Among the contributing factors, some of the most pressing include congestion, which costs the European economy €100 billion per year (1% of its GDP), air pollution, affecting people’s health, and transport emissions (those from freight count 25% of total urban transport emissions). The EU Green Deal targets to reduce emissions in cities by 55% by 2030 and be climate-neutral by 2050, cannot be met only by vehicles decarbonisation goals.
MED COLOURS is a EU Project co-funded by the Interreg Euro-MED that aims at upscaling to a new generation of urban logistics and planning enabling the transition to decarbonised and smart cities.
