  • Technical and financial matters
  • Open issues
  • Objectives
  • Timings
  • Interdependencies
  • Deliverables
  • Next steps
  • And much more!

Moreover, there was also time for brainstorming activities such as dedicated breakout sessions and pilot workshops led by partners.


More about ESCALATE

The ESCALATE project seeks to showcase high-efficiency powertrains for long-haul applications, achieving an 800 km range without refueling/recharging and covering a minimum of 500 km in average daily operation under real conditions. The project revolves around three key innovation areas:

  1. Standardised, well-designed, cost-effective, modular, and scalable multi-powertrain components.
  2. Rapid refueling and grid-friendly charging solutions.
  3. Implementation of digital twin and AI-based management tools that factor in charging infrastructure capacity, availability, speed, and nature, along with considerations for fleet structures.
