fronyx selected in AI4Cities tender to implement optimization of charge point usage within European cities

We are proud to announce that fronyx has been selected to take part in phase 1 of AI4Cities, an EU-funded Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project, aiming to help cities accelerate their transition towards carbon neutrality. The project published its Request for Tenders (RfT) on 01.12.2020, looking for AI solutions that can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the fields of mobility and energy, two domains responsible for 82% of all greenhouse gas emissions in European cities.

Fronyx was one of the 97 companies and consortia to submit an application following the RfT., 21 suppliers were selected for the mobility challenge and 20 for the energy challenge. As one of the ‘winning’ suppliers, we will now participate in the project’s Solution Design Phase to further develop our proposed solution in accordance with the input provided by the AI4Cities Buyers Group.

fronyx aims at optimizing the use of electric vehicle charging locations by giving AI-based recommendations and in best-case guarantee availability of charging points on arrival. Thus, it contributes to reducing charging search traffic and enables more efficient utilisation of existing and future EV charging infrastructure.

We are happy to have received the opportunity to further develop this idea over the next three months. Following these three months, the AI4Cities Buyers Group will evaluate which suppliers will continue to Phase 2, the prototyping phase of AI4Cities. You can follow the progress of AI4Cities on the project website and on our own social media channels. For more information email info@ai4cities.eu or info@fronyx.io.
