ZEvRA EU Project’s Post

🗞 #NEWS 𝗧𝗨 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘇 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗧 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) has been granted approval by the FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency to lead the new COMET K1 centre "𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆𝟰𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲." This initiative focuses on enhancing battery safety, extending their service life, and improving sustainability. The project, supported by an investment of about 19 million euros from the FFG, the provinces of Styria and Upper Austria, and industry partners, will be conducted over four years. Key contributions include 6.5 million euros from the FFG, 2.6 million euros from Styria, and 0.6 million euros from Upper Austria, with the remainder coming from industry partners. The centre will build on previous work from the COMET project SafeLIB and will utilize state-of-the-art facilities at the Battery Safety Center Graz. The initiative will also explore the reuse of decommissioned batteries as stationary power storage units. The project brings together international academic and industrial partners from eight countries, including notable corporations like AUDI AG, BMW Group, and Porsche AG. #research #RD #researchanddevelopment #tech #batterytech #technology #batterysafety #batteryperformance #Austria

🎙 Podcast with Prof. Markus Lienkamp - From Racing to Accelerating towards Autonomous Mobility I had the privilege of interviewing Markus Lienkamp from Technical University of Munich about the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League, 27th of April 2024, and its contributions and learnings for the future of autonomous mobility. His captivating account highlighted the challenges, teamwork, and success of this well-executed event by ASPIRE, fostering fair and exciting competition. Beyond the thrill of the race, Markus shared invaluable insights for the automotive industry's autonomous mobility journey: 👉 Embracing open-source code collaboration on the technical front 👉 Enhanced cross-industry cooperation over the whole value chain 👉 Higher public and private financial commitment Markus compellingly advocated for open innovation and partnerships to accelerate progress in this transformative field. His plea resonates: to realize safe and efficient Level 4 and 5 autonomous mobility, we must unite our efforts. 👍 Join me in thanking Markus for these thought-provoking perspectives that will undoubtedly propel us towards our shared vision of autonomous mobility on public roads making mobility more sustainable (electric and service oriented) and inclusive (transport opportunities for elderly, handicapped and children). #AutonomousMobility #A2RL #ASPIRE  #OpenSource #SDV #IAC #Sustainability #TUM #Inclusiveness #ElectricMobility #4NewMobilityTalk #AutonomousRacing #Innovation #A2RL #ASPIREUAE https://lnkd.in/dK2cezaA

As shared electric automated vehicles scale up, it is critical to adapt to cultural, geographical and policy/governance contexts for better serving the needs of local societies. Our new Horizon Europe project, Diversify-CCAM (2024-2027), will develop methods and tools that support CCAM developers, transportation planners and policy makers (European, national, regional) in integrating social diversities in the design and implementation of future shared automated mobility in European landscapes. Our research will extend in 6 European countries (Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden), covering 12 diverse local contexts.   More information coming soon!
