Dresden Leads Europe's Transition to Climate-Neutral Traffic

Dresden is leading the way in Europe's transition to climate-neutral traffic. As part of the MOBILITIES for EU project, the city is testing 27 innovative mobility solutions in eleven pilot actions. These include autonomous electric buses and a decentralized data ecosystem for automated driving. The project aims to accelerate Europe's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050, with cities like Dresden striving to achieve this as early as 2030.

Transport accounts for over 30% of Europe's total energy consumption and is the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The MOBILITIES for EU project, running for five years and involving 28 institutions, seeks to tackle this issue. Dresden, one of two pilot cities, will demonstrate the effectiveness of these solutions. The project focuses on electrification, automation, and connectivity in urban mobility. It aims to develop new business fields for involved actors and adapt processes for other cities. The pilot measures and results will contribute to creating a 'Climate-City-Contract' for Dresden within the EU mission '100 climate-neutral and intelligent cities by 2030'.

The MOBILITIES for EU project, led by Madrid with partners from nine countries, is a significant step towards climate-neutral traffic. Dresden's role as a pilot city showcases these innovative solutions, with the potential to transform urban mobility and reduce Europe's carbon footprint.
