EAVmove – Feasibility Study into the expansion of zero-emission EAV products into the Passenger Transport market (PHV)

电动辅助车辆(EAV)的愿景是为机动性和城市挑战提供世界一流的解决方案，以造福环境和人们的生活质量。EAV现有的产品阵容专门针对城市商业车队-通过使用一种设计理念从概念上从轻型商用车(LCV)向下工程而不是从自行车上向上工程，成功地解决了城市送货的“最后一英里”挑战。EAV已经能够开发出市场上最符合人体工程学的eCargo自行车，并得到了市场合作伙伴的批准。EAV已经对他们的货运自行车形成了强大的兴趣管道(来自DPD(GB 550k)的50 Eav)；客户正在进行的销售包括亚马逊、皇家邮政、阿斯达/沃尔玛、Postnord、Co-op、EDF Energy、丰田金托和Faxi，到2021年将带来价值超过500万GB的机会。为了利用这一点，EAV目前正在通过一项创新贷款扩大规模，开发一条生产线，每月生产100辆。这个项目是EAVmove，一种四轮电动踏板动力乘用车(Pedicab)。目前，在满足城市环境限制和PHV功能要求(行李容量、乘客体验)方面，还没有合适的零排放替代方案。该项目的目的是测试将现有EAV产品线扩展到客运市场的可行性。EAVMove将是一款适用于现代基于应用程序的叫车服务(E-haering)的零排放出租车或PHV。EAV车辆不需要专用的快速充电三相网络，大大减少了对网络的需求，与电动汽车相比，可以利用自行车网络在拥堵的城市环境中高效运营，并且具有更大的灵活性/停车通道，能够更接近目的地。它们对环境友好，在运输过程中零碳排放，道路基础设施磨损令人难以置信地轻，颗粒物排放大大减少，提供真正的ULEZ/ZEZ兼容性。与现有EAV系列共享部分将减少工作，加快开发并将风险降至最低。该项目将使EAV能够利用其现有的技术、经验和制造能力来应对新兴市场的缺口。开发一种真正的零排放车辆(ZEV)，以满足当今城市交通系统对客运的需求。此外，EAVmove将支持社会需求，加快将零排放客运引入城市环境，促进更健康的生活方式，增加自行车/零排放交通的可及性，并为日益去碳化的未来提供市场选择。

The vision of Electric Assisted Vehicles (EAV) is to produce world-beating solutions to mobility and urban challenges, with the aim of benefiting the environment and people's quality of life.EAV's existing product lineup specifically targets urban commercial fleets - successfully addressing the "last mile" challenge for urban deliveries by using a design ethos to conceptually 'engineer down' from Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) rather than 'engineer up' from the bicycle. EAV has been able to develop the most ergonomic eCargo bike on the market, with approval from market partners to prove it.EAV have developed a strong pipeline of interest in their cargo bikes (50 EAV from DPD (£550k)); customer pipeline sales include Amazon, Royal Mail, Asda/Walmart, Postnord, Co-op, EDF energy, Toyota Kinto and Faxi resulting in opportunities worth in excess of £5m by 2021\. To capitalise, EAV are currently scaling up through an Innovate Loan, developing a production line to manufacture 100 units/month.This project is the EAVmove, a four-wheeled electric-assisted pedal-powered passenger vehicle capable of carrying up to 3 passengers (a Pedicab).Currently, no suitable zero-emissions alternative to Private Hire Vehicles (PHV) exists with regard to meeting urban environmental restrictions and PHV functional requirements (luggage capacity, passenger experience.Utilising the EAV ethos, the purpose of this project is to test the feasibility of expanding the current EAV product line into the passenger mobility market. EAVmove will be a zero-emission Taxi or PHV suitable for modern app-based ride-hailing services (E-hailing).EAV vehicles do not require dedicated fast-charge 3-phase networks, vastly reducing demand on the network over electric vehicles, can operate efficiently in congested urban environments by utilising cycle networks, and with greater flexibility/access to parking are able to get closer to destinations. They are environmentally friendly, with zero carbon emissions during transit, incredibly light on-road infrastructure wear, and much reduced particulate emissions, providing true ULEZ/ZEZ compatibility.Part-sharing with the existing EAV range will reduce work, accelerate development and minimise risk. This project will enable EAV to utilise its existing technology, experience and manufacturing capability to respond to an emerging market gap. Developing a true Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) that can meet the demands of passenger transport in today's urban mobility systems.Furthermore, EAVmove will support society's need to fast-track the introduction of zero-emission passenger transport into urban environments, promote healthier lifestyles, increase accessibility to cycle/zero-emission transport, and provide market options for an increasingly de-carbonised future.
