Emission-free city requires innovative solutions
Car journeys in the city for passenger transport and freight transport are a major source of CO2 emissions. How do we achieve a low-carbon mobility system in our city? TNO supports municipalities in taking decisions on emission-free zones and planning charging infrastructure.
Challenges of zero-emission cities
What does this mean for the design of the city? The intention is often there, but the practice in which zero-emission vehicles determine the streetscape still seems far away. Grid congestion, charging problems, accessibility issues around zero-emission zones. And then the consequences for vulnerable residents who depend on the car but cannot afford an e-car.
Many parties, such as transporters, municipalities and electricity companies are looking for solutions in which cities and regions remain accessible, but also become cleaner.
Why TNO?
- TNO supports municipalities in taking decisions about zero-emission zones and planning charging infrastructure.
- TNO also works together with logistics partners and providers of innovative solutions. In this way, we ensure liveable cities where clean air, zero-emission mobility and economic activities go hand in hand.
