Transport continues to be a major source of air pollutants in urban environments and busy hotspots, such as ports and airports. Electrification in road transport will address part of the problem but non-exhaust and emissions from maritime and aviation are more difficult to tackle. Improved pollutants monitoring, regulatory enforcement and optimisation of operation patterns can be used to decrease pollutant emissions. This session will present the main experiences and results from projects AVIATOR, CARES, MODALES, SCIPPER, TUBE, and uCARe on new tools and methods that can be used to decrease emissions of the current fleet of vehicles, vessels and aircraft.

Urban public transport is a vital element to make mobility in cities and regions more sustainable. Offering people an alternative to private vehicles, public transport significantly reduces traffic congestion, air pollution and road injuries. Making public transport more attractive, more efficient and more sustainable is a top sustainable mobility priority for cities and regions. What innovative solutions can accelerate the necessary modal shift? How would the underlying transport system look? What lessons can we draw from the past to design the future?

The session will present the results of the most recent research aimed at a fairer and more inclusive transport system, also considering the rapid transition to an increasingly digital lifestyle. The session will present in an intercative manner the results of a cluster of ongoing or recently completed EU-funded projects. They will reveal gaps in the provision of transport that meet the needs of all groups in society, in particular those most vulnerable to exclusion. Each project will present its own results in addressing barriers and propose potential solutions to reduce discrimination. A special emphasis will be placed on women as an intersectional group, as well as the importance of data for assessing and monitoring equity and inclusiveness.

This session explores the benefits of collaborating worldwide during the research, development and test of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM). Despite the common goal of improving future mobility thanks to CCAM, countries have their own requirements on regulatory framework, citizens’ acceptability, and geographical circumstances – among others. Countries and regions are also interested to know the potential impacts of automation for them. This diversity of conditions will be at the core this session in which speakers form Europe, Australia, Japan and US will exchange on own experiences and present the bridges already established between the continents for collaborating.

At the moment, the need to reduce the weight of electric vehicles (EVs) to achieve higher carbon neutrality is increasing. This session will present different lightweight solutions for EVs from 5 European projects focusing on the development of new materials, their integration in EV components, the design of these components, their efficient production, and recycling. This session will showcase the utilisation of advanced steels, novel aluminium composites, optimised recycled plastics and recyclable resins and carbon fibers for the reduction of the overall vehicles weight along with eco-design principles for advanced lightweight materials to be applied to different vehicle body parts.

Transport is essential for people and the economy, but its emissions and noise affect the health of the whole population both directly and through environmental pollution. These negative impacts are particularly present in urban environments. Innovative solutions could help reducing this impact, e.g., technological solutions to allow better transport planning in cities.

The E-VOLVE Cluster of eight complementary H2020 Green Vehicle projects provides a wide set of solutions for the next generation of EVs. By making electric mobility more affordable, convenient and efficient, the E-VOLVE Projects will sustain the market take-up of battery electric vehicles beyond the end of governmental incentives that one day will be unavoidable. During this session, the E-VOLVE Projects will pitch their results and contributions towards the future EV, under five Working Groups: 1. Energy & Thermal Management, 2. Electric Powertrain, 3. Energy Efficiency & Performance, 4. Connectivity, 5. Control Architecture. Followed by a Q&A session and moderated discussion.

Sending information to humans driving vehicles or vehicles being driven by software requires different approaches. Mixed traffic conditions add complexity and may yield a range of responses which depends on many factors, including how information is being interpreted and the level of context awareness. Topics that will be discussed, divided in both the (infrastructure) support requirements and the expected responsive behaviour of the vehicles: • ODD attribute awareness • Infrastructure Support for Automated Driving • Quality requirements for the supporting infrastructure information • Interpretation of traffic management signals and messages • Desired and expected responses of vehicles to TM signals and messages.

The session will kick off with a short presentation on the policy perspective regarding the need to develop and deploy smart and sustainable mobility solutions for all (SSMS, HE, SDGs). Then, we will hear from two freshly completed H2020 projects about user acceptability, user behavior and about the impact assessment of innovative mobility solutions like CCAM (Drive2TheFuture and Levitate). We will then hear from the first batch of HE projects that are dealing with societal aspects and user needs in CCAM development and deployment (Sinfonica, Move2CCAM).

Electric Road System (ERS) consists of powering the road vehicles in motion on highways, both to drive them and to charge their batteries. It would decarbonize road transport by 85% compared to the diesel (batteries only: 60%) and would avoid two third of batteries. ERS would allow an unlimited mileage on the equipped road network. The session will report the recent and on-going studies and experiments on ERS, mainly in Sweden, Germany, France and Italy. The “ready-to-scale” technologies will be assessed, and the potential and deployment conditions of ERS will be presented by stakeholders, solution providers and end-users.

This session explores the benefits of enhanced collaboration between the EU and the US on transport research and innovation. The EU and the US differ in terms of regulatory framework, budget cycles, local/geographical conditions and citizen’s engagement process. Yet, they share a rich, evidence-based approach to R&I and the common goal for a safe, inclusive, secure, efficient, resilient and sustainable transportation system by 2030 and beyond. This diversity, but also commonalities of our collaborative framework conditions will be at the core of this session in which speakers from Europe and the USA will exchange with the audience on their experiences to date and present the bridges already established between the continents for collaborating. Engaging the audience to identify the priority areas but also the tools necessary for future collaboration and engagement will at the core of this session.

The objective of this session is to better understand the role that multimodal mobility and logistics hubs cover in the urban environment, as they provide a smart point in the transport network that seamlessly integrates different modes of transport with logistics flows. Last-mile delivery systems are facing challenges associated with the dawn of on-demand logistics, struggling to accommodate citizen expectations for responsive logistics systems, that deliver products at low or even zero-cost. The EU-funded projects MOVE21, ULaaDS and LEAD will show how they are working on that and provide potential solutions to improve and make more efficient city logistics.

The extent to which the EU’s energy and climate objectives are achieved for the transport sector depends significantly on the battery industry. A carbon neutral and electrified transport industry will not be possible without the development of battery technology. The European initiatives which are promoting battery R&I will show how battery R&I will be supported in the years to come and how the battery value chain can meet the challenges to support the mobility sector in the green transition. The key elements of the European Research and Innovation Agenda and the mobility roadmap will be presented as well as emphasising the key role of manufacturing to meet demand.
