Abstract
EVUE is a European funded exchange of experience project for 10 cities developing Electric Vehicle strategies. The initiative demonstrates the benefits of collaboration and shared learning for urban professional and policy makers learning how to integrate EVs at early market stages. It promotes fresh approaches to integrated planning and to delivering the potential of electric mobility in sustainable cites of tomorrow.
Highlights
Cities are responsible for nearly 80% of carbon dioxide emissions, and in the EU transport accounts for around 25% of those emissions
Electric mobility can play an important part of urban strategies to green transport
The EVUE (Electric Vehicles in Urban Europe) project within the URBACT Programme provides a platform for cities to learn together how best to increase the use of electric vehicles
Summary
Cities are responsible for nearly 80% of carbon dioxide emissions, and in the EU transport accounts for around 25% of those emissions. It follows that de-carbonising urban mobility is a critical challenge to create sustainable cities. Electric mobility can play an important part of urban strategies to green transport. The EVUE (Electric Vehicles in Urban Europe) project within the URBACT Programme provides a platform for cities to learn together how best to increase the use of electric vehicles. The three year project aims to explore, exchange and implement ideas on how cities can develop integrated and sustainable strategies to increase the use of electric vehicles. Funded until the end of 2012 the lessons learnt about these very real challenges will be identified and transferred to European and international networks, such as EVS and EDTA
