Mobility Talks 27: How can better mobility planning reduce air and noise pollution in cities
With many European cities struggling to meet the air quality limits recommended by the World Health Organisation or the ones set out in the regulation, measures to reduce air pollution in urban areas are a central part of the sustainable mobility transition. These efforts are often not limited to air pollution, but often have positive […]
Highlights Report 2024
The annual Highlights Report offers an opportunity to reflect on the previous year’s impacts by shedding light on the activities that took place across the multifaceted organisation. Of the annual Highlights Report, Maria Tsavachidis, CEO of EIT Urban Mobility, explains “This report offers just a glimpse of the projects, initiatives and investments we have managed or […]
Mastering mobility at Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress
The Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress (TMWC), co-organised by Fira Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility, welcomed over 25,000 attendees from 130 countries to Barcelona last week. Now in its fourth year, the congress ran alongside the Smart City Expo World Congress, drawing students, researchers, businesses, city officials and industry experts to discuss this year’s theme: “Move Better.” […]
Mastering mobility: LEV batteries
Light electric vehicles (LEVs) are rapidly becoming a key component of modern urban mobility, with significant growth expected in the industry over the coming years. In Europe, LEVs are already outselling electric vehicles (EVs), with the market projected to triple by 2030 and double again by 2040. In 2022 alone, 10 million LEVs were sold […]
Costs and benefits of the urban mobility transition – 2nd edition
This study, led by EIT Urban Mobility, and developed with TRT Trasporti e Territorio, explores the transition to sustainable urban mobility in Europe through 12 city prototypes, reflecting different urban characteristics. It assesses the costs and benefits of three scenarios to reach the transport sector’s Green Deal targets by 2030 and 2050: Key findings of […]
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 […]
Mastering mobility: understanding the health benefits of active mobility
In an era defined by the drive towards decarbonised transportation, active mobility is often highlighted as a crucial part of the solution. But active mobility, which encompasses modes of human-powered transportation such as walking, cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, running, etc; is more than just a way of getting from one place to another sustainably. Active mobility […]
Mastering mobility: noise pollution
According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), one in five people living in the European Union are exposed to noise pollution and long-term noise levels that are considered harmful to their health. From sleep disturbances to cardiovascular issues, noise has also been shown to even have impacts on children’s ability to learn. These negative impacts […]
Mastering mobility: demand responsive transport
How can mobility providers avoid running empty or near-empty buses through rural areas but still provide public transport for the people who live or work there? And how can cities avoid private car usage during times where public transport availability is low? Demand responsive transport, a relatively niche share of the mobility industry, could provide […]
