IEA EV Task 52: EVs and Circularity
Electric vehicles have specific challenges to reach circularity, which must be identified and solved adequately. Circularity issues are relevant in all phases of the life cycle – production, use and end of life – so circularity is strongly linked to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of electric vehicles. Austria leads this task and is responsible for the scientific assessment of circularity in LCA. Relevant case studies for the Austrian industry are analysed and the national R&D demand is identified.
IEA HEV Task 45: Electrified roads (E-roads)
Electric vehicles can be charged stationary as well as dynamically while driving on so-called "e-roads". From a systemic point of view, this technology can be an addition to stationary charging and is not competing. Internationally, the academic and political discussion in this field is progressing rapidly. Task 45 aims for a mutual knowledge exchange, a joint understanding of next steps and a contribution of the Austrian position into the international debate.
IEA HEV TCP Task 40: Critical Raw Materials for Electric Vehicles
The production of electric vehicles and batteries requires critical raw materials.

IEA HEV Task 41: Electric Freight Vehicles (Working period 2021 - 2022)
So far, the transformation of freight transport remains one of the biggest challenges on the path to zero emission. The Task's main objectives are to monitor progress and review relevant aspects for a successful introduction of electric freight vehicles (EFV) into the market. Austrian pilot projects on EFV are used to exchange barriers and solution approaches in an international context, especially with regard to substitution potential, costs and energy consumption. Together with incentive systems for the market launch of EFV, this will be discussed with logistics companies, the ministry (BMK) and research institutions.
