IN-MOB is a project funded by the Interregional Innovation Investments Instrument (I3) under the ERDF programme. It builds on smart specialisation strategies to foster innovation in sustainable micromobility across European regions.
The project focuses on the development of innovative electric micro-vehicles (e-bikes, e-scooters and cargo-bikes) to be tested in different contexts. These solutions aim to support sustainable, integrated mobility and improve the way people and goods move within cities.
IN-MOB develops micro-vehicles with a very low environmental impact, using recycled or recyclable materials, and integrating cutting-edge technologies such as next-generation supercapacitors, lightweight wheel-integrated electric motors, photovoltaic-based charging hubs and battery-sharing systems.
The project is built on an existing interregional partnership already involved in joint EU projects on sustainable micromobility: LEONARDO – “MicrovehicLEfOrstaNd-Alone and shaReDmObility” (GA 101006687) and LIFE2M – “Long Life to Micromobility” (GA 101074307).
IN-MOB aims to transform micromobility into a key enabler of sustainable, accessible and integrated transport systems. The project promotes innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact, support public transport and improve quality of life in urban areas.
The innovations developed by the industrial and research partners will be tested in real environments to validate performance, usability and integration with existing mobility systems.
A pilot shared e-scooter service for tourists will be deployed, taking into account local regulations and specific mobility needs of the island context.
E-bikes and cargo-bikes will be tested for their potential integration with public transport and for improving urban logistics, including last-mile delivery.
Micro-vehicles designed with recycled and recyclable materials to minimise environmental impact and support circular economy approaches.
Compact, easily transportable vehicles that can be combined with buses, trams or metro services, improving first- and last-mile connectivity.
Latest-generation supercapacitors deliver energy for medium range and high peak power, ensuring reliable performance even on challenging routes.
Innovative charging hubs powered by photovoltaic energy, equipped for fast charging and battery sharing, enabling efficient and flexible use of micro-vehicles.
