Special tracking equipment installed in the EL-Vs will record the speed, potential delays and movements
of vehicles in the city. The data collected will be used by the project partners to generate guidelines and
business models for service providers and vehicle manufacturers. The idea is to provide the right tools to
implement safe, comfortable and simple use of these vehicles through replicable schemes and support
services for public authorities in other European cities.

Best practice 2 - 5 cities that today, in Europe, stand out for being recognised as examples of excellence in
sustainable mobility and european green Capital are:

Copenhagen - Denmark - Awarded as „Sustainable city of the future”, it is the quintessential sustainable city
in Europe. In addition to the many actions in the field of energy, water-saving and reduction of emissions
into the atmosphere, since 1995 it has implemented incentive policies for sustainable mobility. The closure
of the city centre to cars in favour of „slow” mobility, favours cycling (almost 40% of commuters go to work
by bike) and guarantees a comfortable use of the city for tourists and inhabitants, who can thus fully enjoy
its enchanting atmosphere.

Helsinki - Finland - To celebrate its 462nd birthday, the city has recently expanded its network of cycle paths.
The lanes, designed in such a way as not to interfere with pedestrian and car paths, are developed within
the city centre „Baana”, below the street level, and are connected by ramps to all strategic points of the city.
This work, conceived with a view to safety for cyclists and pedestrians, has also made it possible to carry out
numerous environmental requalification and restoration works with the creation of green spaces equipped
for a wide variety of sports.
