Increase electric powered passenger and freight transports- a regional priority in the Regional Development Plan of the Stockholm Region, RUFS 2050

In brief:• The Stockholm Region has prioritised working for increased electric powered passenger and freight transports to

fulfi l the climate goals and targets of the region (a regional priority in the regional development plan, RUFS 2050).• Three actions are identifi ed to promote EV:s and renewable fuels – to create a regional platform, to develop a

regional strategy, and to develop a regional agreement on procurement between public stakeholders.• Policy learnings and good practices from Catalonia is an inspiration and will be applied in this work, especially the

good practice of Live Platform concerning the regional platform for information on EV:s.

LearningsThe regional – and national goal – is to lower the GHG-emissions in the transport sector by 70 % to 2030 (from 2010). In order to do so there are a number of challenges that has to be faced, one of them being the transition to more clean and eff ective vehicles.

The EV Energy project has given several learnings to the Stockholm Region on how to do this: • The LIVE Platform in Barcelona, an open public-

private platform that promotes the use of EV:s in Barcelona and that fosters both innovation and business development as well as transmission to clean cars.

• PIRVEC – the strategic plan for the development of charging infrastructure for EV’s in Catalonia.

These practices has been used in developing the Action Plan for increased electric powered passenger and freight transports in the Stockholm Region.

BackgroundThe Stockholm Region has come far in lowering GHG-emissions, but the transport sector is falling behind and there is need for fast transition of this sector. The regional development plan RUFS 2050 has focus for a fossil-free transport sector that relies on three important parts:• Development of a more transport eff ective society• Promoting more eff ective and clean vehicles• Phasing out fossil fuels
