TRENDSETTER setting trends for sustainable urban mobility

Objective

TRENDSETTER's objectives are to ameliorate urban air quality and noise levels, and congestion while supporting exceptional mobility and urban quality of life. It will help other cities se how they can curb unsustainable traffic growth by using advanced mobility management schemes combined with clean vehicle fleets.

TRENDSETTER aims to promote the use of public transport and other alternatives to private cars but also show new ways to improve goods logistics and efficiency. The project will increase the acceptance for bio-fuels among citizens and encourage operators, politicians and social groups to use innovative, low-noise and low emission technology by practical day-to-day operation.

TRENDSETTER will prove that cities can achieve Kyoto and EU goals, e.g. by reducing fossil C02 by 5% through a combination of measures. The results are intended as inputs to European policy making and to set trends for a sustainable transport future in Europe.
