ZEV-UP: Frugal Zero-Emission Vehicles for the Urban Passenger challenge

虽然全电动汽车（EV）的尾气排放为零，并且被视为实现欧洲55人适应目标的关键解决方案，即到2030年降低二氧化碳水平，到2050年实现气候中立，但如果全球市场加速创新电动汽车的吸收，则可能会实现更多目标。ZEV-UP项目旨在通过为乘客和货物运输开发模块化、具有成本效益和以用户为中心的电动汽车来解决这一迫切需求。利用创新的设计和工程技术，ZEV-UP车辆将量身定制，以满足发达市场和新兴市场用户的特定需求，确保高水平的用户接受度和市场占有率。主要创新包括L7 e BEV基础车型，该车型的设计尊重可负担性，可以升级和适应各种用途和需求，包括商业应用和更高价值的乘用车。通过优化车辆部件以减少材料使用和增强结构性能，该项目将实现更轻的车辆，提高自主性并最大限度地减少对环境的影响。ZEV-UP还将开发数字孪生模型，以提高车辆开发效率并降低验证成本，以及设计与各种区域电力系统兼容的充电功能。将探索新的业务和使用模式，如电池即服务，以最大限度地发挥L7 e BEV平台的优势和影响。以用户为中心的设计将是该项目的一个中心重点，并将根据在发达国家和发展中国家进行的市场研究和实地访谈提供信息。此外，ZEV-UP将开发一个扩散模型，以评估政策干预方案，并为各种市场的短期和长期BEV吸收制定战略。通过实现这些关键成果并坚持其目标，ZEV-UP将加速向可持续城市交通的过渡，并为减少交通部门的温室气体排放做出贡献。

While Fully electric vehicles (EV) have zero tailpipe emissions and are seen as a key solution to meeting the European Fit-for-55 target of reducing CO2 levels in 2030 and climate-neutrality by 2050, much more can be potentially achieved if the global market uptake of innovative EVs is accelerated. The ZEV-UP project aims to address this urgent need by developing modular, cost-effective, and usercentric EVsfor both passenger and goodstransportation. Leveraging innovative design and engineering techniques, ZEV-UP vehicles will be tailored to meet the specific needs of usersin both developed and emerging markets, ensuring high levels of user acceptance and market uptake. Key innovations include a base L7e BEV model that is designed respectful of affordability and can be upgraded and adapted for various purposes and needs, including commercial applications and higher-value passenger vehicles. By optimizing vehicle components for reduced material usage and enhanced structural properties, the project will achieve lighter vehicles with increased autonomy and minimized environmental impact. ZEV-UP will also develop digital-twin models to improve vehicle development efficiency and reduce validation costs, as well as designing charging capabilities compatible with a variety of regional power systems. Novel business and usage models, such as Battery as a Service, will be explored to maximize the benefits and impact of the L7e BEV platform. User-centric design, informed by market research and field interviews in both established and developing countries, will be a central focus of the project. Additionally, ZEV-UP will develop a proliferation model to assess policy intervention scenarios and strategize for short- and long-term BEV uptake in various markets. By delivering these key results and adhering to its objectives, ZEV-UP will accelerate the transition to sustainable urban mobility and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector.
