Project Portfolio European Green Cars Initiative PPP Calls 2010 - 2013 E PoSS European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration Preface Aiming at economic recovery and the fight against climate change, the European Commission in response to the financial crisis of 2008 launched the European Green Cars Initiative, a Public- Private Partnership for research and development on zero emission, safe and efficient road vehicles and transportation. A total of 1 billion Euro was announced to be made available jointly by the European Union and the industry for collaborative research projects mainly in the field of electrification but also for developing novel solutions in long distance freight and logistics. At the side of the European Commission, the PPP European Green Cars Initiative has been implemented by the involved units of the Directorates General for Research, Information Society and Media (now DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology), Mobility, Environment as well as Enterprise and Industry. The industry has been included via three European Technology Platforms, namely the European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC), the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration (EPoSS), and the SmartGrids Platform. Forming an Industrial Advisory Group, members of these platforms edited a roadmap, at first on electrification, and later complemented by the other two technology fields, long distance freight and logistics. Moreover, a multi-annual plan prioritizing the topics for implementation in calls for proposals for the 7th Framework Programme has been presented. Four rounds of calls have been launched so far. The first, published in summer 2009, was mainly focused on components and architectures of the electric powertrain, electrochemical storage applications and demonstration of electric mobility. The second call, launched in 2010, dealt with the specific energy management, stability and safety issues of the electric vehicle as well as with system integration and manufacturing of batteries, the optimization of the internal combustion engine and efficiency gains in logistics. Moreover, a dedicated budget was made available for supporting a joint call of public authorities at member states and regional level in the framework of an ERA-Net Plus. The third call, opened in summer 2011, covered lightweight materials, power electronics, safety and durability and transport system integration. The fourth and final call for proposals of the PPP European Green Cars Initiative has been published in summer 2012. It called for projects dealing with improved battery materials, on-road charging, next generation electric motors, future light urban EVs, advanced system architecture and comprehensive energy management for FEVs. Topics in heavy duty transport and freight were configurable and adaptable trucks, high energy efficiency and connectivity. Furthermore, demonstrations of electric buses as urban public transport were called for. The brochure at hand contains portfolio of projects of the European Green Cars Initiative which have already started and also those that are in the final stages of negotiation. It shows that the roadblocks of electric vehicle development, energy storage, electric motors, safety and reliability, vehicle system integration and the connection to the power grid are being addressed in a coherent and targeted manner by consortia representing major companies from the European vehicle manufacturing, automotive supply as well as the electrical engineering and electronics sectors. It also makes obvious the important share of optimizing conventional powertrains and logistics in the European Green Cars Initiative. This document shall provide potential consortia of future projects with indications that may help to define their proposed work. At the same time, it shall help to compare the projects that have been implemented already with the recommendations made in the roadmaps in order to identify priorities for the next calls. The two Coordination Actions, CAPIRE and Smart EV-VC, supporting the PPP European Green Cars Initiative will continue to serve the community of the PPP European Green Vehicles Initiative in Horizon 2020 with information, dissemination and opportunities for networking, giving feedback and seeking advice. 1 2 Table of Projects Electrification Research & Innovation Directorate-General (DG RTD)
