Project cooperation
Circular Adaptation for Road Vehicle Sustainability (CARS)
Develop circular strategies using RAMS, Optimization, part-out, and digital tools to cut vehicle lifecycle impact and retain embedded value.
- Early idea
- Already defined
- Consortium seeks Partners
- Enabling technologies | Network design of reverse supply chains
- Data technologies | (AI based) process and system control technologies
- Data technologies | (AI based) Material and Product Design, Decomposition and Separation
- Data technologies | Algorithm that shows the (positive) impact of a Circular Economy process or Circular Economy product
- Enabling technologies | Life cycle assessment / Product life cycle management – e.g., Digital Twin / Digital Product Passport
- Enabling technologies | Tools and solutions addressing challenges emerging from product focused regulations (such as the ESPR)
- Data technologies | Simulation models and predictive analytics to assess the scalability of circular processes across industries
- Enabling technologies | Reverse Manufacturing (e.g. adaptive automation for high variance, sorting, sophisticated logistic systems)
- Enabling technologies | AI-driven diagnostic systems, e.g., for assessing the viability of reused, remanufactured, and recycled components
- Data technologies | Data ecosystems for the realisation of circular value creation exploiting the full potential of digitalisation – e.g., harnessing existing, purpose-built platform solutions.
- Enabling technologies | Manufacturing and machine learning, e.g., to increase the flexibility of industrial processes, modular approaches, reduce use of materials, quality assurance and certification of products)
