Kick-off of Amsterdam Metropolitan Region electric project

In January 2012 the MRA-electric project has started. It focuses on stimulating the introduction of electric mobility in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region (MRA). One of the projects activities is launching a website connecting and presenting the information already available online on electric mobility. Its aim is primarily to answer FAQ´s of municipalities within the MRA and complementary to inform consumers; citizens and private parties. The data collection is currently taking place.

Furthermore the MRA-project has gathered input and informed MRA-municipalities about electric mobility activities through a networking session on the 5th June 2012. During this session Maarten Linnenkamp and Peter van Deventer presented the role of governance and opportunities for governments in the transition towards electric mobility, such as the ‘Green Deal’ that the MRA is going to close with the national government. The aim is to stimulate the purchase of EV´s and setting up charging infrastructure in municipalities within the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region.
