Innovative mobility solutions are to be initiated in at least 20 European cities and municipalities to address the challenges of urbanisation, climate change and digitalisation – megatrends that make rethinking mobility inevitable. The goal of the RECIPROCITY project is to make urban and rural regions well connected and multimodal (at least two transport alternatives) nodes of use for intelligent and clean mobility.

“For us as R-Tech GmbH, the project is an important milestone. For the first time, we ourselves are the initiator and coordinator. It is also important for Regensburg as a location, because we are cooperating with metropolises such as Paris, Helsinki and Istanbul in the process,” says Alexander Rupprecht, Managing Director of R-Tech GmbH.

“During the RECIPROCITY project, areas that differ in size, location, degree of urbanisation and mobility needs are equipped with tools, knowledge and contacts to accelerate the development process of innovative mobility solutions,” explains Uwe Pfeil, head of the Regensburg e-mobility cluster.

This included workshops and webinars as well as matchmaking events, new partnerships and on-site exchange through mobility missions to strengthen networking and knowledge exchange. Successful examples are then to be emulated in other partner regions in order to make innovative mobility solutions quickly and more easily accessible to a larger circle of cities and municipalities, Pfeil continued.

Official project start date was 1 February 2021
