RD&D Programmes

In the framework of the Austrian Programme on Technologies for Sustainable Development, developed by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT), there are some energy related activities for transport. For example, some 7 million Euros will be spent in the new A3-Technology Programme (Austrian Advanced Automotive Technology) for new propulsion systems, energy efficient auxiliary devices and alternative fuels. The programme "MOVE -- Mobility and Transport Technology" promotes research and development projects in the field of transport and mobility by funding demonstration projects capable to trigger innovation in the transport system. For this programme, about 2.9 million Euros are budgeted annually.
