Sustainable Technical and Economic Pathways for Electrified Mobility Systems in EU27 by 2030 (EV-STEP )

By expanding existing system analysis tools, the EV-STEP project will develop a framework for an integrated assessment in order to assess the key technical and economic conditions of an increased electrification of European transport systems. The methodology will be implemented by a team of modellers in a common and shared analysis associating a bottom-up energy systems optimization model to a static computable general equilibrium model. The MARKAL/TIMES and IMACLIM-S modelling frameworks will be used. EV-STEP's ultimate goal is to state integrated policy recommendations, evaluate technical roadmaps such as those proposed by the Green Car Initiative and quantify implications for the interconnected European electric and energy system, while determining impacts on EU27's economic input-output balance. Participants: The project is co-ordinated by ARMINES, France. IER, University of Stuttgart, Germany, DTU Management Engineering, Denmark, SMASH, France.
