General Information
The 2Zero partnership covers all types of vehicles, from passenger cars, trucks and buses to two-wheelers and new vehicles concepts. Its activities are organised around four strongly interconnected pillars:
- Vehicle technologies and vehicle propulsion solutions for BEV and FCEV
- The integration of BEV into the energy system and related charging infrastructure
- Innovative concepts, solutions and services for the zero tailpipe
- LCA and circular economy approaches for sustainable and innovative road mobility solutions
Although the scope of the 2Zero partnership is extended from a vehicle perspective to a system approach, the working methods and mindset developed are similar and based on the previously successful experiences of EGCI and EGVI.
The 2Zero partnership promotes and facilitates pre-competitive research and innovation on road transport mobility within the European Research Area. By identifying the research needs to achieve the targets set in European transport, energy and environmental policies, the 2Zero partnership contributes to draft the path towards a climate-neutral European road transport system and will contribute to the acceleration of the necessary transition.
The 2Zero partnership is perfectly in line with the Green Deal, aimed at transforming the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, and with the related ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, defining an Action Plan of initiatives that will guide the European Commission work for the upcoming four years.
Beyond the objective of zero tailpipe emission in road transport, the 2Zero partnership is also supporting economic growth and job creation, the increase of EU competitiveness and will strengthen the technology leadership of the EU in road transport-related aspects.
2Zero wants to achieve the following:
- Contribute to Europe having the first carbon neutral road transport system by 2050
- Technology leadership supporting economic growth and job safeguard, creation all over Europe
- Ensure European competitiveness thanks to solutions for an integrated carbon neutral road transport ecosystem
- Improve the health and quality of life of EU citizens and ensure mobility for people and goods
