The new Biennial Full Report shows how the impact of CCAM is building a European ecosystem
This new Biennial Full Report covers the progress made by the CCAM partnership and its funded research projects from June 2023 to December 2025. It not only shares project results but also shows how European research and innovation have built up knowledge and skills that make it easier to deploy CCAM solutions.
Over the cited time period, the CCAM portfolio counted 38 projects funded by the Horizon Europe programme, covering all areas of CCAM research.
- Out of the 38 projects, 27 have run tests and demonstrations with about 135 vehicles, covering over 115,000 km in real-world settings.
- We count 43 demonstration sites across Europe, which is more than the SRIA’s target of 30. 11 cities are either starting or have already launched CCAM services. Deployment is also happening in 3 areas of the TEN-T network.
- 84% of projects have used shared methods, tools, and taxonomies. 26 projects have used the EU-CEM (European Common Evaluation Methodology), and the FAME Knowledge Base now lists 480 CCAM projects. 76% of projects are exploring new areas like AI, data analytics, and cybersecurity. A growing number of projects is also looking at social aspects in their research.
These numbers show that CCAM is becoming a more organised and measurable ecosystem. By linking results from technology, testing, policy, social factors, and real-world use and through sharing knowledge and methodologies, there is now a stronger focus on LSD deployment and integration. This being important for Europe’s competitiveness.
As the report emphasises, autonomous and connected mobility cannot develop on vehicle technology alone. Vehicles have to work with both physical and digital infrastructure. Data needs to move between systems. AI must prove it is safe and trustworthy. Solutions should work across borders, and testing methods need to be similar. Everyone involved, from authorities, cities, operators, industry, researchers, to users, should take part in building and integrating Europe’s transport system. Every aspect is interlinked, and achieving this at the European level so far is the result of strong coordination. For the next stage, CCAM deployment across Europe will require even greater coordination, which is essential to its success and to Europe’s leadership and sovereignty.
The next framework should build on CCAM’s achievements. The CCAM association and its ecosystem are ready to lead this coordination in FP10 and turn the progress so far into real results that help Europe stand out internationally. Let’s face international competitiveness the European way!
