Innovations for zero emission public transport of the future, collaborating with engineers, manufacturers, public institutions, transport companies and the EU

ZeroWheels is committed to helping European public transport companies transition to zero-emission technologies and developing projects in innovations for the future of clean, effective, fun and sustainable cities.

We give expert assistance in crafting projects and funding consortiums for innovative manufacturing and zero-emission tech projects, combined to infrastructure planning as well as re-designing user experience for public transport.

We also help in identifying and securing EU-funding, grants, and financing. Our special focus in public transport projects is electric and hydrogen buses, as well as other light electric transport that supports bus networks. We aim to ensure a smooth and sustainable move toward cleaner, more efficient public transport solutions.

EU Carbon Neutrality Goals and the Transport Sector

The European Union has set ambitious targets to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050, as part of its European Green Deal. The transport sector, which accounts for nearly 25% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions, plays a critical role in achieving this goal.

Road transport constitutes the highest proportion of overall transport emissions – emitting 76% of all EU’s transport GHG emissions (including domestic transport and international bunkers) in 2021.

As a majority of existing and planned measures in the Member States focus on road transport, this share is expected to decrease as road transport decarbonises faster than other transport modes.

HOW CAN ZEROWHEELS HELP?

We work closely with companies to provide:

  • Project administration: We imagine, plan and administer large-scale projects combining innovative zero-emission product manufacturing, infrastructure, research, urban planning and transition to electric technologies.
  • Research services: Conducting research for the transport companies, manufacturers and institutions on what funding programs work best for their project in the upcoming calls and in the long-term.
  • Identify the best funding opportunities: We analyse the available EU programs, such as Horizon Europe, the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), and the Innovation Fund, to determine which grants or financing options align with particular project’s or company’s goals.
  • Crafting applications: We guide companies through the application process, helping articulate how project meets EU criteria for sustainability, innovation, and emissions reduction.
  • Ensure compliance with co-financing requirements: We assist in developing financial plans that meet the co-financing obligations set by the EU, ensuring long-term project viability.
  • Streamline the submission process: From registering on the EU’s Funding and Tenders Portal to submitting the final proposal, ZeroWheels ensures that the application process is smooth, timely, and meets all technical requirements.
