Horizon Europe Cluster 5

BLUE Engineering S.r.l., based in Rivoli, Italy, is an engineering company interested in joining Horizon Europe Cluster 5 consortia focused on climate-neutral, sustainable and digital mobility.

BLUE provides multidisciplinary engineering expertise across the automotive, railway, aerospace and marine sectors. Its capabilities cover the entire product-development process, from requirements definition and system architecture to detailed design, numerical simulation, virtual validation, prototyping support and demonstrator integration.

Key areas of expertise include:

• Mechanical and mechatronic system design

• Lightweight structures and composite components

• Structural, thermal, fluid-dynamic and multiphysics simulation

• CAE, CFD, NVH and aeroacoustic analysis

• Electric and high-voltage powertrain integration

• Digital twins and data-driven engineering

• AI-assisted design, monitoring and predictive maintenance

• Advanced and additive manufacturing

• Design for assembly, disassembly, repair, reuse and recycling

• Circular product development and lifecycle assessment support

• Virtual testing, optimisation and validation

• Integration of sensors, control systems and embedded software

Within Cluster 5, BLUE is particularly interested in projects concerning zero-emission road transport, electric and modular powertrains, battery integration and durability, sustainable aircraft, noise reduction, autonomous and electric vessels, railway innovation, circular mobility and data-driven product lifecycle management.

BLUE can contribute by defining technical requirements and system architectures; developing components, subsystems and digital models; performing structural, thermal, CFD, NVH and aeroacoustic analyses; optimising designs for weight, efficiency, manufacturability and circularity; and supporting the integration and validation of prototypes and demonstrators.

The company is especially interested in proposals combining engineering, manufacturing and artificial intelligence—for example, digital twins for mobility systems, AI-based optimisation, predictive maintenance, automated design verification, smart manufacturing and data-driven decisions concerning component reuse, remanufacturing and second life.

Depending on the project, BLUE can act as:

• Engineering and simulation work-package leader

• Design and system-integration partner

• Digital-twin or AI-enabled engineering partner

• Technical coordinator for component or subsystem development

• Contributor to validation and demonstration activities

• Engineering interface between research organisations, manufacturers and end users

BLUE is looking for cooperation with vehicle manufacturers, aircraft and marine system integrators, railway operators, shipyards, battery and powertrain suppliers, manufacturing companies, software and AI providers, universities, research organisations, testing centres and end users.

The objective is to build complementary partnerships capable of transforming research results into validated, manufacturable and scalable solutions for competitive, safe and climate-neutral European mobility.
