Coordination Action on PPP Implementation for Road-Transport Electrification

The Coordination Action CAPIRE prepares and supports the realization of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) sustaining and putting into practice the European Green Cars Initiative. Its activities focus on two major fields: a careful consideration of options for the aims, shape, and implementation paths a PPP, and the identification of technology roadblocks and the respective research needs within FP7. Major outcomes will be an appropriate and proven PPP implementation model and a dedicated roadmap based on an elaborated and deep analysis of R&D needs, respective milestones and supporting measures. The goal is to increase by a joint approach of the involved economic sectors and the public authorities the competitiveness of global European Automotive Industry in the domain of energy efficient, safe, non-polluting and CO2-free vehicles. This strategy has to be based on the three technology pillars Passenger cars and LCV, Trucks and Buses and Logistics.
