SUMMARY:NEXTETRUCK & ESCALATE joint event on zero-emission freight!
DESCRIPTION:The NextETRUCK and ESCALATE projects invite you to participate in their joint event on zero-emission freight on 28 April from 9-13:15 in meeting room 3B/22 as part of the ITS Europe Congress 2026 in Istanbul. Towards the end of the event\, we will be visiting our pilot truck from Ford Otosan. Register now for an inspiring morning of discussions focused on the decarbonisation of urban and long-haul freight transport.   \nRegister Now\nResearch and development of zero-emission freight vehicles (zHGVs) across all vehicle sizes is a cornerstone of reducing road transport emissions on medium- and long-haul routes. However\, the large-scale deployment of zHGVs faces several challenges\, including cost considerations\, fast-charging and refuelling infrastructure\, digital charging management solutions\, and vehicle performance across diverse operational conditions and climate zones.  \nFord Otosan is a partner in both the NEXTETRUCK and ESCALATE projects\, which address the outlined challenges. During the event\, we aim to showcase the truck used in the Istanbul pilot\, which operates on various routes connecting two Ford Otosan factories in the peri-urban areas of Istanbul.   \n  \nAgenda \n\n09:00 – 09:30: General introduction to the event\, NextETRUCK & ESCALATE (POLIS\, University of Surrey\, ERTICO)\n09:30 – 10:30: Digital tools developed by both projects (ERTICO\, Uni Surrey\, Ford Otosan\, VUB)\n10:30 – 11:00: Coffee Break & Networking\n11:00 – 12:00: Battery-electric trucks in urban use (Ford Otosan & ERTICO)\n12:00 – 12:15: Event conclusion & upcoming Events (POLIS)\n12:15 – 12:30: Walk to NextETRUCK Exhibition Area\n12:30 – 13:15: Visit Ford Otosan NextETRUCK\n\n  \nWhat can you expect from the ITS Congress?  \nThe ITS Congress 2026 will take place from 27–29 April 2026 at the Istanbul International Convention and Exhibition Centre\, near Taksim Square\, in the heart of the city.
