DUMAREY AUTOMOTIVE ITALIA SPA

Their core work

Dumarey Automotive Italia is a Turin-based automotive company that works on vehicle electrification, shared mobility solutions, and intelligent transport systems. They bring automotive engineering expertise to EU research on hybrid vehicles, e-kickscooter design, and car-sharing platforms. Their work spans from dependable cyber-physical systems in vehicles to user-centric micro-mobility solutions, positioning them at the intersection of traditional automotive engineering and new urban mobility concepts.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 participation (2017-2020), Dumarey worked across broader automotive topics — dependable CPS for vehicles and hybrid powertrain cost-efficiency — reflecting traditional automotive engineering strengths. Their focus then shifted decisively toward urban micro-mobility and shared transport, culminating in their coordination of DREEM (2021-2023) on e-kickscooters and intermodal connectivity. This evolution mirrors the wider automotive industry pivot from pure vehicle engineering toward mobility-as-a-service concepts.

Dumarey is moving from traditional automotive engineering toward lightweight urban mobility solutions and multimodal transport integration — expect future work in MaaS platforms and light electric vehicles.

How they like to work

Dumarey started as a participant in three projects before stepping up to coordinate DREEM, showing a trajectory from contributor to project leader. With 46 unique partners across 12 countries, they operate in mid-to-large European consortia and maintain a broad network rather than repeating with the same partners. This suggests they are adaptable and open to new partnerships, making them approachable for consortium invitations.

They have collaborated with 46 distinct partners across 12 European countries, indicating a well-distributed network. Their Turin base and transport focus suggest strong connections across Southern and Western European automotive and mobility ecosystems.

What sets them apart

Dumarey bridges old-world automotive engineering with new urban mobility — few partners can bring both vehicle-level technical depth and experience in shared mobility business models. Their progression from participant to coordinator on a micro-mobility project shows they can lead, not just contribute. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: an industrial company with hands-on experience in both traditional powertrains and emerging light electric vehicle design.

Highlights from their portfolio

• DREEM
  Their only coordinated project (EUR 558K), focused on e-kickscooter design and intermodal business models — marks their strategic pivot to micro-mobility.
• ADVICE
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 586K), tackling user acceptance of hybrid vehicles — shows their core automotive engineering capability.
• STARS
  Early entry into shared mobility research for European cities, laying groundwork for their later micro-mobility leadership.
