This year’s call will be focused on three topics: Public Transport, Urban Logistics, and Electrification of Transport and Alternative Fuels. The call is for SMEs, universities, research and technology organisations, or large businesses, established in a Member State of the […]
New study: The electric vehicle value chain in Catalonia
The study addresses the current transformation of the automotive sector in Catalonia due to the impact that new mobility trends are generating. EIT Urban Mobility is one of the different social and economic agents representing the sector that has collaborated in the study, along with many other companies and institutions in the Catalan territory, covering […]
EUAEVC
Elonroad will test their automated electric vehicle (EV) point-to-point charging solution through a commercial urban logistics project, in collaboration with tele-driving specialists, Elmo, based in Estonia. This testing will verify both the efficacy of the solution, and the pre-market improvements, showcasing the superior capabilities of fully automated, road-based charging in supporting automated (and other) electric […]
MiGriS
The Micromobility Grid Solutions (MiGriS) project consists of a system integrating different light electric vehicles (LEVs), a swappable battery system and a battery charging station. Within MiGris, consortium members test sustainable and efficient urban mobility solutions through integrable battery and vehicle stations, as well as modular and circular battery systems. The project combines microgrid charging […]
EVOSS
The EVOSS project introduces an innovative robotic charging device equipped with a high-capacity battery and one rapid charging plug. The robotic device can provide flexible electric vehicle charging inside parking areas, by moving to the precise location of the parked electric vehicle. In this way, the possibility to significantly reduce infrastructure costs is being provided. […]
UMC – second year
Available charging infrastructure is a major concern both for cities and for electric vehicle (EV) users. 33 million EV owners in Europe will need efficient charging by 2030. We aim to propose commercial enablers for new innovative EV charging solutions that will fit with the surrounding urban environment. Urban Mobile Charging is creating “NIMBEE”, a […]
PowerManagement – second year
PowerManagement is a custom-designed energy management software platform for the efficient charging of electric vehicles in public, corporate or residential garages. The system enables fleet managers, site operators and other clients to set up intelligent charging strategies to optimise costs and increase clean energy use. PowerManagement will address the current bottlenecks and provide sustainable one-stop-shop […]
SELECTIVE
The decarbonisation of mobility is an urgent need of our society and, as the most extended solution currently being considered, the use of electric vehicles (EV) is expected to grow exponentially in the near future. This presents some challenges as current public charging infrastructure is insufficient to assume forecasted fleet growth and private chargers are […]
EV Charging From Lampposts
EV Charging From Lampposts will deploy and test electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations developed by the start-up SimpleCharge. These charging stations can be easily integrated into the infrastructure of street lampposts. The charging solution will be tested in several cities in Europe, focusing on providing electric vehicle charging solutions in residential areas where there are few […]
SEVES
The development of transport electrification means the unsustainable production of expensive batteries including the high consumption of raw materials and, at the end of the life of battery electric vehicles (BEV), their energy-intensive recycling. Sustainable electrified urban transport requires the provision of peak charging performance for shorter charging times. Extending battery life is offered as […]
H2GO
While electric battery vehicles are becoming a popular alternative to motorised vehicles, they still face some challenges in terms of range, cost, and limited charging infrastructure in some cities. Hydrogen fuel cell batteries could help to tackle these challenges. A consortia comprised of industry, local government and research partners will explore their use in urban light-duty electric […]
ECOSWAP
To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as air and noise pollution, the ECOSWAP project is promoting the uptake of e-motorbikes by offering a battery swapping system to existing and new motorbike riders. Instead of having to pay for the cost of the battery, the customer can choose to participate in the scheme to […]
Urban Mobile Charging (UMC)
By 2030, 33 million electrical vehicle owners in Europe will need efficient charging. UMC is creating an on-demand electric vehicle charging service called NIMBEE which will operate in Žilina, Slovakia; Riga, Latvia, and Braunschweig, Germany. Instead of drivers needing to locate a charging station, an autonomous battery-operated charging robot will go to them. Drivers will […]
PowerManagement
PowerManagement is a custom-designed digital platform that helps users manage efficient charging of electric vehicles (EV) in public, corporate or residential garages. Fleet managers, site operators and other clients can set up charging strategies to optimise costs and increase clean energy use. PowerManagement will address current bottlenecks and provide a one-stop-shop solution for operators […]
eUltimate
Battery electric buses are being launched in many cities, with multiple charging technologies and operational schemes available. Along the lifetime of a vehicle, different charging schemes have specific impact on the operating costs, allocation of public space and emissions. In general, the electrification of existing bus routes usually implies an increment in the number of vehicles and operating costs in comparison to conventional […]
