Integrated flexible multipoint megawatt charging systems for electric truck mass deployment (2ZERO Partnership)

  • Coordinators: European comission
  • Opening of application: 7 December 2023
  • Allocated budget: 7 000 000€ - 8 000 000€
  • End of applications: 18 April 2024
  • Project duration: 36 to 48 months
  • Project submitted on: Appel à projet

This call for projects is part of the Horizon Europe funding programme.

Objective

The development of multiple recharging centres to enable large-scale deployment of these vehicles by 2030. Limited optimisation of on-board systems may be included if properly justified.

Priorities

Every charger of these charge center will be used by many vehicles more light of less power (150-350 kW) during peak periods. This will need also concepts of topologies able to host a heavy vehicle or 4 to 6 light vehicles in every charge point :

  • Consider demands along main RRTE-T corridors, taking considerations of extreme weather conditions, as well as possibilities of energies share and balancing in the studies areas, location of logistics terminals and roads relay with warehouse for night recharging of trucks, bus and construction equipment, parking…
  • Contribution to member States cards and countries associated with refills demands sum and planned location of charging stations at high power as well as contributions of network operators on local and regional conditions of electric system.
  • Interoperable protocols mut not hinder universal use on different countries.
  • Identification and analysis of regulatory aspects and potential obstacles for activities of relevant standardisation are encouraged.
  • Tolls developed must permit to map optimal locations for an infrastructure of fast recharge and high power.
  • Offer planification information, including to developers of targeted infrastructure.
  • To optimise global use of system, services and tools must be develop taking account on-board EVs system features.

Eligibility

Every candidate must be a legal entity, in others words a physical and moral legal people with a legal personnality. She must be etablished on territory of one member States of UE or on one of them ultra-marine territory. Otherwise, she must be etablished on one of Horizon Europe program “Member States” or a medium or low income State.

Every consortium must be composed of at least three independent eligible legal entities, including at least one must be localise on UE member States and at least two others must be etablished each on UE member State or different associated States.

Activities must reach the TRL 8 by the end of the project.
