On top of this, its urban area is one of Europe’s largest, with over four million people. It also has exceptionally high car ownership, 51 for every 100 inhabitants, and air pollution.To significantly reduce congestion and emissions, a comprehensive policy was needed that would not only offer attractive sustainable transport options but also promote new behaviour patterns.

E-charging points: in the city 10 new e-cars recharging stations are under construction with 60 e-charge points (20 fast).
E-cars: 2 e-vehicles are available for condominium car-sharing and dedicated recharging points.
E-bikes: 150 new e-bikes with child seats have been inserted, with 7 new bike-sharing stations financed by the project and further 7 financed by City of Milan.
E-logistics: are available 11 e-vehicles (2 cargo bikes) with related recharge points for goods delivery in the area.
