The FASTER Project has been awarded €6,407,513.23 under the INTERREG VA Programme. The FASTER project is a joint proposal across Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland to support the overarching ambition to transition to low carbon transport systems and to demonstrate how each of the three jurisdictions can provide early systems learning in relation to the electrification of transport. There is a total of seven project partners and 15 associate partners from across the three jurisdictions. The partnership will implement the physical rollout of 73 rapid charging stations in the programme area. Led by East Border Region Ltd. the project has considered the common policy ambition across Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is to transition to a low carbon transport system between now and 2040. One of the main barriers to the take up of these electric vehicles is the lack of public charging infrastructure and in particular rapid charging locations. The project aims to ensure that the availability of charging stations is not a major obstacle to Electric Vehicle (EV) market penetration with the proposal to carry out the design, analysis, procurement, installation and operation of 73 Rapid Chargers (50KW capacity) across the three programme jurisdictions. Project Partners: Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, South West College, HITRANS, Ulster University, Dundalk Institute of Technology, University of Strathclyde. (English)
