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

虽然全电动汽车（EV）具有零尾气排放，被视为实现欧洲2030年降低二氧化碳水平和2050年实现气候中和目标的关键解决方案，但如果全球市场对创新电动汽车的吸收加快，就有可能实现更多目标。ZEV-UP项目旨在通过开发模块化、成本效益高、以用户为中心的客运和货运电动汽车，解决这一迫切需求。利用创新的设计和工程技术，ZEV-UP车辆将根据发达市场和新兴市场用户的特定需求进行定制，确保高水平的用户接受度和市场占有率。主要创新包括基本的L7e纯电动汽车模型，该模型的设计尊重经济实惠，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，减少材料使用，增强结构性能，该项目将实现更轻的车辆，增加自主性，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，降低验证成本，并设计与各种区域电力系统兼容的充电能力。将探索新的商业和使用模式，如电池即服务，以最大限度地发挥L7e纯电动汽车平台的效益和影响。在成熟国家和发展中国家进行市场研究和实地采访后，以用户为中心的设计将是该项目的中心重点。此外，ZEV-UP还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纯电动汽车发展制定战略。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，并有助于减少交通部门的温室气体排放。

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.
