Overview
I-CVUE aims to reduce harmful emissions in urban environments by increasing the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in large fleets, targeting both fleet operators and policymakers. The project is co-funded by the European Commission’s “Intelligent Energy Europe” programme. The aim of this programme is to create better conditions for large scale EV adoption in order to create a more sustainable energy future.
The overall objective of the project is to boost the uptake of EVs in Europe and to replace a significant number of vehicles with their electric counterparts.
I-CVUE will deliver the following tangible outputs during the project lifetime:
• 1000 EVs: The uptake of EVs in fleets includes both purchased and leased EVs
• business cases: Fleets will be offered whole life cost analysis along with emission data and information on the expected commercial benefit of substituting traditionally fuelled vehicles with their electric counterpart.
• regional authority support: a framework to set up incentive programs according to
the specific socio-economic conditions of the city, region or country
• software: a web-based decision support tool applicable for both policymakers and
fleet operators to evaluate business cases and incentive schemes independently.
- Identify and sign up large fleets round Europe which will receive fleet monitoring and analysis free of charge.
- Transfer best practices by applying existing knowledge and capabilities, and by exchanging and disseminating best practices between regions and applications.
- Develop a web-based tool to enable a large number of interested stakeholders across Europe to test their individual cases in their specific regional environments.
