During October and November, the course on sustainable mobility, focusing on the implementation of the so-called Low Emission Zone (ZBE) in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, is being given. This free training was aimed at urban mobility professionals from public administrations. It’s being held in a hybrid format, combining all the sessions given at the UPC’s facilities in Barcelona, with talks by experts broadcast live.

GMV has been taking part in the program, tackling the technological solutions for ZBE deployment. Specifically, it’s focusing on its systems based on smartphones and GNSS technology applied to the field of mobility and transportation, in which the company has more than 20 years of professional experience.

December 2023 is the date reflected in the Climate Change and Energy Transition Law (approved by the Spanish government) for Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants to design and implement their sustainable mobility plans, highlighting the regulation of low-emission zones.

Low-emission zones are a sustainable and efficient mobility solution, capable of minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and thus protecting people’s health. The objective of this course is to respond to the short and medium-term challenges in sustainable mobility management, to act in line with the climate action targets proposed in the 2030 Agenda.

This course was organized by the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and the Carnet mobility innovation center. It also has the support of the EIT (Institute of Innovation and Technology) Urban Mobility, an organization co-financed with funds from the European Union.
