Industry 2015: Industrial Innovation and Sustainable Mobility Projects
…mechanisms and a call for projects to promote innovation in Italian industry. Selected projects, involving a variety of private sector enterprises of various sizes as well as research institutions, would receive co-financing from the government.Two of the project streams target sustainable mobility and industrial energy efficiency and use of renewable energy, and were launched in 2008. In December 2008, 26 selected Sustainable Mobility projects received a total of EUR 180 million, generating a total investment of EUR 450 million. Nearly a third involved the development of ecological, efficient and economic road vehicles or production processes.In January 2009…

Ten milestones in 2021 - Electric mobility
During the presentation of the ten milestones of the mining-energy sector in 2021, the Minister of Mines and Energy assured that 2021 will be the year to encourage the sustainable reactivation of Colombia, which will promote equity, development and new opportunities for the country and its regions, in three strategic axes: 1) Energy Transition, 2) Energy security and 3) Mining diversification and formalization.
One of the objective is to promote electric and sustainable mobility through:
- Incentives for each municipality to have public charging electric stations;
- The standardization and firm market conditions for electric chargers.

…Climate transition, and Digital transition).
The dimension of climate transition includes 4 components that can be considered as directly relevant for the energy sector. This initiative is part of the component "sustainable mobility" (Component 15).
To support sustainable mobility and the improvement of public infrastructure, investments will be allocated to network expansion projects:
1) Expansion of the metro network of Lisbon (EUR 304 million)
2) Expansion of the metro network of Porto (EUR 299 million)
3) New light rail transit (LRT) line in the northeast of Lisbon (EUR 250 million)
4) New bus rapid transit (BRT) line in Porto, with… -

The Value of Demand Flexibility
Benefits beyond balancing This policy brief, developed under the International Energy Agency’s Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative, examines the value of demand flexibility as a core component of modern electricity systems, with a strong emphasis on its role in improving energy efficiency. As electricity demand grows and power systems become more electrified, decentralised and renewable-rich, managing when and how electricity is used is increasingly as important as expanding supply.The brief sets out a clear framework for understanding demand flexibility and highlights its contribution to an efficiency-first approach to power system planning and operation. By…

Vehicle software and software-defined vehicles
GEVO 2026 - Chapter 8 The transition from mechanical to software-based vehicle control has been underway for decades and has accelerated dramatically with the rise of EVs. Pure-play EV makers have pioneered the shift towards high-level, continuously updateable software-based vehicle control, speeding up the development and rollout of new features. Vehicles are evolving into software platforms for which users can access subscription‑based premium features, in the same way as for smartphones. A new design paradigm is emerging, with EVs at the forefront The digital transformation of the car industry is most evident in the emergence of software…
