GMV gives its take on mobility to members of the PROSPECT project

Valladolid, as a smart, sustainable and integrating city, is one of the cities chosen by the European Commission to take part in the PROSPECT project as mentor to other cities in good practices of sustainable mobility.

PROSPECT “Peer Powered Cities and Regions”, which kicked off in 2017 under the Horizon 2010 umbrella, encourages peer-to peer learning in regional and local authorities, enabling them to find out about groundbreaking systems to finance and implement their sustainable energy and climate-action plans.

On 3 and 4 October representatives from the 12 cities participating in the project met up in Valladolid to find out at first hand about the various projects being carried out in Valladolid. An action-packed program involved two days of visits and meetings looking in depth at sustainable mobility measures, including projects like REMOURBAN (REgeneration MOdel for accelerating the smart URBAN transformation).

Pablo Rivas, as technical project manager, gave a presentation on the importance of the sustainable urban transport data being gleaned from GMV’s REMOURBAN activities, where the company is leading intelligent mobility measures.

Fátima López, GMV’s head of the REMOURBAN project, then took part in a subsequent visit to Valladolid’s Integrated Transport Center (Centro Integrado de Transportes de Valladolid: CENTROLID) to show visitors several electric vehicle recharging points. They also saw some of GMV’s inhouse solutions in this project, featuring the monitoring solutions and a car-sharing app for Valladolid City Council’s fleet of electric vehicles.
