        Access to reserved traffic lanes for EVs

        In Sevilla traffic lanes reserved for busses and taxis can be used only by BEV's drivers. This does not apply to hybrid vehicles.

         

        In Madrid, given the new regulations on sustainable mobility, the High-occupancy vehicle traffic lane located on the A-6 and connecting Madrid with the northwestern area of the region can now be used by a series of audiences. Its use is reserved for motorcycles, cars, mixed vehicles and buses. Cars with more than one occupant on board and independently of the type of tag, motorcycles, buses can circulate on the High-occupancy vehicle lane. Cars…

        …through tax incentives or on mobility and the environment. The origin of this rating lay in the National Air Quality Plan, 2013-2016 (Plan Aire) in which it is stated that both particles and nitrogen dioxide mostly originate from wheeled traffic as the main source of emissions in large cities, and it proposes a categorisation of vehicles based on the levels of pollution they emit. The classification of vehicles is consigned in the national registry of vehicles of the Directorate-General of Traffic (DGT), which may be accessed in real time by organisms that are competent in matters of mobility…

        My Agenda 21: The Energy-Saving Booklet (Information to Drivers)

        In 1997, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety published a brochure entitled "My Agenda 21: The Energy-Saving Booklet as your contribution to climate protection", which incorporated a chapter on mobility. The aim of the chapter was to make drivers more aware of fuel-saving driving habits, to encourage them to use public transport and, in general, to foster greater environmental awareness on the part of automobile users. The Climate Protection Programme subsequently launched broadly structured information campaigns on good driving habits, with the participation of the automotive industry and the associations from the automotive…

        Regional Measures for Energy Efficiency: Lombardia

        Lombardys regional law on the prevention and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions establishes an overall framework of action to reduce GHG emissions, including energy efficiency measures. Major provisions of the law include: For transport, measures that manage and restrict urban mobility and the use of heavily polluting vehicles For buildings, the law prohibits the use of fuel in heating systems. It also implements minimum energy performance requirements for new buildings for heating and electrical systems, and also to implement the building Energy Certification Scheme in a regional context. The regional law was amended in 2007 and 2008 to include…

        Car Sharing

        The government created incentives to encourage the sharing of private means of transport among several users, co-ordinated by local mobility managers for the creation of car crews. First tested in the northern Italian cities of Turin and Venice, the programme provides energy efficient cars to drivers at subsidised rates as a way to reduce the rate of car ownership and the use of high polluting vehicles. Ministry officials estimate that 100,000 motorists could take part in the new schemes by 2005, reducing CO2 emissions by 20,000 tonnes and the number of cars on Italys roads by 50…

        This policy provides for local entities (provinces and municipalities) to set up a voluntary agreement with the Flemish Government to help establish environmental policies and measures. These policies and measures can relate to matters such as waste, water, mobility, noise and energy. In this agreement, local entities commit themselves to promoting energy efficiency, buying renewable energy etc. in return for financial support from the Flemish Government for projects at provincial or municipal level.These projects might include low energy public buildings, renewable energy (PV), heat pumps and micro-CHP. For energy efficient buildings up to 50% of the additional costs…

        Quebec Transportation Electrification Action Plan 2015-2020

        In 2015 Government of Quebec adopted Transportation Electrification Action Plan 2015-2020 period. The goal of the policy is to bring Quebec to a position of a leader on electric-powered means of transportation and a forerunner in the domain of sustainable mobility. The purpose is to develop the industry associated with this economic sector and to create an environment conducive to the transition from gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles towards electric vehicles.
        Some of the key objectives of the Action Plan are (by 2020):

        Reach 100 000 plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles registered in Québec.
        Reduce the annual GHG…
