TrustMotion EcoMobility Project Completes European Mobility Innovation

TrustMotion Completes EcoMobility European Mobility Project

On August 13, TrustMotion announced the completion of the TrustMotion EcoMobility Project, a European initiative funded through the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) in collaboration with the Horizon Europe Framework Program. Coordinated by TrustMotion, the 38-month project brought together 47 partners from across Europe to address technology requirements linked to the digital transformation of mobility. The initiative focused on developing and validating solutions that could support increasingly connected, automated and intelligent transportation systems. Its completion marks the conclusion of a large collaborative research effort aimed at moving advanced mobility technologies from development toward practical validation through coordinated European demonstrations and technology integration.

Connected and Automated Mobility Technologies Validated

Throughout the project, the consortium addressed several major technology challenges spanning connected and automated driving, intelligent vehicle connectivity, smart battery management, digital twins and multimodal transport systems. These areas were developed as interconnected elements of a broader digital mobility ecosystem rather than as isolated technologies. The project subsequently integrated the solutions into large-scale demonstrators designed to assess their performance in realistic operating environments. According to the project results, the demonstrators were successfully validated and met the technical and innovation objectives established for the initiative. The work therefore provided practical validation of technologies intended to improve the efficiency, intelligence and connectivity of future mobility systems across Europe.

Smart Battery Management Delivers Measurable Improvements

One of the notable outcomes involved smart battery management technology developed and validated during the project. The resulting innovations delivered up to a 13% improvement in battery lifetime while also increasing driving range by 3%. These gains are significant because battery durability and usable range remain important considerations for electrified mobility, particularly as vehicles become increasingly dependent on digitally managed energy systems. By incorporating advanced battery management capabilities into the wider EcoMobility technology framework, the consortium demonstrated how software-enabled monitoring and control can contribute to improved battery utilization. The results also reinforce the importance of integrating energy-management technologies with connected mobility systems when developing more efficient transportation solutions.

Large-Scale Demonstrators Reached TRL 5

Another significant project milestone was the validation of all EcoMobility demonstrators at Technology Readiness Level 5 (TRL 5). Reaching this level indicates that the developed technologies were validated in a relevant environment, providing a stronger demonstration of technical maturity than laboratory-only testing. The project combined this validation with work on connected mobility solutions designed to support safer and more efficient transportation. By testing multiple technology areas through large-scale demonstrators, the consortium created a framework for assessing how connected driving, intelligent vehicle systems, battery management and digital mobility technologies could operate together. The results provide a foundation for further development and validation of these solutions beyond the completed project.

Impact on the Digital Transformation of Mobility

The completion of EcoMobility highlights the growing role of collaborative European research programs in advancing digital mobility technologies. Coordinated by TrustMotion and supported by 47 participating partners, the initiative brought together multiple technology domains within a single development and validation framework. Its outcomes include TRL 5 validation across all demonstrators, measurable improvements from smart battery management and connected mobility solutions aimed at safer, more efficient transportation. The project also demonstrates how technologies such as digital twins, intelligent connectivity and automated driving can be developed alongside energy-management systems and multimodal transport solutions. These results position the completed initiative as a practical step in the continuing digital transformation of mobility across Europe.
