‘The best science is international’: UK, EU restore research partnership

Tevva, a British zero-emissions truck manufacturer, isn’t just trying to create a replacement for diesel transports. It’s also serving as a stage for European research.

At least in a manner of speaking. As part of a project organized by Horizon Europe, the European Union’s behemoth scientific research and innovation program, Tevva is working with scientists and companies hailing from both the United Kingdom and the EU to develop the next-generation electric truck.

“And they’ve set some really aggressive objectives, with difficult range and efficiency targets,” says Stuart Cottrell, Tevva’s head of energy services and government partnerships.

Having access to the capabilities of partners from countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, and Greece has helped Tevva see what’s possible in pushing for greater efficiency
