The partnership aims to accelerate the implementation of innovative, connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) through the following three goals:
By 2030, the partnership aims to have demonstrated inclusive, user-oriented and well-integrated mobility concepts with increased safety and a reduced carbon footprint. Its goal is to make Europe a world leader in the deployment of CCAM.
The CCAM Partnership's activities are structured around 7 clusters, organising the R&I actions by aligning deployment readiness with road users and operators, policy-makers, and industry:
As a co-programmed partnership, the CCAM call topics are fully integrated in the regular Horizon Europe cluster 5 work programme. These topics contribute to achieving the objectives of this co-programmed partnership.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
