E-VOLVE at the EARPA FORM Forum 2025

30. September & 01. October 2025 | Brussels, Belgium

The E-VOLVE Cluster was pleased to take part in this year’s Future Road Mobility Forum 2025 (FORM Forum), organised by the European Automotive Research Partners Association (EARPA).

This major European event brought together over 260 participants from industry, academia, and European institutions to explore how Europe can maintain its global leadership in sustainable and innovative road mobility.

The two-day programme included inspiring keynotes, technical sessions, and networking opportunities, all centred around the theme: “Transitioning Road Mobility: Actions to Safeguard Europe’s Competitive Edge.” Highlights included dynamic discussions, project showcases, and the Young Researcher Elevator Pitch, reflecting the energy and innovation driving Europe’s mobility research landscape.

Representing the E-VOLVE Cluster, Bernhard Brandstätter and Medina Ćustić from Virtual Vehicle joined the exhibition with a booth, where they engaged with participants and exchanged insights on the latest developments in electric vehicle efficiency and innovation. They also used the opportunity to catch up with some of our cluster members, such as HiVEP and VOLTCAR. VOLTCAR contributed to this year’s FORM Forum with a poster and a presentation by Lucas Van Belle (KU Leuven). You can find the presentation here.

We were proud to again represent the E-VOLVE Cluster at the EARPA FORM Forum 2025 and would like to thank EARPA and all participants for such a well-organised and engaging event.
