1. EMOBILITY WORKS Integration of e-mobility in European municipalities and businesses
IEE/13/706/S
March 2014 – August 2016

2. Project Outline Duration: March 2014 – August 2016
Funding: Co-funded by IEE
Consortium: 12 partners from 9 countries

3. Participating countries & municipalities

4. Participating countries & municipalities
Countries: FI, EE, ES, DE, AT, EL, IT, RO
Municipalities:
Chosen by project partners in participating countries
Most of them were chosen during the proposal phase (early establishment of committment of the locally involved people)
Very different starting situations:
Some already have e-vehicles (e.g. Schladming in Austria)
Others have never dealt with this issue before (e.g. most Greek municipalities).
For some municipalities the project is complementary to other activities, such as SUMP or SEAP development

5. Main objectives
Increase in e-mobility in 27 municipalities and in more than 100 businesses across Europe
E-mobility action plan for each participating municipality
Electricity from renewable energy sources
Increased knowledge / awareness regarding e-mobility in municipalities, businesses and among the general public

7. Why e-mobility? EMOBILITY WORKS!
Almost 100 % of road transportation is based on fossil fuels.

The average daily route is about 28 km

13. E-mobility action plans
Aspects to be considered:
Local action team: Choose carefully, which stakeholders to integrate (facility managers, tourism, etc.)
Development of a clear vision and goals
Precise planning of responsibilities to ensure implementation of measures
Cooperation with important economic sectors (e.g. tourism, trading, etc.) – integration into local measures
Provide arguments for e-mobility beyond finances (image, fore-runner, local air quality, etc.)
Never underestimate local politics, e.g. structural reform of municipalities in Austria or local elections in Slovenia  can lead to delay of project activities
