The TWIN-LOOP project has successfully completed Milestone MS9 – “Energy Efficiency Potential Assessed”, delivering a comprehensive analysis of energy-saving opportunities in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and highlighting the role of Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures.
The assessment identifies the main sources of energy consumption and losses, including drivetrain operation, battery behaviour, thermal management, charging processes, environmental conditions, and user driving patterns. The results show that the greatest efficiency gains can be achieved through a holistic vehicle approach that combines advanced control strategies with optimized interactions between subsystems.
The study also confirms the importance of Digital Twins and TwinOps methodologies as key enablers for future energy optimization. By supporting predictive control, integrated energy management, and continuous learning across vehicle fleets, these technologies pave the way for more sustainable and efficient electric mobility.
The outcomes of MS9 provide an important foundation for the next phases of TWIN-LOOP, particularly the development of digital vehicle twins and energy-aware control solutions within the project’s technical work packages.
Stay tuned for further project achievements and updates.
