About the requirement

From the notice

Call: MOBILITY. Type of action: HORIZON Innovation Actions. Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Demonstrated integration potential and modularity of next level advanced high-voltage systems to benefit cost of Commercial Vehicles (CV) in particular for the Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDV) segment. Improved energy efficiency and higher utilization potential of HDV (ensuring full operational capability for the intended usage models) via high-voltage powertrain configurations. Demonstrated benefits of high-voltage systems also for fast charging and auxiliary components. Scope: Major challenges still faced by Heavy Duty Battery Electric Vehicles (HD-BEV) are cost and fast charging. As electric vehicles become more attractive through Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), significantly higher acquisition costs remain, partly caused by the wide spectrum of usage scenarios and a relatively low number of vehicles, which makes development costs a significant factor for vehicle price. Proposed actions are expected to address all of the following aspects: Simplify system configurations while ensuring energy efficiency for achieving economies of scale and extending component lifespans. Increase the voltage (post 800V) to an optimal level with regard to efficiency, affordability, and performance – and especially the compatibility with Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) – to support faster charging needs and reduction of charging losses within the vehicle by 10 %, while considering the context of modularity and safety. Demonstrate the bene…[E3]

Eligibility and requirements

  • ConditionEU grant rules apply: check the call conditions for who can apply, consortium rules and co-funding.[E4]
  • The notice data states no restriction on who may bid. Exclusion grounds and selection criteria in the tender documents still apply.

Risks and unknowns

  • RiskBidding has not opened. Scope and dates can change before the call for competition.[E5]
  • RiskThis is a grant, not a contract. Grants usually need a proposal against the funder's criteria, may need partners and often need co-funding.[E5]
  • UnknownWe read the published notice, not the full tender documents.
