Collaboration

Collaboration with the V2X Cluster

The NEVERFLAT project has recently joined the V2X Cluster, a collaborative initiative bringing together European projects focused on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies. The cluster supports knowledge sharing and coordination among projects working on topics such as grid interaction, charging systems, user behaviour, and new business models.

In addition to the cluster itself, a new V2X Alliance is being set up to further facilitate collaboration across key technical and user-focused areas. Working groups have been established around four core topics:

  • Battery degradation

  • AC/DC charging

  • User aspects

  • Business models

NEVERFLAT partners have been invited to join these working groups and contribute to ongoing discussions. This collaboration is expected to support alignment with other projects and improve the relevance and applicability of results across the wider V2X ecosystem.

Alignment with the 2Zero Partnership

NEVERFLAT is fully aligned with the objectives of the 2Zero (Towards Zero Emission Road Transport) partnership, particularly in the development of inclusive, user-friendly, and interoperable smart charging infrastructure to support the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles.

The consortium actively monitors activities and outputs from 2Zero and ensures that project outcomes contribute to the broader goals and key performance indicators defined by the partnership. Alignment efforts are structured around 2Zero’s main research pillars:

  • Vehicle Technologies and Propulsion Solutions – including Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV).

  • Integration into the Energy System – focusing on the connection between BEVs and the energy grid, including charging infrastructure.

  • Innovative Mobility Concepts and Services – supporting new models and services for low-emission mobility.

  • Life Cycle Assessment and Circular Economy – applying sustainability and resource efficiency principles throughout the vehicle and infrastructure lifecycle.

NEVERFLAT contributes by providing technical insights, pilot use cases, and data relevant to these areas, supporting knowledge transfer and strategic alignment within the 2Zero framework.
