Increasing energy efficiency in the transport sector is not only based on alternative drives and fuels. It is also important to introduce innovative mobility management approaches for travelling to work and on business.They would lead to a reduction in motorised private transport and to a relocation of mobility to greener forms. Digitalisation will make an important contribution in this respect by integrating innovative information and communication technologies. For instance, the real-time information now available will provide new and improved opportunities for mobility across all available means of transport.

Information is key to the implementation of sustainable mobility approaches.

dena has purposefully initiated and supported management approaches for more sustainable mobility in its “efficient-mobile” and “municipal energy and climate protection management” projects within the transport sector. Where possible, dena aims to implement these approaches in concrete practical projects and to present the results to senior figures in companies, public administrations, science and politics. After all, intelligent mobility solutions improve health and staff motivation, as well as protect the environment. Here, the communication of prepared information and best-practice solutions will be a particularly crucial aspect. Only then is it possible to attain broad-based acceptance and understanding for the objectives of these measures. Particularly when dealing with largely unfamiliar or new technologies, these methods can help significantly to build trust and dispel any possible prejudice.
