EGVIAfor2Zero Members Meet in Munich: Presentation of Project Clusters
22. & 23. October 2025 | Munich, Germany
Members of EGVIAfor2Zero gathered in Munich for a two-day meeting that combined strategic discussions, networking, and project updates. One part of the event was the presentation of the 2Zero project clusters, which bring together EU-funded projects working on complementary areas of clean and efficient vehicle technologies:
- V2X Cluster: addressing charging-related aspects
- E-Volve Cluster: improving electric vehicle efficiency
- AEVETO Cluster: advancing EVs for efficient and economic transport operations
Bernhard Brandstätter (Virtual Vehicle) presented the E-VOLVE Cluster, sharing the latest developments and collaborations among its member projects. The clusters aim to strengthen synergies, foster knowledge exchange, and accelerate innovation within the 2Zero partnership.
“The E-VOLVE Cluster demonstrates how collaboration between European projects can drive real progress in electric vehicle efficiency. Sharing experiences and results across initiatives helps us build a stronger innovation ecosystem for sustainable mobility.” — Bernhard Brandstätter, Virtual Vehicle
The meeting also featured updates on ongoing initiatives, including the recent MoU with the European Commission, the #WeDrive2Zero campaign results, progress on regional collaboration frameworks and upcoming events.
We were very happy to represent the E-VOLVE Cluster at the General Assembly meeting and to exchange with colleagues and other clusters. Thank you for having us!
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.
