Smart Connected ElectroMobility holds the potential to fundamentally change today’s transport system and patterns and make a quantum leap towards sustainable mobility. Four European “eMobility” pilot projects (SmartCEM, ICT4EVU, MOBI.Europe, and MOLECULES) joined forces for their launch in the European Parliament on 8 February 2012.

All new cars must be fitted by 2015 with eCall devices to alert the rescue services automatically to road crashes through the public 112 emergency call system, say MEPs in a resolution adopted jointly by the Internal Market and Transport Committees on Tuesday.

The European Commission’s Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign was launched today and represents a three-year initiative aiming to support sustainable urban mobility campaigners in 31 countries. Activities began today with the opening of a registration system to support outstanding actions for fostering positive change in attitudes and behaviour.

On 20 February in Brussels, the CityMove-CityLog workshop brought together 23 persons from various groups of stakeholders including local authorities, industry (freight operators, OEMs), and research organisations to discuss vehicles development to increase the efficiency of urban freight delivery operations in European cities.
