Sustainable transport and mobility management

Alter-Motive Policy Tools

[EN] The core objective of the Alter-Motive project has been to derive an action plan for implementing effective least-cost policy strategies (for the EU, specific countries & regions) to achieve a significant increase in innovative alternative fuels (AF) and corresponding alternative more efficient automotive technologies (AAMT) to head towards a sustainable individual & public transport system. AF comprise bioethanol, biodiesel, synthetic fuels, biogas, hydrogen,renewable electricity, LPG & natural gas, whilst AAMT include biofuel, fuel cell & electric vehicles and various types of hybrid systems as well as systems based on natural or biogas.

This Intelligent Energy - Europe project has developed a number of resources, including the Alter-Motive Policy Toolbox and a Internet based scenarios tool.

Carpooling in rural areas, Triangle Region Denmark - ENNEREG Good practice in cooperation in transportation

[EN] The Triangle Region Denmark is implementing a carpooling solution in rural areas based on experiences and knowledge transfer from Vaxjö in Sweden. The carpooling solution was developed in a small village in Vaxjö with 500 inhabitants. The project was developed due to a family’s consideration of buying a second car. The carpooling is circled around a software solution that enables the users to see departure and arrival times for different trips, that is preprogrammed. Unlike other carpooling systems, this is a closed system where everybody knows each other and it gives the users peace of mind.

The carpooling solution is used by commuters, youngsters, and other people who need transport. The solution saves money, the users gets increased mobility, better social relations and at the same time there are less cars and lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Electric mobility centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Sustainable Transport

[EN] One of the strategic central themes for the penetration of the electric vehicle is the creation of a critical mass of vehicles. This penetration is going to be very slow during the first few years for several reasons: the renewal of the car fleet is very slow, the car production provided by major manufacturers for the next few years will be very limited and because the first electrical vehicles that will be commercialized will have high prices. For these reasons, the Basque Government tries to ensure that a critical mass of electric vehicles is put into action, to reach the market breaking point as soon as possible.

One of the strategies to achieve this is the Implementation of a Mobility Center. A mobility centre is a is a point of information on the electric vehicle in which people can be informed about aspects of the electric vehicle such as grants, rents, recharging points, e-vehicles models, etc. E-vehicles renting (through Ibilek) and recharging (Ibil) is also possible.

This Action Plan outlines a framework of policies and measures aiming to intensify the process of realising the over 20% estimated savings potential in EU annual primary energy consumption by 2020. The Plan lists a range of cost-effective measures, proposing priority actions to be initiated immediately, and others to be initiated gradually over the Plan's six-year period. Further action will subsequently be required to reach the full potential by 2020.

Energy Efficiency Transport - Green Mobility on the Move

Publication [EN] This publication (2009) from the European Commision cover 34 projects funded by the Intelligent Energy – Europe programme promoting energy efficiency in transport. It indicates that Transport plays an essential role in the social and economic life of every European and accounts for about 20% of Europe’s primary energy consumption. About 98% of the energy used by the transport sector comes from fossil fuels, which makes it a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Since transport is the fastest growing sector in terms of energy use the EU is determined to do something about this situation through the STEER programme, a mobility action that addresses energy aspects of transport.
