eCoMOVE<br />
(Cooperative mobility systems and services <strong>for</strong> energy efficiency)<br />
The project will tackle three main causes of avoidable energy use by road vehicles:<br />
• Inefficient road planning and route choice<br />
• Inefficient driving per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
• Inefficient traffic management and control<br />
eCoMove intends to achieve this reduction through exchange of in<strong>for</strong>mation between<br />
vehicles and between vehicles and the traffic infrastructure.<br />

Taking into account that 73% of all petrol consumed in Europe is today burnt by<br />
transport, the introduction of electric vehicles is<br />
urgent. However, in order to buy and use electric<br />
cars, customers need to be free from “range<br />
anxiety”, i.e. the fear to get stranded because<br />
the car runs out of battery power. The rationale<br />
of the ELVIRE project is there<strong>for</strong>e to contribute<br />
significantly to neutralizing drivers’ range anxiety<br />
and encourage customers to take up electric road<br />
vehicles.<br />
ELVIRE<br />
ELVIRE aims at a system that anticipates and is aware of both users’ charging needs and<br />
the state of the grid. As such, it will be a smart system providing new functionalities and<br />
new business opportunities at the interface between the car and the energy supplier.<br />
