2ZERO

Language English ‎(en)‎
Skill Level Beginner

Group overview

The Towards zero emission road transport (2Zero) is a co-programmed Partnership funded under the Horizon Europe programme and aiming at accelerating the transition towards zero tailpipe emission road mobility across Europe.

Formally launched on 23rd June 2021, the 2Zero partnership builds upon the successes of the European Green Cars Initiative (EGCI: 2009-2013) and the European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI: 2014-2020). EGCI was created in an ad-hoc manner in the 7th Framework Programme in response to the global economic crisis of 2008 and led to the joint funding of 113 collaborative research projects. Bringing together stakeholders from three different European Technology Platforms (ERTRAC, EPoSS and Smart Grids), the European Green Vehicles Initiative contributed to improving the energy efficiency of alternative powertrains in road transport.
The 2Zero partnership will implement an integrated system approach covering Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV). With the support of five Technology Platforms (ERTRAC, EPoSS, ETIP-SNET, ALICE and Batteries Europe), it will continue investigating new vehicles technologies and will extend its scope to cover the integration of the zero tailpipe emission vehicles in their eco-system contributing to boost the EU competitiveness and technological leadership.

The EiFa-S project aims to make Combined Transport (CT / “Kombinierter Verkehr”, KV) connections easier to discover and to compare across providers by improving access to timetable and connection information. EiFa-S builds on the previous mFUND feasibility study EiFa and now moves into the implementation phase. The project transforms conceptual results into a robust technical system architecture and a publicly available showcase platform.  A central element is the further development of the Intermodal Map into a neutral entry point where harmonised timetable data, CT terminals and connection information are brought together in a map-based interface. The ambition is to lower barriers for CT “newcomers” (e.g., shippers and forwarders) and support a shift to more sustainable transport solutions.  

CCAMbassador is a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action (CSA), launched on 1 June 2025, focused on enhancing the coordination and operational readiness of stakeholders involved in Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM). The project expands engagement beyond research and innovation actors to include public authorities, operators, and citizens, facilitating the uptake and deployment of CCAM solutions across Europe.   

IKIGAI is an ambitious European project aiming to accelerate the realisation of the Physical Internet (PI) by 2040 and decarbonise freight transport and logistics by 2050.  IKIGAI supports logistics companies to reach decarbonisation goals, in an affordable and competitive way, managing regulatory pressure and market volatility, removing major barriers to scalability of innovative solutions fit for the new economic landscape.

ALICE Intralogistics Community The ALICE Intralogistics Community is a member-driven ALICE Community, officially launched in January 2026, focused on the systemic role of intralogistics in Europe’s logistics and supply chains.  The Community was created to move beyond treating intralogistics as a standalone topic and instead address it as an integral part of end-to-end logistics, closely connected with transport operations, supply chains, energy systems and digital infrastructure.  Co-led with engaged ALICE members, notably LIMOWA, and supported by the ALICE Secretariat, the Community functions as a collaborative space, where members jointly explore challenges, share practices and develop concrete actions, solutions and business cases.  You are welcome to share and promote the group with your peers by using the public page in ALICE website: https://www.etp-logistics.eu/roadmaps-3-2/alice-intralogistics-community/
