Towards zero: Safe vehicles, safe drivers, safe roads
2018-11-26 14:00 - 18:00 | Rue Wiertz 77, 1000 Brussels.
This event, organised by our Partner ACEA, will look at the need for combining cutting-edge vehicle safety technologies with safer driver behaviour and better road infrastructure in order to move towards the vision of zero traffic fatalities in the future.
Given that the European Commission’s proposal for the revision of the General Safety Regulation is under discussion right now by the European Parliament and the European Council, this conference will be extremely timely.
‘Towards zero: Safe vehicles, safe drivers, safe roads’ acts as a follow-up to the road safety pledge that was signed by a coalition of transport stakeholders, including ACEA, earlier this year. It forms part of the auto industry’s commitment to work with all stakeholders to continue improving road safety, both today and in the future, when automation will play a stronger role.
The 26 November event will serve as a platform for discussion and expertise sharing, bringing together the key players that need to work together to deliver a fully-integrated approach to road safety for Europe.

Multimodal sustainable transport - which role for the internalisation of external costs?
2018-12-17 | Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels-Etterbeek
European Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc and the Directorate-General for Transport and Mobility (DG MOVE) are inviting transport stakeholders to discuss first insights from a study on sustainable transport infrastructure charging and the internalisation of transport externalities.
The conference will take place at the EU conference centre Albert Borschette, Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels-Etterbeek on 17 December 2018.
The event is organised as a part of the 2018 Year of Multimodality which Commissioner Bulc has called for to promote the functioning of the transport sector as a fully integrated system, making better use of existing capacities in all transport modes, and improving efficiency of the logistics chains.
During the conference key sector experts will share their views on setting the right price for transport and there will be opportunities for you to discuss and understand the external costs across transport modes; the extent to which the “user pays” and “polluter pays” are implemented in the EU for the different modes; how the ‘playing-field’ can be balanced and how to better manage the impact of externalities.

Upscaling Hydrogen Gensets in European Cities
2019-01-15 13:00 - 17:30 | Brussels, Belgium- Avenue de la Toison d’ Or 56- 60, 1060 Brussels, Brussels, Belgium
ICLEI Europe, in cooperation with the EVERYWH2ERE project, is organising a city-oriented workshop on “Upscaling Hydrogen Genets in European Cities”. The event will highlight modern Fuel Cell and Hydrogen (FCH) technologies as clean alternatives to fossil fuel generators in providing energy for construction sites, festivals and other temporary urban events.
With European cities driving the decarbonisation of transport, urban heating and cooling, industries and services forward, the workshop will focus on how FCH technologies as a 100% clean alternative to diesel-based generator equipment can support cities in reaching their climate and energy targets, reduce emissions and noise and increase air quality.
This workshop will offer:

an understanding of how hydrogen gensets can be a viable alternative to diesel generators
a platform to exchange on the necessary regulatory frameworks for deploying temporary hydrogen gensets in city areas
the opportunity to speak about and promote own innovative decarbonisation measures

The workshop will also serve as an entry point for becoming part of the EVERYWH2ERE Cities Interest Group to explore options for hosting hydrogen generator sets and to profit from tools and long-term recommendations generated throughout the project.
