Progress continues on the 5GVEC project for the deployment of the connected vehicle
The companies behind the 5GVEC project, which aims to develop technological solutions based on 5G for the deployment of the connected vehicle, met today to share the progress of the project at DEKRA Spain’s test track facilities, taking advantage of the occasion to also get to know this space located in Malaga TechPark.
The Ricardo Valle Innovation Institute Foundation (Innova IRV) has supported the implementation of this project, which involves the multinational DEKRA, which is leading the project, and the companies Ericsson, Tinámica, Tupl, Softcrits, Premo and Top Digital.
The 5GVEC project, which has received 2.2 million euros through the Single Sector Program 2022, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, will involve an investment of more than 4.6 million euros. Such funding has been granted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation. To this end, the project was submitted to the 5G Sectorial call, financed by the European Union’s Next Generation EU Recovery Fund, called by the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructure.
Connected driving and 5G are becoming increasingly relevant in today’s world. Therefore, the 5GVEC project will support the implementation and validation of these technologies to contribute to solving the challenges of the new mobility to make it safer, more efficient and sustainable. Project members will apply and implement methods to validate the use cases associated with connected and autonomous vehicles using 5G technology, in accordance with international reference standards for connected mobility.
