This Meeting with Energy Efficiency will also be a space to raise awareness and debate emerging practices in the public transport sector, promoting its decarbonation through electrification, while boosting the competitiveness, evolution and attractiveness of this sector.
 
The ninth edition of this event features three panels. The first two are dedicated to the dissemination of emerging technologies and good practices that have been implemented at national and European level, including a debate on "EMOBICITY - Increase of energy efficiency by Electric MOBIlity in the CITY." This European project intends to develop and optimise mechanisms for the application of European and regional funds towards the promotion of electric mobility.
 
The third panel is an approach to the Azorean reality in terms of sustainable urban mobility, highlighting the advantages for public passenger transport companies and municipalities in adopting electric mobility, with positive economic, social and environmental effects for the entire archipelago.
