Laia Bonet, First Deputy Mayor for Urban Planning, Ecological Transition, Urban Services, and Housing, along with André Sobczak, Secretary-General of Eurocities, will present the "European Declaration for Sustainable and Attractive Public Transport in Cities." They’ll be accompanied by the Deputy Mayors for mobility of the cities of Dublin and Milano, a representative of the European Institutions and the Spokesperson of the European Union Committee of the UITP. Co-signed by representatives from major European cities and public transport organizations, the declaration reaffirms a strong commitment to advancing sustainable, inclusive, and resilient public transport systems across Europe, addressing challenges such as climate change, social cohesion, and affordability, while urging policymakers to support the sector's transition to zero-emission mobility.

The successful deployment of zero-emission technologies, both at vehicle and infrastructure level, heavily depend on their adoptions by private and public vehicle fleets. This panel will reflect on the importance of fleets to accelerate the adoption of cleaner forms of mobility and will explore the role of fleets in supporting transformational mobility innovations.

How will public and private vehicle fleets evolve in tomorrow's mobility? What role will they play in the sustainable urban mobility transition?
