Carver Europe B.V. was a Dutch company that developed and manufactured three-wheeled electric enclosed man-wide vehicles. The company's core technology was the Dynamic Vehicle Control (DVC) system, which enables narrow vehicles to make banked turns,[dubiousdiscuss] aiding stability when turning at high speeds.

Its headquarters, assembly factory, experience center,[clarification needed] and sales and marketing activities, were in Leeuwarden. The engineering team was located in 's-Gravendeel and operated under the name Carver Technology B.V.

The company was founded in 1994 by Chris van den Brink and Harry Kroonen as Brink Technologies Group B.V., although its history can be traced further back to 1990. Since then, the company has seen several changes to its name and structure. The current CEO is Anton Rosier and Chris van den Brink operates as CTO (Chief Technology Officer).[1]

By 2019, Carver produced two distinct vehicle models: the Carver One - a high-speed model with a petrol engine - and a fully electric scooter model called the Carver. The latter was launched in late 2019.[2]

In july 2024 Carver went bankrupt and as a result its website was taken offline.
