On 24 March 2022, LEVA-EU has organized the event "The Future is Electric and Light" in Brussels (B): https://thefutureiselectricandlight.com/. The event was aimed at EU officials, LEV-businesses, related associations, academic and research institutes. At the event, DLR presented their research into "Potential of Light Electric Vehicles for Climate Protection through Substitution for Passenger Car Trips - Germany as a Case Study". This research was commissioned by LEVA-EU.

DLR found that half of the kilometres currently driven by car in Germany could theoretically be covered by LEVs. This would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40 percent compared to car trips. That would mean around 57 million tonnes less emissions per year. Each trip for which an LEV replaces a car would avoid on average 88% of the GHG emissions from the substituted cars. From these findings, DLR concluded that Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) have great potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector and thus contribute to climate protection.

"Resource-efficient vehicles are an important element in reducing the climate impact of the transport sector – along with changes in mobility patterns and technological advances," explains Mascha Brost, who led the study. With large and heavy cars, a major portion of the propulsive energy is used to move the vehicle itself, while only a fraction is used to move the occupants. LEVs can significantly improve this ratio. Due to their lower weight, the battery can be smaller, thus also consuming fewer raw materials in production and causing fewer climate-damaging emissions.

The press release on the study is here: https://www.dlr.de/content/en/articles/news/2022/01/20220324_less-emissions-through-light-electric-vehicles.html

LEVA-EU continues to actively use this study to work for better EU legislation for LEVs, which are currently still hindered by major legal bottlenecks. LEVA-EU also uses the study to raise awareness of the potential of LEVs to make transport much more sustainable.

4 meetings found. Download meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
