Call: Multi-level modelling and testing of electric vehicles and their components

Programme	Horizon 2020 - Societal Challenges
Type of Fund	Action programme
Description of programme "Horizon 2020 - Societal Challenges "	A challenge-based approach will bring together resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines, including social sciences and the humanities. This will cover activities from research to market with a new focus on innovation-related activities, such as piloting, demonstration, test-beds, and support for public procurement and market uptake. Funding focuses on the following challenges: Health, demographic change and wellbeing; Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the Bioeconomy; Secure, clean and efficient energy; Smart, green and integrated transport; Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials; Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies; Secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens.

Description of programme "Smart, Green and Integrated Transport"	Within this programme Horizon 2020 will provide funding for a resource efficient transport that respects the environment, aims at a better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security, supports a global leadership for the European transport industry and targets a socio-economic and behavioural research and forward looking activities for policy making.
Call	Multi-level modelling and testing of electric vehicles and their components
Description of call "Multi-level modelling and testing of electric vehicles and their components"	Detailed modelling and testing at component and sub-component level (for instance in electrochemistry and electromagnetics) can be used to improve the understanding and design capabilities for higher performance and lower cost, allowing to recover or maintain technological leadership in key sectors of the EV value chain. Whenever the knowledge is fragmented, a truly European effort is preferred to help shorten the development and validation time of the tools. New technologies and new materials will enable further improvements in electric vehicle (EV)-efficiency but will also add complexity in control, calibration and safety analysis. Novel tools are required particular for covering the entire chain of integration into vehicles and subsystems. Consequently there is a need for advanced testing methods and tools as well as scalable and easy to parameterise real-time models for usage in different development environments in order to ensure safety and improve efficiency of future EVs and hence reducing development and testing efforts significantly.
