Delighted to have moderated a panel session on "Promoting Electric Mobility in the MENA Region" at the Middle East Rail & Mobility Live 2024 event in Abu Dhabi. Our panelists discussed key EV market trends in the region, challenges hindering widespread adoption, and the crucial role of policy and regulation. A highlight was Peec Mobility, a UAE-based start up and a UICCA partner, showcasing their innovative approach to repurposing vehicles from petrol to electric, offering significant environmental and economic benefits. Key insights from the discussion include: - Putting a robust and enduring mandate in place to encourage investment and innovation in the sustainable transport sector - Expanding EV availability to meet different consumer preferences and needs - Crafting and timely implementing strategic incentives for manufacturers, innovators, and users - Conducting a comprehensive feasibility and consumer behavior study for different EV infrastructure options (types, locations) by engaging multi stakeholders including governments, real estate developers, operators, and academia - Incorporating a streamlined regulatory process for new technologies to efficiently integrate innovative solutions into the market Grateful to Heiko Seitz and Zach Faizal for their invaluable contributions. In alignment with our commitment to green mobility, UICCA released a report on “Green Mobility in the UAE”, outlining bottlenecks across the entire value chain, international and national case studies, and policy considerations.

Who is taking the lead in CCS development in the Nordics—Sweden, Denmark, or Norway? The answer is; we all are! This week, I had the pleasure of joining an inspiring #CCS debate, masterfully moderated by Camilla Brox. Representing Team Sweden, I teamed up with my incredible colleague Karolina Unger from KLIMPO. From Team Denmark, we heard from the sharp minds of Lars Bruun Sørensen, Ørsted and Mikkel Krogsgaard Niss, CCS Zealand. Team Norway brought powerful insights from Alexander Engh, Norwegian Ministry of Energy and Markus Sebastian Hole, Hafslund Oslo Celsio. The key takeaway? Collaboration across Nordic borders is not just beneficial—it’s essential to accelerate the CCS journey. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for a thriving climate industry. Our shared ambition? That 2025 becomes the breakthrough year for the #CCS industry. A year when projects in all Nordic countries take decisive steps forward—investment decisions made, shovels in the ground, and real progress underway. The Nordics have the expertise, the drive, and the shared commitment to make this happen. Are we ready to lead the way? I believe we are! 💚 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇳🇴 💚 Öresundskraft Helsingborgs stad #tillsammansfor17

🌱💡Learn how the Interreg Europe funded FASTER Project is driving a greener future in Northern Ireland, the border counties of the Republic of Ireland, and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. 💡🌱 🚗⚡ Cenex's collaboration with Plug Life Consulting Ltd and South West College has led to the development of engaging webinars and informative in-person events aimed at demystifying Electric Vehicles (EVs) and expanding their appeal to new buyers. With lively panel discussions covering a range of EV-related topics, these events have been instrumental in raising awareness and fostering strategic partnerships across Ireland. Additionally, Cenex's proprietary National EV Insights and Support platform (NEVIS) has been rolled out to 20 additional FASTER councils, providing invaluable assistance in developing fleet electrification strategies. The FASTER Project's innovative approach has earned recognition, being shortlisted for the prestigious 'Best Emobility Project' prize at the Irish Electric Vehicle Awards 2024. This initiative marks a significant milestone in improving public charging infrastructure and accelerating the adoption of EVs in key regions.

📢 Exciting news for cities and mobility innovators! The FAME Policy Brief highlights how Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (#CCAM) can support Europe’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050. Funded through #HorizonEurope, the FAME project shares key insights on testing and deploying automated logistics and public transport solutions to reduce emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and promote #sustainableurbanmobility.   CCAM solutions, like improved automated on-demand shuttles and automated urban delivery technologies, can significantly cut down urban congestion and environmental impact. Yet, regulatory frameworks must evolve to support broader deployment and testing across Europe.   🌍 If your city is interested in exploring CCAM for sustainable urban #mobility, Eurocities will be representing FAME during the CIVITAS Initiative Forum in Parma.

🎥 Day 1 at the Leaders' Summit in Karlsruhe: Driving Sustainable Public Transport! 🚊🌍 The CEMR Leaders' Summit is bringing together more than 150 international leaders from 40 countries to address Europe’s most pressing challenges. This morning before the Summit, they visited the unique public transportation system of Karlsruhe—an innovative integration of tram and bus networks, known as the Karlsruhe Model.   As cities and regions across Europe electrify public transport in line with the European Green Deal and the EU Sustainable Mobility Strategy, infrastructure challenges grow. Ensuring mobility services are accessible to all citizens—whether in cities, peripheral areas, or rural communities—requires modern rail networks, robust charging systems, and energy resilience. At the Summit: 🌟 Keynote: How can the private sector contribute? Steffen Ringwald (Netze BW GmbH, EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG) shares innovative solutions for energy infrastructure expansion. 💡 Insights: Andreas Mörder (INIT Group) and Peter Möhl (PTV Group - Part of Umovity) present cutting-edge digital solutions. 🤝 Local Action: CEMR leaders President Gunn Marit Helgesen (KS Kommunesektorens organisasjon), Dr. Christoph Schnaudigel (Karlsruhe), Philippe LAURENT (Sceaux), and Wobine Buijs-Glaudemans (Oss) share local expertise, moderated by Meritxell Parramon Vilà (CEMR). 📸 Check all the photos of the day: https://lnkd.in/dTChNCxK   #CEMRLeadersSummit #SustainableMobility #EuropeanGreenDeal #PublicTransport
