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.

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