The European Union has one of the densest transport networks on the planet. Transport generates significant consumption of resources (fossil carbon, materials, etc.). They are also the source of air, water and soil pollution. All that has an effect on ecosystems and therefore biodiversity. Indeed, transport emits greenhouse gases and affect the ozone layer and disrupt biodiversity (noise and light pollution and fragmentation of ecosystems). It also causes a marked change in landscapes, becaming a real problem for our planet.
The European Union has to make a change in its management of transport. The "Transport 2050 towards a single European transport space" program was then created in 2011. It promises, among other things, to reduce the Union's carbon emissions linked to transport by 60% by 2050. Changes must be carried out in order to limit pollution linked to transport, like the examples below :
In the city:
-
Encourage the use of bike or other light electric vehicles
-
Maximize the uses of cars: eco-sharing, rental, carpooling, eco-driving
-
Facilitate the use of public transport
-
Improve electric vehicles: infrastructure, production, services
Long distance journeys:
-
Develop the rail network
-
Develop bus travel in European territories
Sea transport:
-
Decarbonize current means of transport, optimize logistics to limit sector emission
Finally, it is also essential to support R&D for energy optimization and the decarbonisation of mobility: infrastructure, means of transport, new technologies (battery, hydrogen, etc.).

Rentik
Rentik was one of the six projects selected to participate in the 2014 edition (the first) of the CEIN “Entrepreneurial Drive” program, which was sponsored by Correos. Rentik helps companies with great mobility needs in urban and regional surroundings to reduce their expenses through an electric motorcycle rental service. The vehicles have removable batteries and Rentik ensures that the customer has available energy, without waiting times and without the need to go to recharging points. The business model that supported the paper became a business reality thanks to the promoters' ability to detect and solve customer needs and the support of the companies and entities that have opted for it.
