🌍 The Rise of E-Mobility in Europe 🌍 The E-mobility market in Europe is transforming urban transportation with a surge in electric vehicles, scooters, and bikes. Governments are heavily investing in infrastructure, making the switch more accessible. This shift is driven by advances in battery technology for PEVs, growing consumer demand, and a collective push towards reducing carbon emissions. As E-mobility continues to gain momentum, it’s not only fostering innovation and economic growth but also paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future of transportation. Excited to see where this journey takes us! 🚗⚡🛴 #EMobility #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #Innovation #Europe #GreenTransport #FutureOfMobility #TechTrends
Two months after the historic European Declaration on Cycling was signed in Brussels, industry leaders have gathered at Micromobility Europe in Amsterdam to discuss what’s next for e-bike regulations. The European Declaration on Cycling is one of the most ambitious EU-level policy initiatives on cycling to date, setting out 36 commitments to recognise cycling as a strategic priority across the EU. “This document states that cycling should be prioritised in urban mobility. This doesn’t mean putting on a level playing field with other modes of transport, but prioritised,” President of the European Cyclists’ Federation Henk Swarttouw told the panel. “That is a very very important message.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/erB3Xq8E

Our Walking and Cycling Index 2023 launches today 🎉📢 It's the biggest ever survey of walking, wheeling and cycling across the UK and Ireland. But how can this help? 🤔 The #WalkingCyclingIndex supports leaders of cities and towns to understand and improve walking, wheeling and cycling. Each urban area reports on the progress made towards making walking, wheeling and cycling more attractive, everyday ways to travel. 💡 The high-quality evidence can help bring our neighbourhoods back to life and ensure walking and cycling are attractive and accessible for everyone. 🙌 #ActiveTravel #Walking #Wheeling #Cycling #SustainableTransport To find out more about the study in your city or region, click below and download the report 👇 https://lnkd.in/gGDgcncd

Head of Innovation hub West @ EIT Urban Mobility. We engage, bring urban mobility professionals together, who create livable cities.
Interesting start of the text: “Before the 1990s, in the communist era, the bicycle was the favored means of transport in Tirana due to a ban on car ownership. A recent increase in car usage has created a unique challenge to redevelop cycling as a viable alternative”. Illustrating the devastating power of the car system. Reading this article I learned that the countermeasures are simple and cheap: - citizens reclaiming their streets - implement cycling schools - education, protecting people from industrial marketing mechanisms But the key element is activism: unfortunately people need to keep fighting this dominant idea that cars are the solution. Cars are great in an balanced modality mix: less - or no ownership and shared. The Fietsersbond is already opposing the dominance of carcentric policies for more than 50 years. Starting in the ‘70s. Not only for one city, but a whole nation. Dutch Cycling Embassy, BYCS thanks for dissemination of ‘cycle activism’.
Making cycling a viable transport option takes more than just building bike lanes. We interviewed Tirana’s Bike Mayor, Iden Petraj, to find out why attitudes toward cycling can be key to building a cycling city. #DCELegacy Read interview: https://lnkd.in/etytHzbv

*** New blog post *** Go Dutch 2024 - Part 4: Intercity In which I report on a cycle between the cities of Breda and Dordrecht and how the cycling and motoring networks differ. If you get the chance, it is well worth cycling between places in the Netherlands as it gives so much insight into how the cycling and motoring networks have been separated out. https://lnkd.in/ebWqteV2

Have you read your local #WalkingCyclingIndex report? The Walking and Cycling Index is the biggest ever survey of walking, wheeling and cycling across the UK and Ireland. It looks at what people think about active travel in 23 urban areas across the UK and Ireland. Each region reports on the progress made towards making walking, wheeling and cycling more attractive, everyday ways to travel. Since our first reports in 2015, this data has informed policy decisions, justified investment and enabled cities to develop more ambitious action plans for walking, wheeling and cycling. #ActiveTravel #Walking #Wheeling #Cycling #SustainableTransport Take a look at the map below to find your region 👇 https://lnkd.in/gGDgcncd
