INTERACTIVE FULLY ELECTRICAL VEHICLES SRL

Their core work

IFEVS is an Italian SME that designs and develops fully electric vehicles with a focus on low-voltage, modular powertrain architectures and lightweight vehicle platforms. They bring practical EV integration expertise to EU consortia — working on battery systems, electric drivetrains, power electronics, and vehicle-level energy management. Their recurring role across transport projects shows they serve as a real-world testbed and integration partner, taking research components and fitting them into working electric vehicle prototypes. They also contribute manufacturing know-how for scaling EV production, particularly for affordable multi-passenger and commercial electric vehicles.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 phase (2015–2018), IFEVS focused on foundational EV technology — optimizing energy management, integrating components for affordable electrified cars, battery safety, and flexible manufacturing. From 2019 onward, their work shifted toward manufacturing scalability (microfactories, robotized integration), system-level security for connected vehicles, and high-efficiency modular drivetrains designed for mass production. The trajectory shows a company moving from R&D-stage EV component work toward production-ready, secure, and scalable electric mobility solutions.

IFEVS is converging on affordable, mass-manufacturable electric vehicles with modular architectures — expect future work in production automation and vehicle cybersecurity.

How they like to work

IFEVS operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, across all 11 projects. With 135 unique partners across 23 countries, they maintain a broad and diverse network rather than relying on a tight circle of repeat collaborators. This pattern suggests they are a sought-after integration partner — the kind of SME that larger consortia bring in because they can put research results into a working vehicle platform and provide real-world validation.

IFEVS has built an extensive European network of 135 unique partners across 23 countries, heavily weighted toward transport and electronics consortia. Their Italian base in Piedmont — a region with strong automotive heritage — positions them well within Southern European manufacturing and mobility networks.

What sets them apart

IFEVS occupies a rare niche as an SME that bridges electric vehicle design with manufacturing scalability. Unlike large OEMs, they are small and agile enough to serve as an integration testbed within research consortia, while unlike most research labs, they bring real product development and manufacturing perspective. Their combination of EV powertrain expertise with advanced manufacturing knowledge (microfactories, robotized production) makes them particularly valuable for projects that need to demonstrate a path from prototype to production.

Highlights from their portfolio
