Dresden Leads EU Project for Sustainable Mobility
Dresden, a city in Europe, is set to lead the way in sustainable mobility through its participation in the 'MOBILITIES for EU' project. Alongside 28 other institutions from nine European countries, Dresden is working to demonstrate innovative urban mobility solutions that are both energy-efficient and user-oriented. The project, funded by the European Commission, aims to create concepts for passenger and freight transport that can help combat climate change.
Dresden, one of two Lead Cities in the project, will showcase the effectiveness of 27 mobility solutions in eleven pilot actions. These include autonomous electric buses and a decentralized data ecosystem for automated driving. The city's involvement in the project is part of its broader goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2030, a mission it shares with 111 other cities.
The project's key themes include electrification, automation, and connectivity. By developing these areas, Dresden aims to accelerate the transition to climate-neutral traffic in European cities. The results of the project will help create a Climate-City-Contract, specifying the path to climate neutrality for Dresden. Additionally, the project seeks to develop new business fields for the participating actors.
Dresden's involvement in the 'MOBILITIES for EU' project is a significant step towards its climate neutrality goal. The city's demonstration of sustainable mobility solutions not only benefits its residents but also contributes to Europe's broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector, which accounts for over 30% of the continent's total energy consumption.
