EU reinforces commitment in the field Automated Road Transport
On the occasion of the ITS European Congress in Strasbourg on the 21 of June, the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) celebrates the recent signature of seven grant agreements with projects in the domain of Automated Road Transport under the Horizon 2020 EU framework programme for research and innovation. With a total funding of close to €62 million, these projects will test and study the viability of automated driving as a safe and efficient means of transportation, exploring and promoting new service concepts to provide inclusive mobility.
This is the first time that INEA, as part of the Horizon 2020 Smart, Green and Integrated Transport Societal Challenge, funds such a major Innovation Action in Automated Road Transport grouping all key European car manufacturers.
