How do you choose the right vehicle for a caregiver visiting an elderly person at home, or for a van delivering meals across a scattered rural territory? Green LaMiS’s Joint Sustainable Mobility Strategy and Action Plan (Deliverable D.1.2.3) answers exactly this question, translating months of joint analysis into a practical decision-making tool for local authorities and social enterprises.
The strategy classifies each home care service along two axes — the type of service delivered and the average distance travelled — and cross-references the result with real territorial constraints such as terrain, road quality, public transport coverage and charging infrastructure, to point toward the most suitable vehicle family, from e-bikes to electric vans. It also defines the role of the Mobility Manager, the person who steers vehicle choice, supplier agreements and day-to-day monitoring in each pilot city.
Grounded in this shared strategy, each pilot territory made its own concrete choices: Szombathely purchased two used electric vehicles for home visits and specialised transport; Bergamo leased two fully electric 9-seater vehicles for its social cooperatives; Klis introduced two electric city cars with dedicated charging points at municipal premises. One strategy, three different — and equally valid — paths to the same goal.
