A2: Concept development: renewables and integrated sustainable urban mobility

 

New fuels and renewable sources are important elements of a sustainable urban transport and mobility strategy, but they will have to be combined with other measures to make a holistic approach. Cities has demonstrated how they plan and integrate renewable energy and new technologies into their sustainable transport strategies. Challenging concepts  has been presented leading to interesting discussions with the participants.

B2: Renewable Energy for Individual Transport
and Car-Sharing

 

The introduction of e-car technology is providing various challenges to users and producers. The acceleration of its introduction might lead to new mobility models and change the roles of car manufacturers into mobility service providers. Interesting and challenging options for cooperation and linkages to public transport and integrated service concepts can result from these developments. Various state of the art models for car-sharing and e-bikes has been presented and discussed.

Perspectives & role of renewables in urban mobility: needs & expectations

 

This plenary consisted of a riveting discussion panel which brought together several stakeholders – car industry, local governments, energy suppliers and environmental organisations – to discuss their different views on the future of renewables in urban mobility. It has been a unique opportunity to understand diverse perspectives and get the „whole picture“ of this dynamic and multifaceted topic. It has also been an occasion for exploring a joint and constructive approach to address the challenges and opportunities offered by this innovative field.
