Step-by-Step Approach
Inform
Boost capabilities of local and national authorities, public transport operators and entrepreneurs about innovative urban e-mobility solutions across various transport modes by informing them about tools to plan, assess, implement and operate e-mobility solutions.
Capabilities to develop policy, to implement business models and to operate e-mobility solutions are a vital step the transition process towards sustainable mobility.
The first pillar of this project builds on a range of tools, methods and guides and adapts them for a comprehensive toolbox on e-mobility solutions across all modes.
Inspire
Foster the take-up of e-mobility innovations by businesses, start-ups, local and national governments and transport operators by inspiring officials, operators, industry and businesses through peer-to-peer exchange on innovative e-mobility products and services.
Implementing new polices, adopting new technologies or testing new business models can be inspired by peer-to-peer exchange.
This pillar facilitates exchange among city officials, transport operators and entrepreneurs to share their experiences on specific technologies, policy and infrastructure measures, implementation processes, operations, business and financing solutions.
Initiate
Strengthen policy and business collaboration by initiating partnerships between local and national governments and local and European entrepreneurs and supporting the development of new e-mobility models business implementation plans.
E mobility solutions need a solid economic and operational concept to flourish.
This pillar of the project initiates partnerships among local and European companies and facilitates the joint development of business models, building on sound assessments of economic, social and environmental costs and benefits.
Implement
Create reference models for e-mobility innovation by implementing demonstration actions to test innovative e-mobility technologies and services, foster their replication and ensure their long-term sustainability.
Implementation is the evidence basis of the innovation. Demonstration projects serve as proofs of concept and their evaluation is the enabler for up-scaling. Several demonstrations in different contexts are necessary to show the adaptability of e-mobility innovations.
Impact
Contribute to global sustainability and climate goals by boosting the impact of this project through the integration of the innovative concepts into policy, funding, operation, research and business practice.
Long-term impacts can only be achieved if e-mobility innovations are embedded in local and national policies, in business strategies and operations, funding and financing programmes. This pillar of the project will help integrating the innovations initiated and tested by the project into local, national and global policy, finance and business decision making processes.
