EUCAR moots collaborative research
EUCAR, the European Council for Automotive R&D, is the research body of the European automobile manufacturers. It initiates and coordinates pre-competitive research activities in four key areas: environment, energy and fuels; road safety; mobility and transport; competitiveness.
Projecting for 2008, the incoming EUCAR chairman Christoph Huss, Senior vice-president for science, traffic and vehicle regulations at BMW, added: “Increasing the collaborative effort of all key stakeholders will allow the automotive industry to both deliver timely results and step-up R&D efforts. Especially renewable energy production and alternative fuels are among the most important research fields for the next decades. Mobility and transport of goods and persons are areas where the automotive industry should further strengthen its engagement, and EUCAR will be used as our common body to do that.”
