goods.

Within the call for project proposals “INNOVATION VOUCHERS FOR SMEs” funded by the Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Crafts, and in cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, the company Novatec d.o.o. implemented the project “Development of parking ramp management system”. The main goal of the project was to test an innovative parking ramp management system. The project was successfully carried out, and through the above tests and advanced training of employees, it enabled easier use and administration of the mentioned system.

Within the call for project proposals “INNOVATION VOUCHERS FOR SMEs” funded by the Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship, and Crafts, and in cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb, Novatec d.o.o. realized the project “Comparison and possibility of implementation of different technologies of polymer and composite materials for a new product”. The main goal of the project was to educate employees and prepare studies in the field of material selection and processing in the field of small shipbuilding, all for the purpose of making a new product with built-in elements that the company has been successfully making for years. The project was successfully implemented, and in addition to the above studies and training, employees got acquainted with the advantages and disadvantages, characteristics, but ultimately also the methods of care.
