- Objective #1 – Produce the ESPRIT operation
and business model estimation tool to be able to
accurately predict the economic viability of
deploying the ESPRIT transport system in a
variety of different urban/peri-urban
configurations
Objective #2 – Develop the technological bricks
necessary to run the concept
- Objective #3 – Manufacture 3 full functional
demonstrator ESPRIT vehicles consuming less
