Urban Climate Adaptation in the Nordics
With climate change accelerating, climate adaptation is becoming an increasingly important topic for the world’s cities, which continue to grow and contribute immensely to global emissions. While transport-related public space in cities is too often neither sustainable nor effective, Nordic cities have pioneered world-leading solutions for transforming public space which – apart from helping reduce […]
SEVES
The development of transport electrification means the unsustainable production of expensive batteries including the high consumption of raw materials and, at the end of the life of battery electric vehicles (BEV), their energy-intensive recycling. Sustainable electrified urban transport requires the provision of peak charging performance for shorter charging times. Extending battery life is offered as […]
Urban Mobility Digital Talent
Through a blended–learning course, professionals and students will learn more about urban mobility and how it will develop in the future. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with and learn from professionals in the sector, which could contribute to job creation in this area. All the partners and the Mobile World Capital will provide […]
Tandem Women-in-Cycling
The programme aims to address the cycling gender gap that is prevalent in many cities by providing aspiring cycling advocates with the information, tools and support to provide training to beginner and amateur women cyclists. Over time, the community of women cyclists can become an important advocacy group for the continued development of safe and […]
H2GO
While electric battery vehicles are becoming a popular alternative to motorised vehicles, they still face some challenges in terms of range, cost, and limited charging infrastructure in some cities. Hydrogen fuel cell batteries could help to tackle these challenges. A consortia comprised of industry, local government and research partners will explore their use in urban light-duty electric […]
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) retrofit solutions for cities and regions
Speeding is the major cause of traffic accidents. As of this year, new vehicles have to be equipped with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems that make sure that a vehicle does not exceed the legal speed limit. From 2024, this regulation will extend to all new vehicles imported into the EU region. As vehicles have […]
