E-VOLVE Cluster on collaborative innovation for sustainable E-Mobility at TRA 2024

We are happy to announce the publication titled “E-VOLVE Cluster: Increasing Innovation Efficiency to Support the Transition Toward Sustainable e-mobility”, presented at the TRA 2024 conference and now openly available. This comprehensive paper, developed in collaboration between key Horizon Europe projects— EM-TECH , HiPE, Multi-Moby, SCAPE, RHODaS, and HighScape—highlights the power of coordinated R&D efforts under the 2ZERO partnership to drive the European transition to sustainable electric mobility.

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by ambitious emission reduction targets such as the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal. With the number of electric vehicle models rising from 50 in 2018 to over 250 expected by 2025, and BEVs approaching 10% market share in Europe by 2021, this transition demands innovative, affordable, and user-friendly solutions.

The E-VOLVE cluster addresses these challenges by combining expertise across multiple projects, each targeting critical technologies such as power electronics, electric motors, control strategies, and circular economy principles. The publication emphasizes four key needs for accelerating e-mobility adoption: developing technology solutions that meet evolving user and market demands, ensuring high comfort and safety, accelerating design and testing methodologies for quicker innovation, and promoting sustainability across the entire vehicle lifecycle—from production to end-of-life.

This collaborative work demonstrates how clustering efforts can optimize innovation efficiency, avoid duplications, and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in the global e-mobility landscape.
