The scope of this paper is to present the development of an urban electric vehicle that has the code name Y-EV and was purposely designed for the city of Athens in the context of a European research project STRIDE-ECVET (Environmentally Clean Vehicle Technologies). The over all design of this electric vehicle was approached with a fresh mind, without being limited by the design practices applied to internal combustion vehicles (ICV). An account of the conditions prevailing in Athens permitted to determine the main specifications for the overall design. The design solutions that were adopted during the development phase are justified on the basis of technological, aesthetic and sociological considerations that are either general or specific to the local market. Among other aspects the problems of batteries selection, batteries location and its impact on mass distribution and on the vehicles dynamic stability are discussed. Seeking to minimize the vehicles weight and maximize its range, structural optimization and crash analysis problems are also discussed. Special emphasis is given to the method of batteries integration to the structure, because of the importance of the subject in case of crash.
