Strategies, tools and concepts for optimised road Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) long-haul logistics use cases (2ZERO Partnership)
Pays one project up to EUR 5 million to build digital tools and operating models that make heavy-duty electric trucks work for long-haul freight across Europe.
The Commission expects around half a million heavy-duty battery-electric trucks to be running on European roads within the decade, but their use today stays largely confined to short, repetitive routes. This topic asks proposals to draw lessons from current long-haul missions along major road arteries such as the Trans-European Transport Network corridors and nodes, and to build cost-effective log…
The Commission wants logistics models and digital planning tools that let heavy-duty battery-electric trucks handle long-haul freight missions across the EU and Associated Countries, balancing vehicle range, charging time and total cost of ownership. Proposals should build on real fleet-operator data, test new operational concepts in at least eight different long-haul missions including cross-border routes, and develop digital tools supporting interoperable cross-border charging.
