The ESCALATE - Horizon Europe Project General Assembly was recently held in Surrey, UK, bringing together a diverse group of partners from across Europe. This crucial meeting, held on November 13-14, 2023, was integral to advancing the EU's net-zero emission goals. Key achievements of the assembly include: - Collaboration between partners from Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Turkiye, Finland, and more. - Discussions on technical and financial matters, project objectives, and future steps. - Focus on achieving 800 km range for HDVs without refueling/recharging, and at least 500 km daily operation in real conditions. - Innovation in multi-powertrain components, rapid refueling, grid-friendly charging, and AI-based management tools. Topics like data management, decarbonization, electromobility, and urban freight were thoroughly explored through interactive sessions and workshops. Congratulations to the organizing team for successfully orchestrating this significant event. It's a major step towards a sustainable future for the EU. #2050goals
