Integration and testing of next generation post-800V electric powertrains (2ZERO Partnership)

This program targets a broad spectrum of research and innovation entities dedicated to advancing sustainable road transport within the European Union and associated countries. The primary goal is to foster climate-neutral and environmentally friendly mobility by developing cutting-edge electric vehicle technologies.

Funding is provided for projects focused on developing and integrating advanced electric powertrain components and systems. The emphasis is on innovation across various stages, from applied research to practical demonstration in real-world scenarios, excluding only the direct development of semiconductors.

Financial support is provided through grants, with a substantial budget allocated per project to facilitate significant advancements in electric powertrain technology. The program aims to fund multiple high-impact projects within the specified financial limits.

Applicants must adhere to specific conditions for proposal submission, project implementation, and collaboration. Key requirements are detailed across various annexes of the Horizon Europe Work Programme, ensuring compliance and effective project execution.

The application process involved a single-stage submission, now closed. Proposals underwent a rigorous evaluation based on predefined criteria, with transparent procedures ensuring fair selection.

The funding program is firmly rooted in established European Union legal frameworks and policy documents, ensuring its legitimacy and guiding its operational parameters.
