Description and objectives

E2DRIVER will develop a collaborative-cooperative training platform that drives the automotive supply industry's collective intelligence on energy efficiency.

The platform will provide access to training material, online lessons, guidelines, energy and financial tools, virtual reality modules and a community of key industry players for SMEs to undergo energy audits and implement their recommendations.

To this end, the E2DRIVER training methodology will allow the development of specific training plan itineraries according to the needs of the company and the role of the trainees in the company, which will increase the effectiveness of the training sessions and the awareness of energy issues among the staff.

The development of the E2DRIVER platform will not be a static action resulting from the project implementation, but will allow a continuous update of training material, best practices, benchmarking analysis and guidelines thanks to the implementation of an ontological flip teaching method, which allows trainees to generate their own knowledge and training materials to be shared through the E2DRIVER cooperation networks.

Value proposition

The E2DRIVER platform will be tested and validated in 40 companies in the automotive supply industry in four countries representing more than 50% of EU employees in this sector: Spain, France, Italy and Germany. In addition, a total of 60 trainers will be certified in the E2DRIVER training methodology, which will facilitate the replication of the project results and the business consolidation of the E2DRIVER platform.

The E2DRIVER project will develop a collaborative-cooperative training platform that enhances the automotive sector's collective intelligence on energy efficiency, making SMEs fully aware of the multiple benefits derived from energy audits, while providing them with the skills and information needed to implement its recommendations.

Project results:

  • Identify the needs, requirements and motivations in the automotive sector that could encourage energy audits and collect best practices and success stories in energy efficiency to transfer them to the project audience.
  • Implement a methodology for the development of tailor-made training courses in automotive companies by defining adaptive learning environments according to the circumstantial requirements of the student.
  • Implement the E2DRIVER methodology in 12 pilot companies and 28 replication companies in Spain, Germany, Italy and France, training 60 people.
  • Unlock the implementation of around 65 energy efficiency measures, leveraging up to 13 GWh/year of savings, and triggering the execution of new energy audits in at least 40 SMEs.
