Zero Emission bUs Systems (ZEEUS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,
Electrification of the public transport is a raising trend in Europe, and electric buses are soon expected to enter markets as one of the most interesting options for matching urban environmental targets. Electrification is driven by both economics and politics. However, although technology is not yet fully matured and ready for wide commercialisation, a large demonstration project will facilitat ...

Specification, Implementation, Field Trial, and Standardisation of the Vehicle-2-Grid Interface (PowerUp)
Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
PowerUp aims to develop the Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) interface, involving a full development cycle of physical/link-layer specification, charging control protocol design, prototyping, conformance testing, field trials, and standardisation. Its results will ensure that FEVs smoothly integrate into emerging smart-grid networks. Thereby the efficiencies resulting from robust grid operation may be achieve ...

Composite Structural Power Storage for Hybrid Vehicles (StorAGE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
Weight is a premium; any material which does not contribute to load-carrying capacity is structurally parasitic. The focus of StorAGE is an key example; energy storage. Conventional design attempts to maximise the efficiency of the individual subcomponents. A different approach is to create novel multifunctional materials that simultaneously perform more than one function, thus offering significan ...

European Bus System of the Future (EBSF)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
"The European Bus System of the Future (EBSF) project is conceived as a driver to increase the attractiveness and raise the image of the bus systems in urban areas, by means of new technologies on vehicles and infrastructure in combination with operational best practices, in a system approach. For the first time in European research, these concepts are fully endorsed by all stakeholders, with all ...

Energy Efficient Vehicles for Road Transport (EE-VERT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"Road transport is the second largest EU producer of CO2, one of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change. While some improvements in efficiency of road vehicles have been achieved, continued growth in traffic and congestion mean that CO2 emissions from road transport have grown overall. At the same time rising fuel prices and supply instability also give pressure for increased efficien ...

North Sea Freight and Intelligent Transport Solutions (NS FRITS)
Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Dec 30, 2011,
The project addresses efficiency and effectiveness of the North Sea Region transport freight. To secure the NSR as a global competitor, the project develops an intelligent transport solution (ITS), which will improve accessibility, reduce environmental damage in the North Sea Region and enable the NSR to develop a dynamic logistics solution which is scalable across the EU. As the main result, the ...
