Training on energy audits as an Energy Efficiency DRIVER for the automotive sector

Project description

New platform to help auto companies reduce transport energy use

Transport accounts for approximately one quarter of global energy use and is forecast to increase by approximately 50 % by 2030 in the absence of new regulations. For more sustainable transport, energy efficiency must be assessed across the entire supply chain: from raw material extraction to component construction and assembly. The EU-funded E2DRIVER project is developing a training platform that will boost the collective intelligence of the automotive industry on energy efficiency. The platform will provide access to training material, online lessons, guidelines, and energy and financial tools. These will enable auto companies to thoroughly assess the energy consumption of transport use and propose measures to minimise their negative impact on the environment.

Objective

E2DRIVER will develop a collaborative-cooperative training platform boosting the automotive supply industry collective intelligence on energy efficiency. The platform will provide access to training material, online lessons, guidelines, energy and financial tools, virtual reality modules and a community of key actors in the sector for SMEs to undergo energy audits and implement their recommendations. To this end, E2DRIVER training methodology will enable the development of specific training plan itineraries based on the company’s needs and trainees’ role in the company, which will increase the effectiveness of the training sessions and the awareness on energy issues among the staff.
The development of E2DRIVER platform will not be a static action resulting from the project execution, but will enable a continuous update of the training material, best practices, benchmarking analysis and guidelines due to the implementation of an ontological flip teaching method, which enables trainees to generate their own knowledge and training materials to be shared through E2DRIVER cooperative networks.
E2DRIVER platform will be tested and validated in 40 companies from the automotive supply industry in four countries that represent over 50% of the EU employees in this sector: Spain, France, Italy and Germany. Moreover, a total of 60 trainers will be certified in E2DRIVER training methodology, which will ease the replication of the project results and the business consolidation of E2DRIVER platform.
E2DRIVER gender-balanced consortium includes three well-known research institutions with expertise in energy efficiency, social science and decision-making processes. In addition, a partner in charge of training at national level and an association as multiplier organization has been involved in every pilot country. Finally, this competitive consortium is complemented by two research oriented SMEs focussed on exploitation and dissemination issues.
