E2DRIVER Community
E2DRIVER will be the home of a networking community where automotive companies and other important stakeholders such as auditors, energy experts and policymakers can get together, share experiences and offer diverse services. This community is important both for improving the results of the training and spurring new ideas for the implementation of energy audits and the recommended energy efficiency measures.
Figure 1. Community forum overview
E2DRIVER seeks to involve the following types of stakeholders:
- E2DRIVER trainers
- Advisory Board members
- Auditors
- Energy experts

- Policymakers
- Others
To date, 12 automotive pilot companies have joined E2DRIVER. They have not only provided the project with the relevant inputs for the development of the training material, but have also assisted with the design of the courses. With their help, E2DRIVER has also gained insights into the characteristics of the automotive sector. The project will further involve 28 other replication companies to test and improve upon the results obtained from the first pilot phase.
