Introduction

The objective of the ID4EV project is to develop energy efficient and safe brake and chassis

systems for fully electric vehicles and to improve active safety and comfort. Key systems will be

optimized to the requirements for FEVs. Beside the development and optimization of the most

relevant sub-systems of a vehicle with regard to active safety and comfort, the brake and the

chassis system, optimization on vehicle level will done with new HMI concepts for FEVs.

The project is co-funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Program. The

international consortium comprises the expertise of eight partners from six European countries

ranging from vehicle manufactures and tier one suppliers to research institutes, universities and

testing facilities.

European research projects such as ID4EV require means to communicate the wide scope of

activities and results effectively and efficiently. The dissemination of objectives, concepts and

results to stakeholders and the general public is vital for the project and the consortium partners.

Within the emerging industry for development and production of fully electric vehicles and the

growing market for suchlike cars an effective dissemination of results will help the consortium

partners during the later market exploitation and establishment of subsequent collaborations.

This dissemination plan is the working base for addressing the following target groups:

• The European Commission to get an overview of the planned dissemination activities.

• The steering committee to get an overview of activities, tools, and procedures.

• Work package and task leaders to be informed about the communication standards and

planned activities in order to harmonize the communication and dissemination activities.

• All partners to harmonize the individual communication activities and to keep the whole

consortium up to date on the planning and results. The document provides procedures to

be followed for all dissemination activities.

The dissemination plan is designed to support high quality and far reaching dissemination of the

project results to the various stakeholder groups within the European Union and worldwide. This

document aims at being a reference point for all communication and dissemination activities.

The first and foremost objective for the dissemination plan is to develop an integrated

dissemination strategy. Consequentially measures to disseminate objectives, concepts and results

to the various audiences by means of information material, papers, an internet presence, news and

conferences are outlined and planned in detail.

A vital part of this plan is a list of conferences recommended for dissemination activities. This

database will be updated on a regular basis throughout the project as new conferences are

announced and information regarding deadlines and formalities becomes available. This list will be

made available to the consortium as a separate document. Activities will be reflected in the

progress reports. The actual achievements by the participants and their plans for disseminating

results will be described therein. The dissemination plan will specify the responsibilities of the

ID4EV consortium for presenting the project's plans, knowledge and findings.

1 ID4EV communication framework

1.1 Scientific landscape

The climate debate, limited access to fossil energy carriers and an increasing environmental

awareness keep the European society and politics busy and lead, among other things, to a debate

on principles of individual road transport. In the process a market demand for energy efficient and

environmental friendly vehicles developed which do not depend on fossil energy carriers. The

availability of suchlike vehicles is vital to maintain a modern healthy environment, which, among

other things, is dependent on a high level of individual mobility.

Research and development efforts to meet this challenge are focused on electric driven vehicles

sourcing their energy from batteries, fuel cells or hybrid drives. Regardless of the energy source or

storage system these new drive trains cause fundamental changes regarding vehicle design.

To meet the evoked technological challenges politics, science and economy have joint forces to

develop road transport systems for a greener tomorrow. The ID4EV project is working within this

scientific landscape. It addresses a number of key topics outlined in the 7th Framework Program.

A main objective designated by the European Commission is optimizing environmental friendliness

of road transport by minimizing emissions and energy consumption. Fully electric vehicles are

characterized by excellent energy efficiency and absence of emissions during driving. The

objectives of the ID4EV project are to improve performance, comfort and usability and thereby

consumer acceptance of FEVs. This will lead to a better market penetration of FEVs and, thus, to

an improved environmental balance of road transport.

The European Commission is dedicated to achieving and maintaining the world leadership of

European science and improving the competitiveness of the European economy on the world

market as outlined in the European Union's Lisbon Strategy. The focus of today's research and

development in the field of vehicle technology is the fully electric vehicle. The European excellence

in that field is improved by establishing a European consortium and integrating the expertise of a

large variety of organizations, ranging from vehicle manufacturers to universities.

1.2 ID4EV within the scientific landscape

The ID4EV project is dedicated to improving the overall performance of fully electric vehicles. It is

not limited to the development of or the research on a single aspect or component of FEVs like the

electric motor or the battery.



vehicles


of 46

ID4EV takes a holistic approach to increase consumer acceptance and thereby market penetration

of fully electric vehicles by working on a variety of the most essential vehicle subsystems,

considering safety, usability, performance and comfort.

Therefore the ID4EV project is outstanding within the scientific landscape. The project consortium

will develop components and vehicle subsystems essential for a successful market introduction of

FEV that are competitive to conventional vehicles regarding usability, comfort and safety. Those

efforts make a major contribution to the overall development and research performed on fully

electric vehicles.

Furthermore there are no established supply chains for those vehicle systems. The ID4EV

consortium will help to create a network of partners for efficient and state of the art development

and production of fully electric vehicles. Third parties will be informed about the technological

know-how of the consortium partners by purposive dissemination activities.

1.3 Project focus and objective

Fully electric vehicles must provide equal levels of safety, comfort and usability as conventional

cars. Due to differing technical demands it is not feasible to use unaltered conventional systems as

carry over solutions. New systems have to be introduced and other essential vehicle subsystems

have to be tailor made for FEVs.

The objective of the ID4EV project is to develop energy efficient and safe brake and chassis

systems for the needs of fully electric vehicles and the improvement of active safety and comfort.

Both aspects are important issues for a faster introduction of fully electric vehicles. These systems

will be optimized to the requirements for FEVs. A new approach of a network system as well as

new HMI concepts for FEVs will improve usability and practicality.

Electrified auxiliaries like the brake and chassis systems will lead to new possibilities of vehicle

control and a better cooperative interaction between these distributed systems. For a fast

introduction of fully electric vehicles these systems have to be technically mature and have to

consider a defined fail safe concept. The aim is to provide thoroughly tested electrified brake and

chassis systems. The project will concentrate on the topics of energy efficiency, safety and the

interaction between the vehicle, the optimized systems and the driver.

To reach a significant breakthrough of fully electric vehicles the adapted systems will be tested on

test benches and under real world conditions in demonstrator vehicles to ensure the functionality

and to prove the safety.

1.4 ID4EV communicative approach and objectives

Dissemination of objectives, concepts and results to the different audiences is very important for

the ID4EV consortium. This does not only concern the presentation of engineering concepts, their

performance and marketability in professional circles, but also the demonstration of the high level

of reliability, safety and usability of modern fully electric vehicles to the interested public.

At the expert level, special attention is paid to the presentation of project results at international

conferences and leading discussion circles. At the general level, the interested public is addressed

by the project website, various dissemination media and the press. During the final event and on

various other occasions the project results will be presented to the European Commission using a

variety of methods including demonstrator vehicles.

The dissemination activities address three objectives:

Strengthen the research and development activities on fully electric vehicles: To meet the

targets outlined above to establish greener, more energy efficient and sustainable road transport it

is imperative to combine development efforts. The ID4EV project contributes by publishing

concepts and results to avoid unnecessary duplication of work and, thereby, supporting scientific

and technological progress.

New technologies, especially in a potentially dangerous environment such as road traffic always

tend to arouse fears in potential customers. The project consortium will contribute to establishing

confidence in fully electric vehicles by developing safe, reliable and efficient vehicle systems

and informing the interested public about the project and its results.

New technologies for complex products, such as electric vehicles, require a closely linked industrial

network and an intensive cooperation between partners. European technological and market

leadership in fully electric vehicles can only be achieved by a well organized and comprehensive

network of industrial and scientific partners. The ID4EV project contributes to the development of a

suchlike network by the collaborative approach of the project implementation itself and by

presenting the consortium partners expertise to an industrial audience. This will help the

consortium partners to exploit market chances in the field of FEVs.

The communication objectives differ depending on the various target groups, with each target

group receiving individual messages via specific communication channels:

Public:

ID4EV communication will initialise and keep the dialogue with the public active in order to inform

about the project. New technologies are much more likely to be accepted when the potential users

are well informed. This is vital for a wide spread market penetration of fully electric vehicles. The

messages will focus on the overall benefits mainly using non-technical language.



vehicles


of 46

Experts:

To encourage exploitation of the state-of-the-art and to firmly establish the project within the

existing R&D community, experts need to be regularly informed about ID4EV results. The field of

experts addressed by ID4EV involves researchers from various sectors such as industry and

science experts, strategic research managers and business development representatives. News

will be on technical performance, system characteristics, expected outcomes and results using

scientific terms.

Decision makers:

Industry and government executives are catalysts for research and development. To exploit the

market opportunities derived from the research done in the ID4EV project it is vital to keep decision

makers informed about the state-of-the-art and the resulting customer and environmental benefits.

Industry leaders decide on exploiting specific functions and systems when defining business

strategies and new products. Political leaders set priorities and guidelines for future social

development and prioritize research areas using policy agendas and providing incentives. In order

to achieve support from decision makers, the dissemination strategy will focus on establishing

technical knowledge about the overall performance of fully electric vehicles beyond cruising range

and battery charging time. Key messages will emphasise both, the scientific as well as the

business perspective.

2 Roles and procedures

To ensure high quality dissemination of results a number of specific roles and procedures have

been defined, clarifying responsibilities for dissemination activities. Unaffected by these

arrangements all consortium partners contribute to the dissemination activities.

2.1 Project coordinator

The project coordinator has the full authority and responsibility to make decisions to guarantee the

success of the project. The project coordinator is involved in all major dissemination activities since

adequate news/information spreading is a relevant part of the ID4EV communication policy.

The project coordinator is the main contact person for all external inquires. He represents the

project in general and professional public and is the liaison with the European Commission. His

contact details are enclosed in all press releases and the project website.

The project coordinator has to review all deliverables and reports formally. This includes

publishable deliverables which form an important part of the ID4EV dissemination strategy.

2.2 Dissemination coordinator

The leader of work package 7 acts as an advisor and coordinator for all ID4EV dissemination

activities. He supports the consortium partners on their activities on an administrative level. This

includes assistance in choosing a suitable dissemination platform, formal design according to

ID4EV branding and approval with other project partners.

The dissemination coordinator is not responsible for the preparation of dissemination publications.

Though, he will provide corresponding templates to the partners to warrant project design identity.

Further details are described in chapter 3.

The final event is prepared by the dissemination coordinator. He coordinates the consortium

partners' contributions and ensures that the project results are presented to the appropriate

audience.

2.3 Webpage coordinator

The project website is the main communication channel. The webpage coordinator develops the

webpage and acts as webmaster during the project.

The webpage layout and design as well as the project logo are designed by the webpage

coordinator. As a result the webpage coordinator contributes a great part to the development of the

ID4EV branding.

The webpage coordinator provides basic content for the website and integrates new content during

the project whenever it becomes available. This content is provided by the project consortium and

is described in chapter 4.

2.4 Extended steering committee

The extended steering committee consists of the steering committee as specified in the grant

agreement and a delegate of each project partner not represented in the steering committee. The

formation of this committee was agreed on in the project kick off meeting.

The extended steering committee has to give its approval to all dissemination activities as specified

in the dissemination process (see chapter 2.7.2). This guarantees that all project partners can

review documents before they are published and protect their intellectual property rights.

If intellectual property rights of certain partners are affected in no way by a single dissemination

activity the project coordinator and the dissemination coordinator can exclude these partners from

the decision process by mutual agreement. This applies especially to documents using only

previously published content. This rule is intended to ease and accelerate the decision process

and to prevent unnecessary work for unaffected partners. It is not intended to exclude partners

from the decision-making processes.

2.5 Work package leaders

The work package leaders contribute to the dissemination activities by publishing the objectives

and results of their work packages according to the guidelines specified in this dissemination plan.

They coordinate dissemination efforts within their project teams and act as an interface to the

project coordinator and the dissemination coordinator.



vehicles


of 46

2.6 Partners

All consortium partners are asked to actively participate in dissemination activities using the

resources of their company, their media relations and their scientific and industrial network.

Collaborative publications can be provided by teams of project partners as a joint contribution. All

associates are asked to assist other consortium members by reviewing and approving their

dissemination documents if required and by contributing necessary content.

All dissemination activities must follow the guidelines laid down in the dissemination plan.

2.7 Procedures

2.7.1 Standard material and previously used material

If partners wish to present or release standard material, which was already officially approved as

public presentation or public material, no formal approval is required. The dissemination

coordinator and the project coordinator have to be informed in advance. If there are no objections

both coordinators notify the authors to proceed with the dissemination activities.

2.7.2 Dissemination procedure

To sufficiently consider the interests of all consortium partners and facilitate a profound and

comprehensive dissemination, the following dissemination procedure is established. This

procedure has the purpose to protect the intellectual property rights of all partners, to implement a

satisfactory dissemination, to ensure an efficient use of dissemination material and resources and

to keep track of all dissemination activities. It is designed in accordance with the consortium's

decision made at the kick off meeting that all publications have to be approved by all consortium

partners.

The following procedure shall apply for all dissemination activities. This includes all presentation at

conferences, in journals and other media, public presentations, newsletter, flyers, brochures, press

releases and all other dissemination activities. The level of formalization of this procedure is

balanced to facilitate an efficient dissemination on the one hand and to provide a necessary level

of organization and coordination on the other hand.

Step 1:

Planned dissemination activities will be discussed with the project partners directly involved in the

work packages/tasks affected at an early stage. This will ensure a common understanding of the

contents of the publication and an efficient use of available resources. Thus, disagreements will be

avoided before they occur.



vehicles


of 46

Step 2:

Once a mutual agreement is achieved the dissemination coordinator and the project coordinator

are informed about the planned dissemination activity via email at an early stage, at least three

weeks before submission deadline. The following information is provided:

• Type of the dissemination event

• Partners involved and affected

• In case of a presentation at an event

- Title

- Authors

- Title, date and place of event

- Abstract (in English)

- Title and editor of proceeding or publication

• In case of a publication

- Title

- Authors

- Title of journal

- Date of publication

- Editor

- Abstract (in English)

• In case of a newsletter article

- Title

- Authors

- Date of publication

- Abstract or article (in English)

• If only an abstract is provided: an outline of all foreground and background information used

• Any additional valuable information

• In case of any other dissemination activity all valuable information

Step 3:

The dissemination coordinator distributes the proposal to the extended steering committee and the

project coordinator for approval. After a prior consultation with the project coordinator and the

author the dissemination manager can limit that group to those partners directly involved in the

work package the publication is based on. Any member of that committee can reject the proposed

dissemination activity in case of intellectual property issues. In that case it is the responsibility of

the dissemination coordinator to find consensus.

Step 4:

The decision of the extended steering committee members has to be provided within ten working

days, if there is no response within that period, it shall be regarded as approved.



vehicles


of 46

Step 5:

The dissemination manager informs the relevant partner about the decision. In case of conflict or if

further material is needed, the dissemination manager informs the relevant partner and requests

modifications or additions. This shall be done in close consultation with the objecting partner. If

significant modifications are required the dissemination process shall be started again to identify

any new conflicts caused by the changes.

Step 6:

If the extended steering committee approves the proposed dissemination activity the respective

partner proceeds to realise the proposed dissemination activity.

Step 7:

As soon as the dissemination activity is realised, the partner shall upload the material to the

projects document server for further use by the project consortium. In case of subsequent use of

that material the providing partner shall be notified.

The dissemination manager will keep records of all steps taken during the dissemination activity

and archive the materials.

2.7.3 Usage of partners names and logos

The following organisation names and logos should be used for all external communication

activities about ID4EV (in alphabetic order). The logos will be made available at the document

4 Communication activities

The following communication tools and media will be used for dissemination activities addressing

the various stakeholders.

Figure 2 - Communication activities

For each work package exploitable results will be identified by the work package leader in

cooperation with the consortium partners. Appropriate dissemination activities will be determined

and carried out.

4.1 Deliverables

The project deliverables are the main instrument to document the progress of work and the project

outcome. A number of theses deliverables are classified as public and will be published on the

project website. These publications make projects results available to stakeholders and the

interested public on a technical level. The deliverables and their dissemination level are listed in

the description of work.

4.2 Project website

The project website (www.id4ev.eu) is the main dissemination channel to the interested public and

a gateway for everyone interested in the project.

Figure 4 - Website structure (source: D07.1)

4.3 Newsletter

The newsletter is an easy to use, fast and informal means of dissemination and integral part of the

webpage. It will be published on the website and a subscription function will be implemented. Old

newsletter will be made available online in an archive.

The newsletter as a means of communication will be used whenever new and valuable information

is available that should be distributed to the stakeholders and the public. The information can be

included in the newsletter itself or the newsletter could inform about another new document

available on the website.

4.4 Press releases and press attention

Press releases are used to inform the relevant media about major events during the project

implementation. The extended steering committees approval has to be granted prior to the

publication of all press releases.

The press releases are distributed using the established PR contact of all project partners.



vehicles


of 46

Any relevant articles published about ID4EV will be documented in the news section of the

webpage. All project partners are kindly asked to bring such articles to the dissemination

coordinator’s attention once they have been spotted.

4.5 Posters

All posters designed during ID4EV project shall be based on the poster template provided to the

consortium to ensure a consistent appearance.

For the final event, posters will be used to present the project results on a detailed level. These

posters will be provided by the work package and task leaders.

4.6 Conferences

Conferences are a fundamental part of the scientific world. They provide opportunities to network

with other experts and to exchange scientific expertise and ideas. ID4EV will use the well

established international system of conferences and conventions to consult other specialists and

publish results of the project on a scientific level to a professional audience.

The dissemination coordinator provides a list of suitable conferences including basic information

like submission dates, procedures and contact details. Since this information is not yet available for

all conferences that will take place during the project implementation, the list will be updated on a

regular basis and made available on the project document server.

Annex I of this document contains a preliminary and shortened list of conferences. A more detailed

list is available on the project document server and will be updated regularly to include newly

available information.

If it is intended to visit a non-European conference technical formalities have to be checked with

the project officer in advance. Otherwise travel expenses might not be refunded.

At the time of writing this document no decision has been made regarding which conferences will

be attended. Due to the large number of conferences on electric vehicles a selection of the most

prominent conventions has been made. The consortium partners are free to use other conferences

for their dissemination activities.

4.7 Papers

Coequal to conferences papers published in peer-reviewed journals are a very important and well

established way to publish and document results of research activities.



vehicles


of 46

A large number of peer-reviewed journals on vehicle technology in general exist. For practical

reasons a selection has been made embracing journals considered suitable for the dissemination

of the expected project outcome. The consortium partners are free to use other journals as

publication platforms. At the time of writing this document no decision has been made which

journals will be used to disseminate project results.

The list can be found in Annex II of this document and on the document server. Detailed

information about the journals and procedures to place articles are provided.

4.8 Final event

The final event will be a major dissemination activity used for the presentation of project results in

an interactive way to all stakeholders, the professional circles and the general public. The project

outcome will be presented using a large variety of means ranging from posters and presentations

to demonstrator vehicles. The activities related to that event will include:

• Setting up a detailed plan and timetable for the preparation of the event

• Developing the program and contents

• Coordinating the partners contributions

• Communicating the event to the stakeholders

• Providing location, logistics and catering; selecting external service providers and

negotiating contracts

The event will be organized with the support of the project coordinator, the steering committee and

all consortium partners. All partners are required to represent their company and to present their

project outcome. Dissemination material has to be contributed according to project findings and the

commitments stated in the Description of Work.
