1. Arnoldas Milukas Head of Unit H.1 Transport Directorate DG Research European Initiatives for a more sustainable urban transport EUROPEAN COMMISSION “MOVE TOGETHER DAY” - Moving together towards a new culture for urban mobility, Brussels, 7 December 2009

2. Structure/Key Points - Challenges regarding urban mobility - EU Initiatives - Research Activities - How to meet the challenges - Communication of research

3. The Challenges Less Time Less freedom to choose Less SpaceLess Health

4. Objective: Sustainable transport SOCIETY (employment, safety, health) ENVIRONMENT (climate change, air quality/noise, energy efficiency) ECONOMY (congestion reduction, competitiveness, growth)

5. Achieving the objective Research on green technologies Initiatives at European level Regulatory framework

6. Green Paper on Urban Mobility Five challenges to be met: - Free-flowing & greener towns and cities - Smarter, accessible, safe & secure urban transport

7. Action Plan on Urban Mobility Twenty actions addressing: - Improved information, passenger rights, better planning, greener transport, sharing experiences, funding

8. Demand side measures & public procurement EIB loans in support of industrial innovation Research activities European Green Cars Initiative: the content

9. Green Cars Initiative: R&D on more than cars Heavy duty vehicles (Internal combustion engines, technologies for energy optimisation) Road and urban transport electrification Logistics, co-modality and Intelligent Transport Systems

10. The Framework Programme Fuel efficiency: strong focus in recent research Framework Programmes (FP) A large part of FP6 dedicated to emission reductions Reinforcement in FP7, particularly in the Work Programmes on Transport

11. The CITYMOBIL Project CITYMOBIL = Towards Advanced Road Transport for the Urban Environment Objective: to achieve a more effective organisation of urban transport Set-up of three large scale demonstrators at three test sites (Heathrow, Castellon, Rome) to proof the concept of innovative automated urban transport systems

12. Dissemination of research results Dissemination activities: mandatory in each project funded under FP7 Appropriateness of dissemination measures: assessed during proposals evaluation Dissemination instruments: websites, leaflets, brochures, events
