The focus of the Innovative Vehicles for Different Transport Modes programme is on technology for environment-friendly and safe vehicles. The aim of the programme is to develop technically advanced research and innovation environments in the field.
Advanced designs and functions for vehicles should enable an effective interplay between the various modes of transport and with the infrastructure. IT-based system solutions are being developed to further facilitate this interplay. The programme also strives to establish positive collaboration between manufacturers, researchers and society at large in order to find solutions to current transport problems.
Demonstrators constitute and important tool in the effort to discover optimal solutions with regard to technology, regulatory systems and funding for the transport system of the future.
The programme has issued two calls (2003 and 2005). The second call related to shipping and the railways.
Carl Naumburg is responsible for the programme.
