H2020 TRANSPORT GREEN VEHICLES State-of-the-Art and beyond

Innovation and Networks Executive Agency 2 3 Foreword Foreword The EU is among the world’s biggest producers of motor vehicles and the sector represents the largest private investor in research and development. Currently, around 12 million people work in the EU automotive industry and it accounts for 4% of European GDP. Global sales of passenger cars in 2017 hit 77.7 million vehicles and these numbers are expected to grow. Compared to 2005, freight and passenger The funding covers areas such as Green Vehicles, transport activity are projected to increase automation, safety, and smart mobility. The aim around 80% and 51% respectively by 2050. is to decarbonise transport, reduce air pollution, increase efficiency of the transport system and However, these numbers come with a cost preserve the EU’s technological leadership in on air pollution, human health and on energy the automotive sector. dependency.

TOWARDS INEA’S THE GOAL ROLE OF GREEN VEHICLES

The Green Vehicle calls are an integral part of the Transport Work programme in Horizon 2020. Based INEA’s role in on research roadmaps defined in cooperation with Horizon 2020 transport the contractual public-private partnership European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI) as well as other research is essential, from stakeholders, calls focus on decarbonisation, energy efficiency of vehicles and alternative powertrains. evaluating proposals submitted against calls Research and Innovation activities address: published in the H2020 workprogramme, to the signature of the Grants, • new powertrains and vehicle technology improvements the monitoring of the projects, • electrification and battery developments feedback to the policy makers and • new vehicle architectures, weight reduction, improved aerodynamics and rolling resistance • component development for alternative fuel vehicles communication on successful • interfaces between the vehicle and the recharging infrastructure outcomes and results. • the implementation of tighter emission standards • demonstration of technologies to promote clean technologies in road transport.

HORIZON 2020

Since January 2014, INEA is managing programmes under the Horizon 2020 Societal Challenges ‘Smart, Green and Integrated Transport’ and ‘Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy’ with a total budget of €5.3 billion (€2.3 billion for transport and €3.0 billion for energy) to be granted by end 2020. With a €246 million budget that is available under the Green Vehicle calls in 2018-2020, INEA’s total contribution to the management of EU Green Vehicle projects since 2014 will amount to €616.5 million.

Promotion of a wide-market introduction of highly automated driving systems is the overall objective of the Automated Road Transport calls with an overall budget of €217 million since they were launched in 2016. Smart urban mobility, road safety and road infrastructure are also INEA supported in the Mobility for Growth calls. Innovation and Networks INEA supports Road Transport Executive Agency research together with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) and ADDITIONAL ROAD TRANSPORT Directorate-General for Mobility and FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES Transport (DG MOVE).
