Periodic Reporting for period 2 - LeMesurier (Measuring the value of the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of the 2Zero Partnership)

Reporting period: 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The LeMesurier project, a Coordination and Support Action (CSA), developed a common framework for measuring and monitoring the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the 2ZERO Partnership, aligned with the three‑layer objective structure of its SRIA. It produced KPI values and expected trends for the coming decade, based also on 2ZERO project results, and assessed their interactions, impacts and effectiveness. The project also generated recommendations to improve future KPI measurement and evaluation in the road‑transport domain and communicated its findings widely to stakeholders and the public.

Main objectives of LeMesurier are:

Objective 1: Assess the contribution of the 2ZERO Partnership and its projects to all Partnership objectives, based on the full KPI set.
Objective 2: Identify and quantify the interactions, impacts and effectiveness of the Partnership within the road transport challenge.
Objective 3: Provide recommendations for improving KPI measurement and evaluation methods for the Partnership.
Objective 4: Disseminate and promote the KPI methods and results to relevant 2ZERO and non‑2ZERO projects and stakeholders.

Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far

Despite its short two‑year duration, LeMesurier successfully achieved all objectives. The consortium collaborated effectively, addressing occasional delays and risks as they arose. The project consolidated findings from Period 1, advanced them in Period 2, and broadly disseminated its results, giving stakeholders a clear understanding of the common KPI monitoring and measurement framework for the 2ZERO Partnership.

At project completion, the following WP‑level objectives were delivered:

WP1
Completed assessment and refinement of Direct KPIs in line with the updated SRIA.
Improved the KPI monitoring framework and methods.
Analysed project contributions to all levels of 2ZERO objectives.
Applied multiple data‑collection techniques and documented their value.
Conducted qualitative deep‑dive assessments of six projects.

WP2
Established the modelling framework for Compound KPIs using three vehicle‑parc models and the new LeMesurier Digital Twin.
Developed the Digital Twin internally due to unavailability from projects.
Produced 2020 baselines and KPI projections for 2025–2035.
Quantified 2ZERO’s incremental impact on energy and GHG intensity.

WP3
Assessed 2ZERO’s impact on six Generic Objectives, including full quantitative analysis for Carbon Neutrality and Air Quality.
Mapped interactions and trade‑offs across objectives, visualised via lotus‑flower diagrams.
Summarised findings, produced factsheets and visualisations, and provided recommendations to WP4.

WP4
Compiled, prioritised and consolidated recommendations to improve KPI measurement, evolve the framework, and consider new KPIs for future Partnerships.

Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far)

The 2ZERO Partnership supports Europe’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and contributes to several UN SDGs. Because its long‑term impacts depend on many external factors, 2ZERO operates with a structured set of General, Specific and Operational Objectives, each supported by KPIs. The LeMesurier project defined how these KPIs should be measured and delivered the first comprehensive assessment of the Partnership’s potential impact, together with recommendations for improving future measurement and evaluation.

1. Accounting for 2ZERO Project Contributions
LeMesurier delivered the first full evaluation of how the initial 30 2ZERO projects contribute to all KPIs. It developed and applied the KPI measurement methods, produced baseline and 2035 projections, and created KPI data sheets updated continuously. Compound KPI evolution was visualised and the findings shared broadly (EC, AB, stakeholders, public) to enable future use by 2ZERO and other partnerships.

2. Assessing Impacts and Interactions
Using the quantified results from WPs 1 and 2, WP3 assessed the impact of 2ZERO on six Generic Objectives: GHG reduction, air quality, technology leadership, economic growth, competitiveness and circular economy. Baselines and definitions were proposed, and interactions between objectives were analysed using modelling and partner expertise, highlighting trade‑offs and synergies (e.g. via “lotus diagrams”). New qualitative and quantitative approaches were piloted, and recommendations made for including such measurements in future RTR partnerships.

3. Recommendations for Future Measurement Approaches
WP4 compiled and prioritised around 80 recommendations for improving KPI methods, introducing new indicators, and evolving the measurement framework. These were refined through workshops and GA discussions, providing input to ongoing Horizon Europe activities and preparations for the next framework programme.

4. Contribution to Broader EU Mobility Impacts
The LeMesurier results support the wider ambitions of the Horizon Europe mobility Destinations HE‑CL‑05 and HE‑CL5‑D6 by clarifying the pathways through which 2ZERO contributes to clean, competitive and sustainable European transport systems. The project’s findings and progress along these pathways are summarised below.
