The ZEFES project has successfully published four critical deliverables as part of Milestone 5, offering advanced tools, assessments, and frameworks essential for the development and deployment of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and their components. These documents provide deep insights into vehicle performance, safety, decision-making tools, and impact assessment.

D6.1 – Simulation performance of demonstrators via vehicle Digital Twin (DT)
This deliverable presents detailed simulations of the ZEFES heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) demonstrators, evaluating their performance under real-world driving conditions, payloads, and temperatures. The study analyzes hydrogen consumption, energy use, and thermal management to optimize drivetrain design and operation. These simulations support technical improvements and will be validated against real vehicle data in upcoming project phases.

D8.1 – Assessment Framework
D8.1 introduces a multi-dimensional assessment framework developed to evaluate the environmental, economic, and social impacts of ZEFES technologies and deployment strategies. This framework combines lifecycle analysis, cost-benefit evaluations, and social acceptance criteria to support holistic and sustainable decision-making.
