Zero Emission Electric Vehicles Enabled by Harmonised Circularity

ZEvRA的主要目标是提高轻型电动汽车在其整个价值链中的循环性，从材料供应和制造到报废（EoL）过程，这与欧盟到2035年实现零二氧化碳排放的目标一致，特别是在电动汽车价值链中。为此，zerevra将开发一种循环设计（DfC）方法和整体循环评估，旨在改善基于9r的电动汽车（ev）的生产。该方法将通过为最重要的汽车材料开发零排放解决方案来验证，该方案涵盖了80%的材料组合：钢、三种铝（锻造、铸造和泡沫）、热塑性复合材料（长纤维和连续纤维增强）、未加工/短纤维塑料、玻璃、轮胎和稀土元素（REE）。这些解决方案将得到一组数字工具的支持，以支持用例的制造、循环性评估、可追溯性以及将组件虚拟集成到完全可复制的车辆中。为了最大限度地推广我们的方法和零排放解决方案，ZEvRA将为汽车从业人员和学术界制定专门的培训和技能提升计划，以及旨在提高对拟议零排放解决方案的认识和接受度的活动。最后，提出了以EoL和物流为目标的循环商业模式，旨在提高电动汽车循环的经济可行性。ZEvRA的创新旨在通过联盟中的5家原始设备制造商和一级供应商（包括涵盖整个汽车价值链的行业和学术界），到2035年，改善至少59%的欧洲电动汽车生命周期和价值链中的零排放方法。

ZEvRA's main objective is to improve the circularity of light-duty EVs throughout their entire value chain, from materials supply and manufacturing to end-of-life (EoL) processes, which aligns with the European Union's goal of achieving zero CO2e emissions by 2035, particularly in the EV value chain. To do so, ZEvRA will develop a Design for Circularity (DfC) methodology and a holistic circularity assessment aimed at improving the production of electric vehicles (EVs) based on the 9Rs. This methodology will be validated by developing zero emission solutions for the most important automotive materials, covering > 84% material mix: steel, three versions of aluminium (wrought, casting, and foam), thermoplastics composites (long and continuous fibre-reinforced), unfiled/short fibre plastics, glass, tyres and Rare Earth Elements (REE). These solutions will be supported by a set of digital tools to support the manufacturing of the use cases, the assessment of circularity, traceability, and the virtual integration of components into a full replicable vehicle. To maximise the outreach of our methodology and zero emission solutions, ZEvRA will develop a dedicated training & upskilling programme for the automotive workforce and academia, together with activities aimed at increasing awareness & acceptability of the proposed zero emission solutions. Lastly, circular business modelstargeting EoL and logistics aimed at improving the economic feasibility of circularity in EVs are advanced. ZEvRA’s innovations aim to improve zero emission approaches in the life cycle and value chain of at least 59% of European EVs by 2035 through the 5 OEMs and Tier 1’s that are part of the consortium, which includes industry and academia covering the entire automotive value chain.
