The Green eMotion project is part of the European Green Cars Initiative (EGCI) that was launched within the context of the European Recovery Plan. It supports the achievement of the EU’s ambitious climate goals, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions by 60 percent by the year 2050. EGCI supports the research and development of road transport solutions that have the potential to achieve sustainable as well as groundbreaking results in the use of renewable and non-polluting energy sources. The project is working to prepare the foundation for the mass deployment of Europe-wide electromobility.
Green eMotion demonstration sites, the locations from which EV will reach Brussels include Dublin, Strasburg, Berlin and Copenhagen among others.
As part of the Green eMotion project events, EV interoperability will be shown next September 18th in Brussels during the EC mobility week. Several partners in the project will drive different EV from their countries to the Belgium capital; the different charging events necessary to reach Brussels will be managed using the Green eMotion market place. The idea is to demonstrate that EV charging is feasible between different companies managing these charging points, as well as between different countries in a similar way to the mobile phone roaming. This rally to Brussels will be complemented on the morning of September 18th with a live demonstration of the EV interoperability. The EV driven to Brussels will be connected to different charging points, the identification of those vehicles, as well as the authorization for the charging of their batteries will be shown validating the Green eMotion marketplace, which is the tool developed within the project.
This Green eMotion project event will be held in Hotel Courtyard Brussels, Avenue des Olympiades 6, Brussels 1140 and it will include a demonstration of charging, using different vehicles, charging points and charging RFID cards. Afterwards, a series of conferences will be held, to present the main achievements of the project on the charging infrastructure, ICT tools and standards among others. The demonstration of the charging event and the marketplace will take place on the morning, while the conferences will take place from 13.00 to 17.00.
