Large-scale demonstration of Heavy-Duty Battery Electric Vehicles towards long-haul logistics operations (2ZERO Partnership)
Funds large fleet demonstrations of up to a hundred heavy-duty battery electric trucks running long-haul logistics across at least four EU corridors.
Beyond running the vehicle fleets themselves, proposals need to build a competition-compliant system for pooling and sharing HD-BEV fleet data across operators -- so-called data labs -- potentially publishing some of it as open, FAIR data and building on the EU's common mobility data space, with new AI-based tools for both on-board and remote fleet monitoring built on top of that shared data. The …
The Commission wants large-scale demonstrations of Heavy-Duty Battery Electric Vehicles equipped with Megawatt Charging Systems, run by multiple transport operators including SMEs, on long-haul routes averaging 600km or more, for over twelve months. It wants proposals to cover at least four European corridor segments in at least four Member States or Associated Countries, and to develop digital fleet-management and data-sharing tools alongside the demo.
