The CIVITAS eLIPTIC project is a research and demonstration project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program to promote sustainable mobility. It has a budget of 5.9 million Euro and involves 33 partners from 8 countries. The project tests new electric public transportation technologies like electric buses, battery-trolley hybrid buses, and using tram infrastructure to charge other electric vehicles. It also looks at integrating public transit with carsharing and using underground power grids to charge other fleet vehicles. The goal is to reduce the use and environmental impact of conventionally fueled vehicles in urban transport.
