The Global Project focuses on the Adriatic region, expanding into Cohesion countries such as Croatia, Slovakia and Slovenia. The Action part of a Global Project, aiming to ensure for the region an integrated network of multimodal mobility services supported by a readily available choice of clean fuels, to allow integrated urban, regional and intercity travels.
The overall objective of the Action is to provide multiple solutions for clean transport based on alternative fuels for multiple use cases, providing a range of transport services that work together in shaping a sustainable transport paradigm shift.
The Action will electrify urban and regional bus routes with 12 e-bus acquisition and charging infrastructure deployment, launch Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) e-vehicle fleets (920) with supporting infrastructure and IT platform, deploy publicly accessible electric and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) recharging networks for a variety of urban and corridor travel needs with 16 CNG stations, 24 Ultra Chargers, 349 AC chargers, 5 charging hubs and 6 e-bus charging stations, for a total of roughly 1,000 supply points.
