Body Representatives’ Working Day for “Electro mobility in Eastern Attica”

On Thursday July 17th and within a very positive environment, dozens of representatives of local and national bodies accepted a cooperation invitation that was sent to them by Professor Andreas Vassilopoulos, the scientific coordinator of the European program Ele.C.Tra. in our country.
Mr. Vassilopoulos, as he declared, chose Eastern Attica in order to implement the program, because there is no municipal transportation, there are a lot of parking problems during the summer months, while this specific region can be assisted in an economical way by the tourism that is expected from the port of Rafina and the airport.

The Ele.C.Tra project offers a significant support to the local community in order it to be able to obtain electric scooters and cars, such as in many other European cities. Electro mobility is a one-way choice, since it causes no emissions or noise, and it belongs to the green transportations that are expected to be granted. At the same time, for both residents and tourists, it constitutes the cheapest way of transportation with a cost of 10 times less than that of conventional fuel.

The meeting was held at the Wine Museum, in the suburbs of Pikermi-Pallini, so that it could be approached by representatives from any Municipality in North-East Attica. At the labor table there were mayors and people from the town council, representatives from the Center for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving’s (CRES) research department, from the Hellenic Public Power Corporation (DEH) and the Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company (EYDAP), managers from Greek and foreign companies, a representative of the Athens International Airport, a representative of the port of Rafina, professors and researchers from Universities and Technical Universities, as well as journalists of newspapers and magazines.

 The participation of the Municipalities of Marathon, Spata-Artemida and Pallini in the project Ele.C.Tra. consists an element of maturity concerning the Municipalities participation in 2015 granted projects, from the Green Fund to the new National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) and the Intelligent Energy Europe project.

Mr. Vassilopoulos is determined to provide solutions to great issues that afflict the whole region, by supporting it with the European expertise, the development of new financial tools and solutions for sustainable urban development.
