Reggio Emilia

Description:

The Reggio Emilia pilot will provide, within smartCEM, the possibility to evaluate the potential of transportation provided to Municipality employees by means of a fleet of electric vehicles. The measures of limitation of the traffic adopted by the Reggio Emilia Council in recent years stated that in the Environmental "ZTL" (Limited Traffic Zone), vehicles are not allowed unless they meet specific criteria. In particular FEVs have no restriction whatsoever in entering the "ZTL", thus representing an optimal choice for the municipality employees’ needs in performing their daily activities. These services are especially important in the more protected areas of the city, for example the historic city centre or highly pedestrianized zones.

The Reggio Emilia pilot within the smartCEM will provide the opportunity to evaluate the potential of light electric vehicles' integration in an administration car-sharing fleet. SmartCEM services and functionalities about Navigation, Efficient Driving style and Vehicle Sharing will be evaluated. The Reggio Emilia pilot will focus on electric cars integrated in the Municipality EV services and their eventual improvement. In Reggio Emilia, the municipality EV service counts about 30 vehicles - 10 of which will be used in the pilot - and about 30 users.
