Description du projet
Une électromobilité de nouvelle génération pour un mode de vie urbain durable
Dans les zones urbaines, la gestion des flux logistiques devient de plus en plus compliquée dans le contexte d’une urbanisation intensive. On a de plus en plus besoin de solutions de mobilité durable alliant flexibilité du transport, hautes performances, faibles coûts d’exploitation, sûreté et sécurité sanitaire. Le projet URBANIZED, financé par l’UE, introduira la prochaine génération d’architectures de véhicules modulaires dans le domaine des véhicules électriques commerciaux de taille urbaine. En concentrant ses efforts sur une approche globale de la conception au niveau des systèmes, des véhicules et des flottes, URBANIZED offrira une solution modulaire complète pour la livraison «sur le dernier kilomètre» concernant la vente au détail, le commerce électronique, les services de messagerie et la poste, le secteur HoReCa (hôtellerie, restauration et cafés) ainsi que d’autres services urbains à la demande.
Objectif
The steadily growing demand related to increasing urbanisation is turning the management of logistics flows in urban areas a more complex process, with higher demand for adaptability and flexibility for the new solutions to contribute to optimise the overall transport capacity, reducing operational costs and negative impacts (health, safety). URBANIZED develops and demonstrates the next generation of modular vehicle architectures for urban-sized commercial e-vehicles, satisfying design principles of optimisation and right-sizing vehicles for their mission, delivering outputs in 3 dimensions: 1) high-performance e-powertrain components and control architectures, through the use of advanced co-design approaches; 2) interchangeable, plug & play cargo modules for different urban freight transport use case scenarios and 3) integrated energy and fleet management strategies using data, connectivity and learning algorithms. URBANIZED follows a holistic design approach working at 3 levels (systems, vehicle, fleet) during the entire project: starting with the definition of specific mission profiles within 2 main pre-selected use cases (last-mile delivery of retail, e-commerce, courier and post; HoReCa and other urban on-demand services), during the optimisation loops of the design process, and until project demonstrations, to be performed both physical and in virtual environments, covering the specific requirements of operators. URBANIZED brings a complementary multi-disciplinary consortium of 9 partners from 6 EU countries, involving all relevant actors from the value chain, from academic, to industrial (TIER1, OEMs) and logistics operators. Aiming at broadening dissemination and impact, URBANIZED defines an extended partnership, involving 3 satellite cities (Groningen, Madrid and Bergen) committed to CO2-emissions free logistics in their city centres by 2030 and a high volume OEM (Ford) highly positioned in the LCV market, all interested in replicability of project results.
