FURORE - Future Road Vehicle Research, A Roadmap for the Future

摘要

The Thematic Network FURORE - Future Road Vehicle Research establishes a platform of leading independent European stakeholders to discuss breakthrough technologies and the corresponding research demand for vehicles of the year 2020 and beyond. The network focuses predominantly on road vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, but is also analysing potential breakthrough technologies in advanced fuels (e.g. natural gas, biomass and hydrogen) and systems such as hybrids and fuel cells. To meet with these future requirements, it is clear that future European research initiatives must be based on a system approach and integrate all areas of automotive expertise to ensure the best-possible solutions in relation to the European Research Area.
