Leveraging the EU battery production to achieve net-zero with light electric vehicles
This joint report between EIT Urban Mobility and EIT InnoEnergy looks at batteries for light electric vehicles. Based on both quantitative research and qualitative input from the LEV and battery industry, it aims to assess the potential for EU-made batteries to power a modal shift from cars to LEVs. The report highlights the role LEV […]
Micro-incentives for sustainable mobility in Europe
This study by Factual Consulting explores the innovative concept of micro-incentives for public transport. Micro-incentives are tailor-made reward schemes designed based on flexible and dynamic criteria to maximise the impact of subsidies in achieving financial and societal goals. These criteria could include promoting specific transport modes at dedicated times, days, routes, or for designated user […]
The role of hydrogen in urban mobility
In the transition to cleaner forms of mobility, understanding the role specific low-and zero-emission technologies can play is crucial to target investments and maximise resource use efficiency. This study identifies the main use cases for hydrogen in urban mobility, considering aspects such as competitiveness, market size, and investments needed per segment of the value chain. […]
Unlocking the future of mobility with European data spaces
Improved collection and use of mobility data can make our transport systems more efficient, safer, and more sustainable. Mobility Data Spaces will facilitate the voluntary, sovereign, and secure sharing of data to enable new public and commercial business models and services while respecting usage control and privacy for data owners. This study explores the foreseen […]
