E-MOB events went on

Encouraged by the success of previous e-mobility events some of the Partners decided to organize further events in this year. On the 22nd of September Romanian partner ROSENC (Romanian Sustainable Energy Cluster) with the support of Timisoara Municipality and with the participation of 7 Partners hold the 2nd Electro-Tura event within European Mobility Week. Around 500 visitors could try the promoted electric vehicles for free. Municipality of Ulcinj (Montenegro) organized an entourage of electric vehicles through the City center, while in Zadar more than 500 participants were cycling together to promote a healthy lifestyle and to support European Mobility Week.

The University of Maribor also held an awareness-raising event for high-school students, where members of the young generation also had the chance to try light electric vehicles and learn more about e-mobility. The Faculty of Energy Technology also organized a summer school this August. Involved students created a robotic e-car consisting of electronic circuits and 3D printed parts, and tested a real electric car too. The University found it important to increase young people's knowledge of e-mobility, which can help to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and above all the fight against climate change.
