The ERCI Green & Sustainable Mobility survey is gathering insight from companies across Europe to better understand how the rail and wider mobility sectors are responding to decarbonisation, sustainability and environmental challenges. The survey focuses on practical actions, technologies and approaches being adopted by industry, helping to build an evidence base that will inform future collaboration, policy discussion and innovation activity across the European Rail Clusters Initiative network. All responses are aggregated, and participation supports greater visibility of industry capability and progress in green and sustainable mobility. Respond here.
