Horizon High-Voltage Heavy-Duty Electric Powertrains
Funds two €8M Innovation Actions that make electric heavy-duty vehicles more efficient, modular and ready for megawatt charging.
Heavy-duty battery-electric vehicles need lower costs, faster charging and systems that can serve many demanding use cases. This topic funds Innovation Actions that develop and demonstrate modular high-voltage powertrains for commercial vehicles, with voltages above 800V and compatibility with Megawatt Charging Systems.
Projects should simplify system configurations while improving efficiency and…
Developing and demonstrating modular post-800V powertrains for Heavy-Duty Vehicles compatible with Megawatt Charging Systems. Projects improve energy efficiency, charging losses, safety, modularity, thermal management, interfaces, component life, second-life battery potential and lifecycle cost, with vehicle demonstrations in relevant environments and outcomes reaching TRL 7.
