As research will consider the actual state and expected development in different European countries, national similarities or differences will be taken into account. Survey data to be collected during the project will provide the empirical background for in-depth analysis. Respective findings will be used twofold: First, a methodological framework will be developed that builds the basis for further industrial development of tools and services that address new opportunities and challenges when utilising EV within commercial fleets. Second, recommendations will be derived addressing the broad range of stakeholders including policy, industry, and users. Recommendations will consider not only technological solutions, but also economic, political and infrastructural environments notably supporting the customers shift from conventional to electric vehicles. Suitable ELEctromobility for Commercial Transport

Stakeholders such as logistics operators, industry, academia, and policy will be consulted through-out the project to benefit not only from their particular perspective and in-depth knowledge, but also to address and meet their interest. Within the SELECT consortium research institutions will work together with business companies that already have integrated electric vehicles into their fleets or are going to develop supporting services.
