Zero Emission flexible vehicle platforms with modular powertrains serving the long-haul Freight Eco System

Description du projet

Comment améliorer davantage le transport électrique long-courrier de marchandises en Europe?

Les véhicules électriques à batterie (VEB) et les véhicules électriques à pile à combustible (VEPC) sont des technologies automobiles «propres» qui contribueront à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ils doivent toutefois devenir plus abordables, plus fiables et plus efficaces sur le plan énergétique, en plus d’afficher une plus grande autonomie par charge et des temps de charge réduits. Le projet ZEFES, financé par l’UE, fera entrer le transport long-courrier décarboné de marchandises en Europe dans une nouvelle ère. Il réalisera des démonstrations en conditions réelles de VEB et de VEPC long-courrier dans toute l’Europe. ZEFES cartographiera également les points de recharge et de ravitaillement et proposera de nouvelles idées de recharge. De nouveaux outils de gestion des flottes seront mis à disposition afin de soutenir le nombre croissant de VEB et de VEPC long-courrier sur nos routes.

Objectif

Long-haul BEVs and FCEVs need to become more affordable and reliable, more energy efficient, with a longer range per single charge, and a reduced charging time to meet the user’s needs. Next to those, there is a real need to take zero-emission long-haul goods transport in Europe to the next level by executing real-world demonstrations of BEVs and FCEVs spread all over Europe; this also requires that technology soon can deliver on promised benefits (easy handling, similar driving hours & charging/fueling, and high speeds, and ability to operate in complex transport supply chains); flexible and abundant charging points for the rising number of vehicles must be implemented fast and to support this, novel charging concepts are needed. In addition, as multiple needs in the logistics chain exist, require novel tools for fleet managers providing them with better information on ZEV in logistic operation, providing a twin of the real use thereby giving valuable information regarding predictive maintenance, eco-driving etc., providing information on better logistics planning, the (available) charging and refuelling along the route, access to roads and traffic information.

ZEFES major outcomes: Executing of real-world demonstrations of long-haul BEVs and FCEVs across Europe to take zero-emission long-haul goods transport in Europe to the next level. Pathway for long-haul BEVs and FCEVs to become more affordable and reliable, more energy efficient, with a longer range per single charge and reduced charging times able to meet the user’s needs. Technologies which can deliver promised benefits (easy handling, similar driving hours & charging/fueling, high speeds and ability to operate in complex transport supply chains). Mapping of flexible and abundant charging/fueling points and novel charging concepts. Novel tools for fleet management to support the rising number of long-haul BEVs and FCEVs vehicles in the logistics supply chains.
