An Italian-led European consortium is piloting an assembly line for a small electric car developed in an EU-funded project. The vehicle sets new standards for quality, efficiency and safety in the booming market for ‘micro’ electric vehicles.
The environmental benefits of electric-powered cars are well known, but today’s models tend to be large, heavy and expensive compared to their conventional cousins.
EU-funded researchers working in the WIDE-MOB project have developed a small and highly efficient electric car for use in towns and cities. The work has swept aside many of the technical obstacles hindering full commercialisation and set the standard for a new class of safe, efficient and clean vehicles.
