Description

Horizon 2020 project. The project aims to demonstrate how light electric vehicles (electric bicycles,
electric scooters, tricycles and electric cycle panels) can be successfully integrated into urban mobility,
offering cost-effective solutions for people, business or tourism, as well as for goods.

The six European cities involved in the demonstration phase (Bari, Genoa, Rome, Berlin, Malaga,
Trikala) are each experimenting with a different fleet of EL-Vs, to respond to specific mobility problems.
Users in the pilot cities will be able to use Elviten services through mobile and fixed device applications
for booking charging points, managing electricity roaming, booking sharing services, and using the
electric vehicles provided for the project.

Special tracking equipment installed in the EL-Vs will record the speed, potential delays and movements
of vehicles in the city. The data collected will be used by the project partners to generate guidelines and
business models for service providers and vehicle manufacturers.

The idea is to provide the right tools to implement safe, comfortable and simple use of these vehicles
through replicable schemes and support services for public authorities in other European cities.

Major achievements

● Demonstrate the advantages of EL-Vs in six European cities.

● Integrate existing charging stations into in a wide, open platform for users.

● Incentivise the use of EL-Vs for occasional and regular urban travellers through easy-access tools.

● Analyse trip and user data to make recommendations available to public authorities in other
European cities
