CIMNE’s Innovation Unit in Transport, CENIT has released the Issue 3 of its magazine, Innovation in Transport Review.
In this issue, experts from the group present insights and findings from some of their recent research, focusing on topics such as advanced transport simulation models for sustainable urban mobility, the potential for electrification in public transport systems, and innovative solutions to help European ports achieve climate neutrality.
CENIT’s projects aim to tackle one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century: delivering efficient, sustainable transportation to communities and equipping policymakers with research-driven knowledge.
