REDU-CE-D
The REDU-CE-D project, short for „customized Environmental Management System (EMS) to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption of different transport modes in Central Europe,“ aims to enhance energy efficiency across various transportation sectors in Central Europe. This project addresses the requirements of the EU’s Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), which mandates member states to achieve specific energy efficiency targets.
The primary goal of REDU-CE-D is to transpose the EED into air transport, urban transport, waterway transport, and rail transport sectors by developing and implementing customized EMS packages. These systems will be tailored to meet EU requirements and will be tested, developed, and disseminated through a collaborative, transnational approach.
The project adopts a cooperative strategy, involving assessment, mapping, and evaluation of best practices in monitoring energy consumption within the transport sector at the Central European level. A Transnational Working Group will assess the adaptability of selected practices and provide strategic inputs for their implementation. The findings will be showcased at the REDU-CE-D Conference.
Four pilot actions will be conducted in Croatia (air transport), Poland (urban transport), Hungary (waterway transport), and Italy (rail transport), involving two partners per sector. These pilots will test the EMS packages‘ effectiveness and involve key stakeholders from the respective sectors. The results will inform the further validation and finalization of EMS packages at the Transnational Advisory Forum.
To ensure widespread adoption, the project includes training activities, awareness campaigns, lobbying efforts, and dedicated roundtables with transportation authorities. The ultimate aim is to integrate EMS packages into regional and national legislation, promoting energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption across Central Europe.
