Enhanced electric operation and battery durability (ZEWT Partnership)

Horizon Europe forthcoming topic HORIZON-CL5-2027-03-D5-18 (call HORIZON-CL5-2027-03). Opens on 15 December 2026. Deadline 14 April 2027, 17:00 Brussels time. Expected Outcome: Project outputs and results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes: Demonstrate autonomy, of at least 150 nm (or 277.8 KM for inland navigation) using electrical storage as the only energy source, while allowing rapid in-route zero-emission replenishment. Increase the power output, providing beyond 5 MW as peak propulsion power with corresponding grid capacity. Improve systems to increase the number charging cycles combined with high-power charging to suit the operation needs of different ship types and services.
