Vision

The transport sector represents 23% of global CO₂ emissions, while road transport is responsible for around 75% of transport sector emissions and freight accounts for up to 30% to 40% of road sector emissions. This has grown by 45% between 1990 and 2007 and is expecting to keep on rising, despite cleaner engines. *

Information and communication technologies (ICT), such as the applications developed in eCoMove, specifically configured to target avoidable fuel consumption have the potential to achieve a cleaner and more energy-efficient mobility of goods and people.

By applying the latest vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies, the project will create an integrated solution comprising eco-driving support and eco-traffic management to tackle the main sources of energy waste by passenger and goods vehicles.
