Energy Efficient Vehicles for Road Transport – EE-VERT

EE-VERT is a project funded under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Commission concerned with improving the energy efficiency of road vehicles. In particular EE-VERT targets a 10% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 generation as measured on the standard NEDC. The central concept to EE-VERT is the deployment of an overall energy management strategy that coordinates energy demand and consumption by a network of smart generators and smart actuators. This paper describes the EE-VERT concept and the activities that will be undertaken to realise the project’s goals.
