The project concerns the promoter’s RDI activities in the fields of: (i) Battery powered electric vehicles, and (ii) Hybrid Vehicles, including plug-in hybrids, and natural gas vehicles and (iii) the further development of small conventional powertrains. The project’s activities are located at the promoter’s R&D centres, headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The objective of the promoter’s investments, which will be carried out in the period 2014-2018, is the development of innovative automotive technologies targeting the increase of fuel efficiency in motor vehicles, the reduction of CO2 emissions and of local pollutant emissions.
The project concerns investments in research and development that are expected to be carried out in existing facilities already authorised and would therefore not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under Directive 2011/92/EU. Any possible environmental issue will however be verified during the project appraisal.
The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having a status of contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
