ZEvRA's main objective is to improve the circularity of light-duty EVs throughout their entire value chain, from materials supply and manufacturing to end-of-life (EoL) processes, which aligns with the European Union's goal of achieving zero CO2e emissions by 2035, particularly in the EV value chain. To do so, ZEvRA will develop a Design for Circularity (DfC) methodology and a holistic circularity assessment aimed at improving the production of electric vehicles (EVs) based on the 9Rs. This methodology will be validated by developing zero emission solutions for the most important automotive materials, covering > 84% material mix: steel, three versions of aluminium (wrought, casting, and foam), thermoplastics composites (long and continuous fibre-reinforced), unfiled/short fibre plastics, glass, tyres and Rare Earth Elements (REE). These solutions will be supported by a set of digital tools to support the manufacturing of the use cases, the assessment of circularity, traceability, and the virtual integration of components into a full replicable vehicle. To maximise the outreach of our methodology and zero emission solutions, ZEvRA will develop a dedicated training & upskilling programme for the automotive workforce and academia, together with activities aimed at increasing awareness & acceptability of the proposed zero emission solutions. Lastly, circular business modelstargeting EoL and logistics aimed at improving the economic feasibility of circularity in EVs are advanced. ZEvRA’s innovations aim to improve zero emission approaches in the life cycle and value chain of at least 59% of European EVs by 2035 through the 5 OEMs and Tier 1’s that are part of the consortium, which includes industry and academia covering the entire automotive value chain.

ZEvRA 的主要目标是提高轻型电动汽车从材料供应和制造到报废 (EoL) 流程的整个价值链的循环性，这符合欧盟到 2035 年实现二氧化碳当量零排放的目标。为此，ZEvRA 将开发循环设计 (DfC) 方法和整体循环评估，旨在提高电动汽车 (EV) 的生产。该方法将通过为最重要的汽车材料开发零排放解决方案来验证，涵盖超过 84% 的材料组合：钢、三种铝（锻造、铸造和泡沫）、热塑性复合材料（长纤维和连续纤维）。 -增强）、未归档/短纤维塑料、玻璃、轮胎和稀土元素（REE）这些解决方案将得到一套数字工具的支持，以支持制造的使用。案例、循环性评估、可追溯性以及将组件虚拟集成到完全可复制的车辆中，为了最大限度地推广我们的方法和零排放解决方案，ZEvRA 将共同为汽车从业人员和学术界制定专门的培训和技能提升计划。最后，ZEvRA 的创新旨在提高零排放解决方案的认识和可接受性，并推进旨在提高电动汽车循环经济可行性的循环商业模式。到 2035 年，通过该联盟的 5 家 OEM 和一级供应商，覆盖至少 59% 的欧洲电动汽车的生命周期和价值链，该联盟包括涵盖整个汽车价值链的工业界和学术界。
