New CORDIS Results Pack: Building European capacity for Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility

New mobility solutions enabled by connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) will increase the safety, traffic efficiency and accessibility of Europe’s road transport system. This CORDIS Results Pack highlights 15 EU-funded projects addressing the technological, regulatory and social challenges of automated transport systems, paving the way for more sustainable and equitable transport in the future.

The European Commission’s Strategic Dialogue on the Automotive Industry, launched in January 2025, reflects its strong support for the transformation of the European automotive industry in a fast-changing and competitive world. CCAM technologies offer a path for achieving a more sustainable, safe, efficient and competitive mobility ecosystem.

CCAM is a key area of interest for CINEA, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. Under Horizon 2020, EUR 300 million was awarded to research projects to advance connected and automated mobility. A further EUR 500 million is being delivered through the Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, under its Cluster 5 on Climate, Energy and Mobility challenges, to support the development, demonstration and take-up of highly automated and connected driving systems.

The topics on automated mobility are co-programmed with the CCAM partnership, a public-private partnership which aligns efforts of more than 200 stakeholders in academia, industry and policymaking to accelerate the development of CCAM technologies and services in Europe. This initiative aims to promote innovation, economic growth and environmental sustainability within Europe’s automative sector and deliver large-scale, real-world demonstrations by 2030. 

Main areas of research include vehicle technologies (such as hyper advanced perception, AI-based decision-making, and software development), validation methodologies, and socio-economic and environmental impact assessment, all working towards their integration and large-scale deployment within the transport system, providing users with cutting-edge and inclusive mobility solutions.
