๐๐๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป is emerging as a transformative solution for achieving zero-emission mobility and driving Europeโs green transition. As a clean fuel, it holds the potential to decarbonize transportationโespecially heavy-duty vehicles and public transportโwhere battery-electric options face limitations.

To achieve this ambition, the consortium builds on a solid and diverse Quadruple Helix partnership of 19 entities, coordinated by CTAG (Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia), combining the expertise of:
โข 8 clusters โ CEAGA, NextMove, AutomotiveNL, SHVA, Autoklastr, MSVK, MOBINOV, Green Tech Latvia
โข 4 RTOs โ CTAG, ITECAM, CNH2, Fundaciรณn del Hidrรณgeno en Aragรณn
โข 7 SMEs โ Little Car, iD Services, Drive Line Systems, ARPA, Ecoinversol, Zebra, Electrify.
Associated entities โ the Galician Hydrogen Association (AGH2), the Government of Aragon, and the Research and Innovation Agency of Castilla-La Mancha (all from Spain).
