MOBILITIES for EU Project Launches to Green Urban Mobility
The MOBILITIES for EU project has officially begun, with 29 partners gathering in Madrid to work towards greener urban mobility. This five-year initiative aims to reduce transportation's significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, which accounts for over 30% of total energy use. Seven European cities, including Madrid and Dresden, are at the core of this mission, with five others planning to replicate their successful processes.
The project is part of the European Commission's Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, which has 112 European cities committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2030. Madrid and Dresden, as Lead Cities, will demonstrate the effectiveness of 27 innovative mobility solutions in eleven pilot actions. These solutions focus on electrification, automation, and connectivity, key aspects of the European Green Deal's goal to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050.
Urban Transport Labs (UT-Labs) have been established in all seven project cities to involve local stakeholders. The Steinbeis Europa Zentrum is responsible for communicating and disseminating the project results to the public and professionals. Although specific information about the institutions from the nine European countries involved in the project group is not available, their collective effort is crucial for the project's success.
The MOBILITIES for EU project marks a significant step towards sustainable urban mobility in Europe. With Lead Cities demonstrating innovative solutions and Replication Cities adapting these processes, the project aims to reduce transportation's environmental impact. As the second-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, this initiative is vital for Europe's journey towards climate neutrality by 2050.
