LEVERAGE

The potential of Light Electric Vehicles for the mobility transition

The LEVERAGE consortium aims to explore and enhance the potential of LEVs (such as e-scooters, e-steps, e-bikes and micro-cars) for the mobility transition.

They also determine how this potential can be maximized through enhanced integration of LEVs into the broader mobility system and policy frameworks, as well as through effective governance fostering collaboration between public and private stakeholders.LEVERAGE aims to explore the potential of LEVs for the mobility transition, while developing knowledge and guidelines for governments, transport operators, shared mobility providers, and other relevant stakeholders to maximize this potential. This involves research on the following topics:

  • The impact of LEVs on car ownership and usage in residential areas
  • The integration of LEVs into the multimodal mobility system
  • The effects of LEVs on traffic safety and user experience on (cycling) infrastructure
  • The integration of LEVs into government policies and effective governance for public-private partnerships
