The aim of the DELIVER project was to develop an Electric Light Commercial Vehicle (ELCV) with a significant increase of energy efficiency compared to conventional vehicles in the market. The possibility to integrate electric motors into the wheel opens up new freedom in design. The DELIVER objective was to produce and physically showcase design research results that allow for full exploitation of this new freedom. To achieve this key objective, the project developed a design concept for ELCVs with in-wheel motors, which enables at least the same high level of intrinsic safety as known from current conventional vehicles at minimal weight, maximised energy efficiency and optimised ergonomics & loading space. The project culminated in a full-scale driving concept validation vehicle.
