InclusivEV
Project
Project Brief
InclusivEV is a pan-European, EIT Climate-KIC funded project. The project is demonstrating the potential for zero emission, fully electric vehicles to be used for car sharing schemes in low income, edge of city neighbourhoods. The schemes will provide affordable, flexible mobility, encouraging social equality and improving mobility services to provide access to key services.
Objectives
The project aims to validate the business case for electric car clubs in low-income neighbourhoods to unlock a new market of 13.5 million households, cutting carbon emissions and improving air quality. The project will deploy a total of 90 vehicles across three European cities – Solihull (UK), Modena (Italy) and Valencia (Spain) – to test the operational requirements and consumer demand. The sites will be developed in a phased approach so that each site can learn from each other.
Deliverables
InclusivEV will provide affordable, flexible mobility, encouraging social equality and improving social mobility to provide access to key services such as healthcare, education, leisure facilities and job interviews. By proving the business case for electric car clubs in low-income neighbourhoods, the project has the potential to unlock a new market of 13.5 million households, cutting carbon emissions and improving air quality.
