European Innovation funding for Road Transport Electrification - Achievements, Impacts and Identification of White Spots in R&D

From: 9:30AM to 1:00PM
Place: Room Mezzanine 6

Under Horizon 2020 and the previous European Research and Innovation Framework Programme, more than 140 projects on road transport electrification have been funded by the European Commission in the context of the European Green Cars/Vehicles Initiative EGVI cPPP. In this workshop, an insight into the achievements as well as the mid- and long term impacts of those projects is given. In order to tackle existing challenges towards the implementation of a sustainable and competitive Transport System in Europe and to achieve the European climate targets in the transport sector, further research and innovation is needed. A useful tool for the identification of future research needs is the European Roadmap Electrification of Road Transport edited by the European Technology Platforms ERTRAC, EPoSS and ETIP SNET. Matching results and contents of closed and ongoing funded projects with the topics of the roadmap can reveal white spots and therewith priorities as well as new topics, for which research needs still exist. The identification and specification of research topics priorities is essential for the planning of future funding policies in the area of road transport electrification and the decarbonization of the European transport system.
The workshop will be embedded in the EVS-32 conference and is organized by the EU funded project FUTURE-RADAR, support action for the European Green Vehicles Initiative cPPP.
