The EVE – Electric Vehicle Systems programme is aimed at companies and research institutes that work with electric vehicles and machinery and the components and systems used in them. The long-term goal is to increase the amount of business related to electric vehicles and machinery from the 2010 figure of EUR 200 million to approximately EUR 2 billion by 2020.

The aim of the EVE programme is to create a community of electric vehicle and support system developers with close contacts to international research and business networks. The programme also focuses on developing test environments and standards for the industry.
