TRT makes available to its partners a paper on electric mobility and on the role that it can have in making the trasport sector more sustainable and innovative.

This paper is regards a reflection carried out after a deep knowledge acquired in the fields of traffic planning, research and evaluation. Its aim is to help to define innovative strategies for Italy. TRT considers that e-mobility development would be one of the actions that can make transport sector more sustainable, lowering its dependance on fossil fuels, greenhouse gases. Moreover, it gives the opportunity to support the technological development of the sector. In fact, in the near future vehicles will be connected, shared and electric, as for the previsions of main world player in the automotive and ICT sectors.

TRT’s paper define the current and future scenarios pointing out the impacts and the benefits that mobility could bring in urban areas.

“From City to Cyclelogistics, innovative proposals and sustainable solutions for cities” (“Dalla City alla Cyclelogistics, Proposte innovative e soluzioni sostenibili per le città”) is a paper realized by TRT for “Cyclelogistics Ahead” project, co-financed by EU Intelligent Energy Europe program.

This paper starts with some general aspects related to urban logistics trend and it describes cyclelogistics solutions, a phenomenon that is widespreadly developing in Italy too. This shift can lead to a shared and sustainable urban logistics.

The framework that emerged in the years of activation of the project made it possible to map Cyclelogistics in Italy which assumes the characteristics of a consolidated reality.

Moreover, the most easily implementable effective measures can become a specific strategy, for public administration, that lead to a really sustainable future for our cities.
