An Insight into ESCALATE

Fueled by Horizon Europe, ESCALATE is on a mission to shrink the carbon footprint of the freight industry. We are putting zero-emission Heavy Duty Vehicle (zHDV) powertrains to the test in real-world, long-haul conditions, spanning an intensive four-year endeavor.

Our ambition is to showcase powertrains tailored for long-haul excellence—capable of conquering an impressive 800 kilometers without pause for refueling or recharging. On top of that, we are targeting a remarkable daily average of 500 kilometers under actual operational conditions. The foundation of our project rests on pioneering concepts across three vital innovation domains:

  1. Streamlined, meticulously designed, cost-effective modular, and scalable multi-powertrain components.
  2. Swift refueling and grid-compatible charging solutions.
  3. Intelligent Digital Twin and AI-based management tools that factor in capacity, availability, speed, charging infrastructure characteristics, and fleet configurations.
