Zero and Low Carbon Mobility Ideas – Made in Germany

With its extensive climate protection strategy, Germany has provided a fertile framework for innovation. Many diverse mobility solutions have been developed and implemented by German companies, cities and initiatives. This brochure presents ten hands-on approaches to climate-friendly mobility and green logistics. It includes concrete projects in the areas of urban passenger and freight transport, covering:

• integrated and sustainable mobility concepts (mobility stations, Match Rider, smartPORT
  & cargobikes),
• effective promotion (city cycling),
• innovation in technologies (eBus & eHighway),
• smart assessment (PTV, EUREF campus)

 

While this selection is not meant to be comprehensive, it may provide new ideas and inspiration to utilise smart mobility solutions to reach substantial GHG emission reduction in the transport sector – made in Germany, but applicable worldwide.
