The University of Patras made a prototype electrical car. It was called Rio after a resort next to this university. I understand the Greek branch of Nissan (Teocar) was involved in it.

E-240 Rio by University of Patras?
If I'm right, I still think it should be DeAutogids' point...I just Googled "university of Patras" plus "Citycar" and found that name.

Exactly! You've found it!
I'll give both a single point. DeAutogids was too close and you've found the complete name! Well done!

According to my Greek source it was based on previous work on the Neorion Bicini. He calls it a blatant copy
