IN Brief:
- EURIAS has added three new organisations from logistics and transport.
- The additions broaden the expert mix informing the European automotive innovation agenda.
- Supply-chain, autonomous transport, and freight operations are now more visible in the group’s work.
EURIAS has added ALICE, Einride, and Gruber Logistics to its ranks, widening logistics and transport input into the group’s work on the future direction of the European automotive sector.
The additions take the network to around 60 organisations spanning vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, research bodies, and universities. ALICE brings a strong supply-chain and logistics innovation focus, Einride adds an autonomous and zero-emission freight perspective, and Gruber Logistics contributes operational experience from international transport and industrial supply networks.
The expansion matters because the future of Europe’s automotive sector is no longer defined by vehicle technology alone. Supply-chain structure, freight decarbonisation, digital coordination, and industrial resilience increasingly shape how competitive the sector can remain as production models shift and policy pressure grows.
EURIAS is working on the Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda through to June 2026, and the inclusion of these organisations suggests logistics issues will be more visible in the resulting agenda than they have been in more engineering-centric industry discussions of the past.
