Advancing Circular and Sustainable Solutions: Highlights from Recent Events
In early March 2025, ZEvRA was at the JEC World 2025, taking part in two key industry events focused on sustainability and circularity in mobility. Thierry Renault from Forvia, co-presented with Polymeris the ZEvRA project and BIOntier project. BIOntier, focuses on bio-based, circular, and high-performance composites. Polymeris emphasised the importance of engaging the right partners […]
Sustainable Innovation at the Core of the ZEvRA Project
A Project with Bay Zoltan The Bay Zoltán Research Institute for Applied Research (BZN) is playing a pivotal role in advancing the ZEvRA project, a groundbreaking initiative focused on sustainability and innovation in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Leveraging its multidisciplinary expertise, BZN contributes significantly across several key areas: Beyond these technical competencies, BZN leverages […]
Cars made without new materials (almost)
By Manuel Montefalcone The future still belongs to electric: Now that rebates and other incentives to buy electric cars have been phased out, the transition has slowed. But research is bringing new momentum to electric mobility. Cars are to be built almost without new raw materials in the future. That corresponds to more than 1.5 […]
ZEvRA Project Consortium Meeting: Advancing Automotive Innovation and the Circular Economy
At the beginning of summer, the second consortium meeting of the ZEvRA project took place in Tampere, Finland, hosted at the VTT premises. The 28-partner-strong group gathered to review the project’s progress at the six-month mark and outline the next steps to advance the automotive sector and raise awareness of the circular economy. To foster […]
ZEvRA develops solutions for a recyclable electric vehicle and increases the use of recycled materials
According to EU guidelines, new vehicles should be manufactured almost entirely from recycled, reworked, refurbished, repaired or reused parts by 2035 and the consumption of new raw materials for car production should be close to zero. This corresponds to a saving of over 1.5 tonnes of material per vehicle. At the same time, new vehicles must continue […]
ZEvRA Project Embarks on a Groundbreaking Journey towards ZeroEmission Road Transport
In line with the European Commission’s aim to achieve zero CO2 emissions by 2035, ZEvRA, a research initiative funded under Horizon Europe, has officially commenced its mission torevolutionise the circularity of light-duty Electric Vehicles (EVs). With 28 partners from 13countries, the consortium seeks to reshape the entire EV value chain from raw materials to end-of-life […]
