The main objective of the project was to develop light electric vehicles (EL-Vs) in order to test new electromobility services. The test was carried out in cities of different sizes to understand the needs of their respective users and the best ways to promote electric mobility in different settings.

The City of Turin, together with the Polytechnic University of Turin, has taken charge of the development of a new shared electric mobility service to enable service travel between locations, through electric vehicles developed by partner JAC Italy Design Center.
The STEVE project aimed to maximize the impact of demonstrations in several European cities, generate vital data for the next generation of EL-Vs, and support the mindset change needed for successful integration of EL-Vs into the urban transportation system.
STEVE focused on mature and advanced medium-sized cities, as they are the most promising type to experience a strong increase in new mobility services and solutions in the near future, while these developments are already taking hold in Megacities.
STEVE planned to run four demonstrations in four different cities. As each city has a different focus and differs in its objectives, and a common methodological framework was established, covering these prerequisites. The evaluation plan inherited concepts from established methods and other EC projects to derive a common method tailored to STEVE’s objectives and needs. STEVE’s demonstration activities were based on a phased approach in order to achieve its set of objectives. Two iterations were planned to learn from the experiments and apply corrective actions throughout the project. The scientific and technical objectives as well as the specific STEVE city goals covered different impact categories such as environment, user behavior, and mobility.
This project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 769944.
