AEVETO Cluster to Lead the Dialogue on Zero-Emission Road Freight at Transport & Logistics Fair 2025 – Munich, Germany

Wednesday, May 7th, 2025

The AEVETO Cluster (Advanced Electric Vehicles for Efficient and Economic Transport Operations) will take centre stage at Transport & Logistics 2025, presenting a unified vision for the decarbonisation of Europe’s heavy-duty transport sector. As a strategic alliance of EU-funded R&D projects, under the 2ZERO partnership, AEVETO is advancing the development and deployment of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) across freight and logistics networks. 

A platform for innovation and collaboration 

The dedicated AEVETO session will spotlight six flagship projects – ZEFES, ESCALATE, EMPOWER, NextETRUCK, MACBETH, and FLEXMCS – all working toward enabling a scalable and accelerated transition to heavy-duty electric transport system. This high-level session will offer: 

  • A strategic overview of current policy frameworks pushing for electrification and innovation pathways to achieve transition in an affordable way. 
  • Concise project presentations detailing scope, pilot actions, and early findings 
  • A forward-facing discussion on technology, operational and market readiness, challenges, and future opportunities 

This event presents a valuable opportunity for stakeholders from policy, industry, research, and technology to engage with Europe’s most relevant zero-emission road transport initiatives, while exploring the objectives, challenges and future outcomes in making the zero-emission logistics a reality tomorrow. 

Driving Europe’s digital transition 

AEVETO supports and aligns with Europe’s leading climate and innovation strategies, including: 

By uniting efforts under a common framework, the cluster enhances visibility, promotes knowledge exchange, and supports the scale-up of key technologies. Core areas of focus include improving vehicle affordability, extending driving range, and fostering policy support for real-world deployment. 

Towards a systemic shift in transport 

Beyond technical innovation, AEVETO aims to catalyse a broader transformation in freight transport. Through cross-sector collaboration, the cluster is committed to supporting a system that is: 

  • Environmentally sustainable 
  • Economically viable 
  • Technologically resilient 

AEVETO’s coordinated approach empowers Europe to move more swiftly toward its 2030–2040 zero-emission objectives, setting new standards for innovation-driven sustainability in logistics.
