WORKING GROUP LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Effective January 1, 2021, the “Local Public Transport” working group is established within the “Business Development” Table, the operation of which is defined in Art. 12 of the Statute.

• Monitor public funding for the sector, especially that of the National Strategic Plan for Sustainable Mobility (NSP-MS), which provides 3.7 billion euros over 15 years for the renewal of the bus fleet in Italy and 100 million euros for the years 2020-2021 for research, development and innovation of environmentally friendly buses and related equipment;

• Seize the funding opportunities of the NDP-MS, with particular reference to:

• • Development of new bus architectures;
  • transition to new, environmentally friendly traction systems (CNG, biomethane, electric, and eventually hydrogen);
  • Bus lightening;
  • Digitization of vehicles and their components.

• Foster the creation and development of partnerships for the production of components and the development of new technologies applied to the public transport supply chain (vehicle, equipment and services), with projections to the entire sustainable mobility system.
