A new generation of hybrid vehicle to lower fuel consumption and pollution in driving conditions

Tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions of road transport should be reduce by 90% by 2050 to achieve climate neutrality. Less energy intensive architectures than BEV such as HEV and PHEV will play a significant role in the transition towards future mobility solutions.
PHOENICE aims to demonstrate the maximal potential of a plug-in hybrid vehicle, optimised to reduce both fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in real driving conditions.
