Dear all Electric vehicles are a hot issue in Europe. In Norway generous incentives have created the largest market for electric cars in the world, with a market share of over 20 percent of new vehicle sales so far this year - and the number is rapidly increasing. Norwegian Centre for Transport Research will arrange a Conference on electromobility 11-12 June in Oslo where we present status for electric vehicles in Europe and in Norway, policy and incentives - and discuss the road ahead. We present results from the EU research project COMPETT (Competitive Electric Town Transport). Some important research questions: How can EVs come into use to a greater degree? What are the most likely niches for EVs? What kind of EVs can most easily become alternatives to internal combustion engine vehicles? What are the implications? Please read more and find the detailed program on our website, www.toi.no/english. Kind regards, Vivill Vinsrygg Institute of Transport Economics - Norwegian Centre for Transport Research
