The European Drive C2X project has reached its main milestone in the successful implementation of the Drive C2X communication system and the start of field operational tests (FOT) of cooperative systems all over Europe.

The third and final demonstration event on 13 and 14 June at the project's Swedish test site at Lindholmen Park in Gothenburg provides a unique opportunity for visitors to gain hands-on experience of the Drive C2X functions in a running FOT.

Fostering the global deployment of cooperative systems, Drive C2X will host a workshop for experts in the field on 13 June, demonstrating side by side the European approach to testing methods and the US concept of model deployment.

Visitors will be introduced to cooperative driving and will have a chance to experience its benefits and discuss them with the project team. In particular, participants will have the opportunity to drive equipped cars and to follow the running FOTs on the Drive C2X test sites in Spain and the Netherlands, through live stream real time video transmission. On 14 June, the exhibition will be open to the general public.   

Drive C2X has also been deployed in six other test sites in Europe: Tampere, Finland, Versailles, France, Frankfurt, Germany, Brennero, Italy, Vigo, Spain, and the system test site at Helmond in the Netherlands).  Each test site has a local fleet of vehicles provided by Drive C2X partners.
