• Benchmark study performed on its competitors and pilot projects.
• Identification targeted end user market and provide insight into the determining factors for influencing technology selection.
• Assessment of the future business market landscape.
• Identification of most promising countries to target for market entry and action plan for market entry.
• Sharing the outcomes of the various trials as case studies to prospective customers.
• Provide evidence supporting the technology.
• Demonstration on how the system will deliver no adverse impact on vehicle availability, deployment and timetables.
• Investigation and implementation on interoperability segments, such as OCPP and CCS/MODE4.

Innowacyjność oraz oczekiwany potencjalny wpływ (w tym dotychczasowe znaczenie społeczno-gospodarcze i szersze implikacje społeczne projektu)

The outcomes of the actions have resulted in a set of recommendations with the conclusion to continue at full speed with the project. This is underpinned by the main results of the actions performed. There is a strong positive reception by the stakeholders of the product and a high interest of the potential end user market. There is a growing market of deployment of the Heliox solution, due to a supportive legislative environment, government financial support programs, and lack of current and near future mature competition. The technical viability has been proved in real environment testing and specific operational analysis has indicated the amount of investment and capacity needed to move forward. Heliox will submit a Phase 2 application for the development of final products and market introduction.
