Their participation in the first meeting, held in Brussels on March 27, 2026, marks a significant shift: logistics is no longer a secondary element along the supply chain, but is becoming a central pillar of automotive innovation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EURIAS, an acronym for \u201cEuropean Union Research and Innovation for the Automotive Sector\u201d, brings together around 60 organizations including automotive manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, research centers, and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the group, ALICE plays a strategic role in promoting research and innovation. Drawing on the experience gained in major European initiatives such as 2ZERO, CCAM, the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance (ECAVA), and cross-border trials under the Automotive Action Plan, ALICE helps steer logistics innovation in line with the transformation of the entire automotive sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fernando Liesa, Secretary General of ALICE<\/strong>, stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEURIAS represents a crucial step in ensuring that European automotive innovation translates into concrete solutions and finds full application in real-world logistics operations. Placing logistics at the heart of the European debate means turning technological ambitions into practical, competitive solutions capable of supporting the decarbonization and automation of road freight transport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Einride, a pioneer in autonomous and zero-emission freight transport, brings to the group the perspective of next-generation technologies for heavy-duty transport.
