Städte brauchen Leichtfahrzeuge

Cities around the world are suffering from air pollution, noise pollution and increasing car traffic. In connection with the desired reduction in CO2 emissions, e-mobility is therefore rapidly gaining momentum worldwide. But the electric car is only part of the solution, because overall consumption of resources, energy and land must also be reduced, especially in urban areas.

Nevertheless, even if the distances to be covered in cities are often short, the desire for individual mobility remains, even with well-developed public transport. This is precisely where light electric vehicles, or LEVs for short, are an excellent solution. With low energy and space consumption, they meet the need for individual transport in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way.

Auch in der City-Logistik, auf der sogenannten „Letzten Meile“, sind bei Kurierdiensten und anderen Service-unternehmen die kleinen LEVs eine erstklassige Lösung. Um die LEVs am Markt zu etablieren, müssen sowohl verkehrs-politische, als auch infrastrukturelle Maßnahmen getroffen werden, denn nur so wird auch die Akzeptanz und Nachfrage der Verbraucher steigen.

Against this background, the idea arose to create a cluster that is explicitly dedicated to the establishment of light electric vehicles and to drive forward their innovative development.
