Resolve project aims at enabling the development of a range of cost-effective, energy efficient and comfortable ELVs (Electric L-category Vehicles) that will primarily attract ICE car drivers to switch to ELVs for daily urban commutes.
EU cities are increasingly congested due to the demand and usage of motor vehicles that result in emissions and noise levels increase and scarcer parking, affecting the quality of life and health of city-dwellers.
To tackle such problems, European-wide emission targets are becoming stricter and urban mobility plans are being drawn. Future scenarios for EU urban areas see a modal shift in personal mobility from cars to lighter, smaller, more specialised and environmentally friendly alternatives.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement no.653511
Resolve Project aims at making Electric Light Vehicles (ELVs) a practical alternative to cars for urban travel needs, encouraging commuters to switch to narrow-track ELVs (2 and 3 wheelers as well as light quadricycles).
Resolve set the following objectives and strategies in order to tackle the shortcomings of current ELVs:
1.Reducing Powertrain Cost
– Modularity and scalability
– Functional integration
– Low-cost solutions
2.Enhancing Total Vehicle Energy Efficiency
– Regenerative braking
– Light weight architecture
– Smart range management
– New drive cycle for validation
3.Improving Driver Experience
– Tilting vehicles and advanced dynamic control
– HMI for comfort and safety
4.Increasing Attractiveness Of ELVs
-Promoting better understanding of ELV advantages with the public, in particular female drivers
