The EVERS project is funded by the call “Challenge 6- Mobility and sustainable urban systems”, a program of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche.
Nowaday electric vehicles (EV) provide a major opportunity for decarbonizing transport, and transportation activities in urban cities. However, the electric car industry is still facing two weaknesses. The first one is the limited EV driving range and the second is related to the long charging time. In order to ensure a successful deployment of electric vehicles in the short-term, it is significant to target development towards specific usage categories where the electric vehicle is the most suitable (e.g. urban transport, urban logistic, business fleet) in terms of the driving range, charge capacity, and operating cost, and manage operations of a complex landscape of ecosystem of EVs with focusing on the new optimization challenges aiming to develop efficient models and decision tools to manage the ecosystem of EVs. Thus the EVERS Project focuses on the development of new models, innovative optimization methods and decision tools that manage the ecosystem of electric vehicle routing activities in urban logistic.
