Joint EC / European Green Cars Initiative Workshop – October 2013

Electric Vehicle Systems Architecture and Standardization Needs

In continuation of a series of successful expert workshops bringing together the EV stakeholder community to engage in focused discussions of currently relevant R&I topics, an expert workshop on E/E architecture of electric vehicles and EV standardization needs will be held on 23 October 2013 in Brussels. This workshop is jointly organized by the European Commission and the European Technology Platforms ERTRAC and EPoSS in order to assess the research activities within the European Green Cars Initiative PPP and to directly collect feedback from the stakeholders regarding R&I strategies and funding policies. Current research projects will report on their results and future plans and experts will give their views on E/E reference architectures and voltage levels. A second focus will be testing and standardization of electric vehicles.
