Main questions

ESCALATE project aims to demonstrate high-efficiency powertrains for long-haul applications that will provide a range of 800 km without refueling/recharging and cover at least 500 km average daily operation in real conditions.


Main findings

The project is built on novel concepts around three main innovation areas:

  1. Standardized well-designed, cost-effective modular and scalable multi-powertrain components.  
  2. Fast Fueling and Grid-friendly charging solutions. 
  3. Digital Twin & AI-based management tools considering capacity, availability, speed, and nature of the charging infrastructures as well as the fleet structures.
