Overview
Background & policy context:
E-bikes, the new generation of clean and energy efficient vehicles, combine technology innovation with a realistic solution for everyday sustainable transport. The Pro E-Bike project promotes E-bikes — a term that includes electric bicycles and electric scooters — for delivery of goods and passenger transport among private and public bodies as an enticing alternative to 'conventionally fossil fueled' vehicles.
Only a few examples of E-bikes' usage include delivery companies, public administration and inhabitants of European urban areas. The ultimate aim of the project is to prompt a decision by policy makers, businesses and individual citizens to replace their conventionally fueled vehicles with E-bikes.
Objectives:
The project aims to:
- Develop a business models (for transport of passengers, goods transport and mixed transport) that will increase the competitiveness of stakeholders who are using E- bikes
- Make a detailed overview of initiatives and technology
- Create a multilayer E -bike simulation tool for target groups (calculating costs and benefits of introduction of E- bikes in their business)
- Increase investment and usage of electric bicycles and scooters (E- bikes) for delivering goods and for services in target groups by the end of the project comparing to initial state.
- Make action plans for cities regarding E-bikes utilization and incorporation of E-bikes in city transport strategies
- To contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions.
