FREVUE

The goal? To provide an alternative to diesel vehicles through the new generation of electric vans.

By exposing over 80 Electric Freight Vehicles (EFVs) to the day-to-day rigours of the urban logistics environment, FREVUE aimed to prove that the current generation of electric vans and trucks can offer a viable alternative to diesel vehicles, particularly when combined with state-of-the-art urban logistics applications, innovative logistics management software, and with well-designed (local) policy.

FREVUE established demonstrators in eight of Europe’s largest cities, including six capitals: Amsterdam (Netherlands), Lisbon (Portugal), London (United Kingdom), Madrid (Spain), Milan (Italy), Oslo (Norway), Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Stockholm (Sweden).

These cities provided a diverse political and regulatory setting in which EFVs were introduced. Moreover, each of the project demonstrators also comprised a unique package of measures which were implemented thanks to the close cooperation of public local authorities, industry and research partners.

Key deliverables:

The project was funded under the European Union's Seventh Programme Framework for Research.
