After nearly five years of collaborative innovation, the EU Horizon 2020 HELIOS project is reaching its conclusion. We invite you to our final public event, where we will present the project's outcomes, technological advances, and contributions to the future of urban electromobility.
What HELIOS has achieved
Co-funded under EU Horizon 2020 (grant agreement No.963646), HELIOS has addressed critical challenges in electric vehicle battery technology. Our consortium has developed and integrated innovative materials, designs, technologies, and manufacturing processes to create smart, modular battery packs with hybrid mixed-chemistry architecture. These scalable solutions are designed for diverse urban mobility applications—from mid-size full electric vehicles to electric buses.
What you'll experience
Technical presentations from HELIOS experts on key innovations in battery performance, energy density, safety, and Levelized Cost of Storage (LCoS)
Live demonstration of our battery pack technology integrated into a Bozankaya E-Bus during a test drive
Insights into project results including demonstrator performance data and real-world validation
Networking opportunities with project partners and stakeholders in sustainable urban transport
The conference will take place at the facilities of project partner Bozankaya, with both in-person and online attendance options available.
Address: Sincan Organize Sanayi Bölgesi, Ahi Evran Mah., Artuklular Sok. 3/B, 06930 Sincan/Ankara, Türkiye (view on map)
