Fire prevention and mitigation for EVs in confined areas (2ZERO Partnership)

Horizon Europe forthcoming topic HORIZON-CL5-2027-03-D5-06 (call HORIZON-CL5-2027-03). Opens on 15 December 2026. Deadline 14 April 2027, 17:00 Brussels time. Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Standardised fire risk assessment for EVs’ [1] fire hazards in constrained spaces and areas such as underground/ built-in parking lots, garages, ferryboats and depots with and without charging facilities and during mono- or bidirectional charging. Innovative on-board and/or off-board affordable fire-detection, suppression, and containment measures and techniques. Standardised fire protocols and open evaluation frameworks. Enhanced public perception of fire safety across all EV categories. Source: EU Funding & Tenders Portal, European Commission (CC BY 4.0).
