Zero-emission road transport (2ZERO)

Zero-emission road transport (2ZERO)

Partnership website: https://www.2zeroemission.eu/

The 2ZERO partnership aims to accelerate the development of zero emission transport in Europe. Its activities are organised around four strongly interconnected pillars:

  • Vehicle technologies and vehicle propulsion solutions for BEV and FCEV
  • The integration of BEV into the energy system and related charging infrastructure
  • Innovative concepts, solutions and services for the zero tailpipe emission mobility of people and goods
  • LCA and circular economy approaches for sustainable and innovative road mobility solutions

the full overview of Research & innovation activities for 2021 to 2027 can be found in the 2Zero Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda

The European Green Vehicle initiative association (EGVIA) is the main driver behind this partnership and groups 124 members from the world of business, research and innovation.

What are partnerships?

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.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

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.
