Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
It is expected that by 2030 there will be around half a million HD-BEVs on European roads.
However, the current market application of these vehicles is largely limited to transport operations with limited range and significant repeatability.
To expand their use, various strategies and applications for scalability need to be explored and validated based on real-world data from logistics operators.
Finding the optimal balance between the vehicle’s configuration and available charging infrastructure for different logistics use cases is key to address the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) challenge in the short and long term. This balancing will be enhanced by innovative logistics models and tools to further optimise logistics regional and long-haul operations in different regions in the EU and Associated Countries accelerating the deployment of HD BEVs for logistics.
Proposals are expected to address all the following aspects:
70%
Expected EU contribution per project: €5.00 million
The following exceptions apply: subject to restrictions for the protection of European communication networks.
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects.
