Event Presentation

The event, titled “Zero-Emission Regional Public Transport: Infrastructure and Fleets Planning and Implementation”, will be a moment of exchange and in-depth discussion on how public authorities can lead the decarbonisation of regional public transport through the planning and deployment of zero-emission fleets (electric and hydrogen-powered) and the necessary charging and refueling infrastructure.

Starting from the case study of South Tyrol and its Strategic Plan for Sustainable Mobility, the event will showcase examples of integrated planning, stakeholder coordination, and governance tools supporting the transition.
It will also provide an opportunity to discuss policy instruments, public procurement strategies, and collaborative models that can be replicated in other European regions, in line with the climate goals set out in the South Tyrol Climate Plan 2040.

The meeting will include presentation and discussion sessions, with the possibility for participating public bodies to apply to develop their own replication plan inspired by the LIFEalps model. A study tour will also be organized to visit hydrogen production plants, refueling stations, and electric charging hubs.
