1. “HORIZON-CL5-2025-04-D5-04 Extended lifetime of road Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) (2ZERO Partnership) çağrısı ile ilgili gelen soruya Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından verilen cevabı aşağıda bulabilirsiniz.

QuestionIs the development of new technologies (e.g., re-engineering of the battery pack and associated electronics) in scope, and does it complement the aspects of digitalization and observability and prediction algorithms to be applied to the vehicle?

  • Reply: The focus of this topic is rather on (re)design of critical electric drive components and concepts for extended lifetime (which is where aspects of digitalisation and predictive algorithms would be applied). Battery packs and modules are in scope but not battery cells.

QuestionDoes "materials" as described in the topic text focus on raw materials or on the component/subsystem level?

  • Reply: Assuming that this question refers to the point ”20 % higher residual value through longer lifetime of BEV increasing material efficiency and productivity in comparison to baseline, state of the art vehicle”, it refers to the concept of maximising the value of drive train components at the end of life, for instance by ensuring the best quality possible of the materials used in these components. So ideally, materials and components should be considered holistically.

  1. HORIZON-CL5-2025-04-D5-15: Optimal integrated onboard renewable energy solutions, by considering Wind-Assisted Propulsion Systems (ZEWT Partnership)” çağrısı ile ilgili gelen sorulara Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından verilen cevabı aşağıda bulabilirsiniz.

Question: The requirements include a demonstrator, but it does not explicitly mention the minimum size of the vessel. However, in the expected outcomes, it is said “The methodology is expected to allow integration of wind energy used in propulsion of ships directly into calculations of GHG intensity of the energy used on-board, both in context of Fuel EU maritime and International Maritime Organization (IMO) Life Cycle assessment (LCA) guidelines”, which to some may be interpreted as like the vessel should be at least 5000 GT, although others interpret it as that the demo ship may be smaller as long as it will provide relevant insights and data for future improvements of the regulations. Any advice regarding this?

  • Reply: The scope of the topic requires in the first bullet-point describing the  aspects to be addressed that “(t)his demonstration will be used to also validate the methodology for integration of the energy provided by the WAP devices to the ship propulsion”. Therefore, the characteristics of the full-scale demonstrator should comply with the vessels covered by the FuelEU maritime Regulation and the IMO LCA guidelines (eg. ships above 5000 GT).
