Value
Proposition
This Megaproject creates and shares among its stakeholders the value of an integrated perspective for a better & environmentally friendly automotive of the future and the smart mobility of the future. Companies from Intelligent Transport System (ITS) industry, energy & automotive industry cooperate with research groups in creating the real operating environment (test bed) for future mobility technologies. This infrastructure is made available to technology & automotive industry players for testing new products and services, assess behaviour of transport users, travellers and citizens of the future smart cites. Academia and companies R&D groups co-locate for allowing new smart mobility products development and guide smart infrastructure usage & exploitation. The evaluation of existing technologies, as well as the investigation and development of new ones which will be implemented in future mobility, automotive and powertrain concepts is a priority objective.
The cooperation between the research experts will create a strong research pole in Greece that will serve potential customers at national & global level. The cooperation of the research and industry teams, covers the majority of the key mobility trends -electrification, shared mobility, and autonomy- targeting to the new markets that are growing rapidly in this sector.
Future sustainable mobility solutions will be developed in the proposed co-location environment of Thess-INTEC and their certification (against global standards, interoperability, human factor, carbon & energy foot print) will be possible using the state of the art open to the industry test bed of future mobility.
