 🚗💡 ZEV-UP at the forefront of EV innovation!   From 10 to 12 December, ZEV-UP joined the 3rd Conference on Ultralight #ElectricVehicles in Laval, France.   Representing the project, Rim Rejeb from VEDECOM shared ZEV-UP’s vision during a panel featuring key experts from the EV landscape. She highlighted our user-centric approach to foster acceptance of EVs and presented the ZEV-UP vehicle features, such as the innovative #BatterySwapping system.   The event was a valuable opportunity to connect with stakeholders and explore new opportunities to advance sustainable electric mobility.   🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ecSYxWg7   #ZEVUPproject #sustainablemobility #electricmobility

ZEV-UP is proud to have contributed to the 2ZeroPartnership KPI assessment, carried out by LeMesurier Project 🍃 🚗 💡 LeMesurier is a support action for 2Zero, developing a comprehensive framework to monitor and measure the effectiveness of the Partnership's mission to advance sustainable road transport research and innovation. It considers 21 Key Performance Indicators for 2Zero, and our assessment has shown that ZEV-UP will contribute to 11 of them (4 fully and 7 partially). The four KPIs that ZEV-UP will make the most tangible contribution to are: 🟢 Zero tailpipe business models 🟢 Demonstration of technologies, components, systems and their integration in vehicles enabling affordability, high efficiency and fast charging capability 🟢 Optimal balance between battery size, user needs and recharging infrastructure capabilities identified from EU funded projects 🟢 Reduction of time and effort needed for the development of zero tailpipe emission solutions. Our contribution to this comprehensive KPI questionnaire also helps frame the upcoming evaluation process in ZEV-UP, helping us better evaluate our impact. We will also follow assessment recommendations from LeMesurier which will be produced towards the end of 2025. 🌐 Learn more about the LeMesurier Project: https://lnkd.in/eNH8hdGS #2ZeroKPIs #LeMesurier #SustainableTransport CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency ERTICO - ITS Europe

🌟 Defining Success for Sustainable Mobility: ZEV-UP's Key Metrics   How do we measure progress in accelerating the adoption of #Battery #ElectricVehicles (BEVs)? ZEV-UP has established robust #StudyQuestions and Key Performance Indicators (#KPIs) to guide the project and assess its impact.   These KPIs target priorities such as: ✅ Enhancing operational efficiency ✅ Understanding market trends ✅ Foster collaboration to develop user-centred and socially inclusive solutions   🔍 Learn more in our latest article and stay tuned for the upcoming publication of Deliverable 1.3! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXDTgYZS ICOOR Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) VEDECOM FEV Türkiye Akkodis Rhoé Ford Otosan Otokoç Otomotiv Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds

ZEV-UP recently participated in the London EV Show 🌟 Our Project Coordinator, Emin V. ALIYEV, joined a panel discussion on #BatterySwapping vs. #FastCharging, where he introduced our innovative frugal vehicle concept, highlighted the potential of battery swapping across sectors, and emphasised the need for standardisation and collaboration to scale these solutions.

🔍 Exploring the Market Dynamics for the ZEV-UP Frugal Vehicles   How can frugal #Battery #ElectricVehicles (BEVs) meet the diverse needs of both established and emerging economies? ZEV-UP has been looking into market dynamics and operational environments to ensure our vehicle designs are not only innovative but also economically viable.   🔑 Some key findings: - In Pakistan and South Africa, weak energy grids and high infrastructure costs challenge EV adoption, with affordability remaining critical for frugal BEVs. - Charging infrastructure plays a pivotal role. ZEV-UP developed an innovative Charging Infrastructure Index to evaluate and optimise charging networks based on user needs, with applications like in the city of Thessaloniki leading the way. - Mini frugal BEVs offer versatility for urban users, while fleet operators benefit from reduced operational costs, though risk remains a consideration.   Insights from this analysis will directly inform the design of ZEV-UP vehicles, aligning them with market needs and fostering their adoption.   Stay tuned for the release of Deliverable 1.2 and upcoming scientific papers on this innovative research! 👉 Read more on our website: https://lnkd.in/e-gTSp3Q Rhoé ICOOR Ford Otosan Lahore University of Management Sciences Centre for Transport Studies
