SOLUTIONSplus Course 5 - Zero-Emission Urban Freight

This fifth course of the SOLUTIONSplus Global Learning Programme on electric mobility aims to delve into the intricate relationship between e-mobility and the ongoing efforts to decarbonise our transportation systems, specifically focusing on the transportation of goods.

Throughout the course, we will provide an overview of the challenges associated with urban freight, honing in on last-mile logistics. This includes an exploration of current trends, challenges, influencing factors, and strategies for decarbonising freight operations in cities and urban environments. Additionally, the course will equip participants with knowledge about exemplary practices and real-world examples from SOLUTIONS+ cities and beyond.

The course is primarily tailored for city and regional authorities, but it offers valuable insights for any stakeholder engaged in electric mobility. It will be accessible to the public, extending beyond project demonstration cities and partners. A key emphasis will be on providing guidance to cities and regions in developing countries that are in the initial stages of implementing sustainable urban freight solutions.

The kick-off webinar will provide key information and guidance about this e-course and the learning programme and the SOLUTIONSplus project.

The SOLUTIONSplus partners have been working with experts from POLIS, ALICE, ICLEI, Zaragoza Logistics Centre (ZLC), ULLC, EMT Madrid, and Wuppertal institute, to develop this new e-course.

The e-course will last from 16th of May until 30th June 2024.

SOLUTIONSplus Course 3 – Mobility as a Service and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)

The third e-course of the SOLUTIONSplus global learning programme on electric mobility aims to explore the relationship between e-mobility in the current pursuit to decarbonise our transport systems and establish a link with the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) solutions and shared mobility or Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). The course is designed for city and regional authorities but can provide a solid knowledge base for any stakeholder involved or interested in e-mobility, ITS and MaaS. The kick-off webinar will provide key information and guidance about this e-course and the learning programme and the SOLUTIONSplus project.

The SOLUTIONSplus partners have been working with experts from the MaaS Alliance, ERTICO, HITRANS, Transport for West Midlands, POLIS, City Able, PluService SRL, UITP, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Finland, MobilityData and SWARCO, to develop this new e-course.

The e-course will last from 17th of January until 24th February 2023.

Solutionsplus Course 4: electrification of paratransit services

In many cities of the South, paratransit services represent an important share of the transport offer, if not the only one (especially in secondary cities and small cities). Despite the obvious benefits (provision of transport services at no cost for local authorities) current paratransit systems entail negative social and environmental effects such as low-quality of service, pollution, and GHG emissions. More and more actions and reforms aim to reform the sector by introducing new technologies and business modules. However, before introducing such reforms, it is first critical to consider context-based aspects such as the culture, the financial resources and limitations, and the complex set of stakeholders and power dynamics at the local level.

The fourth e-course of the SOLUTIONSplus global in electric mobility offers a comprehensive overview of these different topics, with the ambition to sensitize decision-makers, practitioners, experts, donor agencies, operators, and all types of stakeholders to the perspectives offered by the electrification of paratransit services as a lever to modernize and improve the sector while considering the specific characteristics of the paratransit industry in this process.

Here are some of the main questions raised within the e-course:

What are the main elements to consider when introducing electric vehicles in the paratransit sector?
How can e-mobility be used to enhance the integration of paratransit services in the urban mobility system?
How to raise awareness and sensitize decision-makers, paratransit operators, and stakeholders regarding the challenges and technicalities of e-mobility?
