German cities to trial free public transport to cut pollution | World news | The Guardian

German cities to trial free public transport to cut pollution | World news | The Guardian | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
“Car nation” Germany has surprised neighbours with a radical proposal to reduce road traffic by making public transport free, as Berlin scrambles to meet EU air pollution targets and avoid big fines.

The move comes just over two years after Volkswagen’s devastating “dieselgate” emissions cheating scandal unleashed a wave of anger at the auto industry, a keystone of German prosperity.

“We are considering public transport free of charge in order to reduce the number of private cars,” three ministers including the environment minister, Barbara Hendricks, wrote to EU environment commissioner Karmenu Vella in the letter seen by AFP Tuesday.

Innovation fuels Europe’s leadership on shared mobility –

Innovation fuels Europe’s leadership on shared mobility – | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
European cities are stepping up their efforts on shared mobility, aiming to reduce traffic jams and pollution while generating the most profitable business in this field on the planet. In 2015, companies working on shared mobility in Europe generated around €5.1 billion. But the business could increase 20 times and reach €100 billion in 2025, according to some estimates, as more and more companies and cities are getting on board. EU officials, local cities, and companies share the excitement about the popularity and the possibilities of these solutions, which include car-pooling or bicycle sharing, but also sophisticated applications to find the quickest – and still greener – itinerary to reach your destination.

New Shared Mobility Study on Helsinki Confirms Ground-breaking Lisbon Results

New Shared Mobility Study on Helsinki Confirms Ground-breaking Lisbon Results | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it
Replacing private car traffic with new shared mobility services in urban areas dramatically reduces the number of cars needed, significantly cuts CO2 emissions and frees large swathes of public land for uses other than parking – without making it more difficult for users to get from door to door.These initial results from ground-breaking shared mobility simulations using mobility data from Lisbon (Portugal) have now been largely confirmed in a further study using data and focus group results from Helsinki (Finland).

An experiment with EU funded sustainable transport

An experiment with EU funded sustainable transport | Energy Transition in Europe | www.energy-cities.eu | Scoop.it

"A train ride offers time for reflecting on how the EU budget can be put to use for the common good.
This blog post is the result of a small experiment whether I can write something meaningful during the 25 km commute from the small wine town Pezinok to Slovakia’s capital Bratislava.
The wifi equipped train I’m using has electricity plugs and bike racks. It was financed with the help of European Structural and Investment Funds and is the kind of low-carbon, citizen-friendly transport solution that civil society groups across Europe want to see prioritised in the next EU budget."

En prenant en compte le cycle de vie des voitures actuelles, il plébiscite plutôt l'usage du bioGNV, une solution majeure pour envisager la mobilité de demain.
