Powering EU Net Zero Future by Escalating Zero Emission HDVs and Logistic Intelligence

Descripción del proyecto

Vehículos pesados con cero emisiones para aplicaciones de larga distancia

En consonancia con los objetivos europeos para 2050, en el proyecto ESCALATE, financiado con fondos europeos, se pretende demostrar sistemas de propulsión para vehículos pesados con cero emisiones y muy eficientes (hasta un 10 %) destinados a aplicaciones de larga distancia, que proporcionen una autonomía de 800 km sin repostar o recargar y que cubran al menos 500 km de media en su funcionamiento diario en condiciones reales. El equipo de ESCALATE se basa en conceptos novedosos en torno a tres ámbitos principales de innovación: i) componentes estandarizados, bien diseñados, rentables, modulares y escalables para múltiples sistemas de propulsión; ii) tecnologías de repostaje rápido y de carga respetuosa con la red; y iii) herramientas basadas en inteligencia artificial y gemelos digitales. Durante el proyecto, se ejecutarán cinco pruebas piloto, cinco gemelos digitales y cinco estudios de casos de coste total de propiedad, y se evaluará su impacto ambiental a través de TranSensusLCA. El objetivo final es desarrollar componentes básicos modulares innovadores basados en un modelo de negocio para tres tipos de vehículo pesado con cero emisiones.

Objetivo

Heavy-duty vehicles account for about 25% of EU road transport CO2 emissions and about 6% of total EU emissions. In line with the Paris Agreement and Green Deal targets, Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 setting CO2 emission standards for HDVs (from August 14, 2019) forces the transition to a seamless integration of zero-emission vehicles into fleets. In line with the European 2050 goals ESCALATE aims to demonstrate high-efficiency zHDV powertrains (up to 10% increase) for long-haul applications that will provide a range of 800 km without refueling/recharging and cover at least 500 km average daily operation (6+ months) in real conditions. ESCALATE will achieve this by following modularity and scalability approach starting from the β-level of hardware and software innovations and aiming to reach the γ-level in the first sprint and eventually the δ-level at the project end through its 2 sprint-V-cycle. ESCALATE is built on the novel concepts around 3 main innovation areas, which are: i) Standardized well-designed, cost effective modular and scalable multi-powertrain components; ii) Fast Fueling & Grid-friendly charging solutions; and iii) Digital Twin (DT) & AI-based management tools considering capacity, availability, speed, and nature of the charging infrastructures as well as the fleet structures. Throughout the project lifetime, 5 pilots, 5 DTs and 5 case studies on TCO (with the target of 10% reduction), together with their environmental performance via TranSensusLCA will be performed. The ultimate goal is to develop well-designed modular building blocks with a TRL7/8 based on business model innovations used for 3 types of zHDVs {b-HDV,f-HDV,r-HDV}. Furthermore, 3 white papers will be produced, one of which will contribute defining the pathway for reducing well-to-wheel GHG emissions from HDVs based on results and policy assessments.
