Up to 1960, automotive manufacturers didn’t worry about the cost of fuel. They had never heard of air pollution, and they had never thought about the life cycle. Ease of operation with reduced cost maintenance costs meant everything back then.

Times have changed. Nowadays, clean air mandates are driving the market to embrace new propulsion systems to substitute or to assist the internal combustion engine. Within the same commitment, the alarming increase of the emissions of greenhouse gases associated with the drain in time of fuel reserves makes it vital for the investigation and the development of renewable energy systems.

EVER2020 is intended to be a forum of specialists coming from both universities and industries, involved in R&D projects in the area of ecological vehicles or renewable energies or both.

EVER2020 attendees will have the opportunity to share their scientific, technical, business and social experiences with other attendees coming from all over the world, through the presentation and the discussion of their recent works either at a lecture or poster sessions.

Organized on the fringes of EVER 2020, the Riviera Electric Challenge 2020 will build on the success they enjoyed in past years. Its aim is to bring together companies and groups carrying out best practices in the integration of electric vehicles into their fleets.

This objective of this event is to complete a route using an electric vehicle using as little energy as possible. The route will start in Cagnes-sur-Mer and end in Monaco, both towns being founders of this event. At each staging post, the participants will be asked questions linked to the implementation of the energy transition in each site.
