European Union

The implementation of the EU’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy will happen mostly at the level of Member States where many procurement opportunities and pilot projects will occur. The Member States also participate in the various working groups that coordinate on supporting regulations and funding for innovations within the smart mobility ecosystem. As each Member State takes over the rotating presidency of the European Council, such state will in its turn will highlighting or emphasize a different aspect of the strategy. For example, Portugal holds the current presidency of the Council of the European Union and will launch the European Year of Rail in Lisbon in March 2021 to further debate measures enabling both rail infrastructure and rolling stock to contribute to decarbonization, intermodal modernization and the safety of transport. Together with the European Commission, Portugal will also host the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Days 2021 in Lisbon in June, focusing on sustainable and smart transport with high-speed connectivity.
