extension and possible “cross border collaboration”

• Experimental (PH)EV projects (proeftuinen)

• Robust monitoring and assessment

• Need for more guidance in public transport bus tendering

Collaboration on international level

• Eurocities, Polis and Clinton Climate Initiative

• Practical EU projects & proposals with frontrunner cities in close cooperation with the "market”

cooperation with the "market”• Share knowledge & experiences • Special attention for EU wide, robust and equal data monitoring

• Installed in EU observatory, very valuable for “smart grid” research

• Need for international standards
