Project background

is part of the European Green Cars Initiative (EGCI) that was launched within the context of the European Recovery Plan
supports the achievement of the EU’s ambitious climate goals, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions by 60 percent by the year 2050
EGCI supports the research and development of road transport solutions
that have the potential to achieve sustainable as well as groundbreaking results in the use of renewable and non-polluting energy sources

project was officially launched by Siim Kallas, Vice President of the European Commission,
at a high-level kick-off meeting in Bruxelles on 31 March 31 2011

working to prepare the foundation for the mass deployment of Europe-wide electromobility
has a total budget of €42 million
funded by the European Commission with €24 million

A joint effort for electromobility

Green eMotion consortium consists of forty-three partners from industry, the energy sector, electric vehicle manufacturers, and municipalities
as well as universities and research institutions having joined forces to explore the basic conditions
that need to be fulfilled for Europe-wide electromobility.
The primary goal of the project is to define Europe-wide standards.
To this end, practical research is being conducted in different demo regions all over Europe
with the aim of developing and demonstrating a commonly accepted and user-friendly framework
that combines interoperable and scalable technical solutions with a sustainable business platform.

For the implementation of this framework, Green eMotion will take into account smart grid developments,
innovative ICT solutions, different types of EVs, as well as urban mobility concepts

»Work Packages

WP1 Synchronisation of demonstration regions

the objective of WP1 is to set up, implement and synchronize demonstration activities in the twelve demonstration regions of Green eMotion
WP1 aims at ensuring a great variety of fleets, vehicle types and concepts as well as
implementing mechanisms for data sharing and best practice evaluation among all regions,
while some extra demonstration features will be implemented in each region to enable further tests and a wider spectrum of activities.

WP2 Urban electromobility concepts, policies and regulations

WP2 will asses the different concepts for a rollout from a municipality planning and policy perspective.
The key features which are necessary for a successful mass roll out of electric cars in Europe will be determined.

WP3 Electromobility services / ICT solutions

ICT is seen as the key enabler for electromobility, offering a multitude of basic and advanced services to the driver.
The integration of these services will allow the usability for the end user without regional limitations e.g.
with roaming or recharging location services and will enable the realization of economies of scale
for advanced service offerings like fleet management.

WP4 Grid EV-olution

WP4 is to use the numerous ongoing demonstration field trials to define best-practice solutions for recharging infrastructure
from a grid operator‘s perspective.
Provision of adequate grid capacity and appropriate grid operation tools in order to welcome EV’s and
make them beneficial for power system operation are key questions to be investigated and demonstrated.

WP5 Recharging Infrastructures

WP5 is providing advanced, interoperable and manageable recharging infrastructures and services to EVs.
This is going to be demonstrated through the delivery of such infrastructures for DC fast recharging,
battery swapping and inductive recharging and also the delivery of charging management system and
smart network re-enforcement to different demonstration regions.

WP6 EV technology validation

WP6 is to validate the performance of EV technology in terms of durability, costs and safety aspects
under realistic driving conditions in different climatic zones

WP7 Harmonisation of technology & standards

an essential issue for the mass rollout of EV and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) across the EU
Based on the requirements of the other WPs and the experiences made in the demonstration regions,
WP7 will support the standardization efforts for the three layers: vehicle, infrastructure and communication

WP8 Green-eMotion framework demonstration

the demonstration of the enhanced interoperable and upgradeable electromobility solutions developed within Green eMotion
The objective is to introduce and test the electromobility framework and
to provide feedback for its improvement as well as to establish requirements
on pan-EU interoperable and evolutionary (upgradeable) recharging infrastructures.

WP9 Technical, environmental, economic and social evaluation

the viability of mass rollout of EV and PHEV across the EU, system-wide impact on European electricity infrastructures
needs to be thoroughly understood from a multi-criteria perspective involving technical, economic, environmental and social aspects

WP10 Dissemination

to disseminate and exploit the knowledge and results gained within the Green eMotion project
This includes an External Stakeholder Board to leverage the experience of companies and demo regions not part of the consortium.

WP11 Project Management

an efficient and smooth project execution, ensuring that the project objectives are fulfilled and
that project deliverables are delivered on time and in line with the budget.
