Mobility
The mobility industry is a strategic sector for the European economy; and one that can significantly contribute to delivering a greener future for our society. Reducing the environmental impacts of mobility without curbing the free movement of citizens or goods is one of Europe’s key challenges. In parallel, digitalisation permeates the entire economy, opening up opportunities and challenges, in particular for the transport sector.
CERRE research critically looks at the regulatory framework to support a decarbonised and dependable mobility for all. We analyse strategies to achieve greater modal shift through market-based incentives and technological advances. We look at how we can best make use of new digital technologies to improve Europe’s transport systems.
