LEVA-EU’s Policy Director Harold Tor-Daenens took part in the 12th plenary session of the Expert Group on urban mobility (EGUM) on 25 March.

Held in the European Commission, the EGUM is a platform for dialogue and co-creation of actions to implement the 2021 EU Urban Mobility Framework.

As the official trade association representing the full Light Electric Vehicles industry, LEVA-EU takes part in EGUM as well as its sub-groups to engage with EU Member States, cities and regional officials and other stakeholders on all current issues of urban mobility and urban logistics.

Chairing the meeting are officials from the Directorate-General of Transport (DG MOVE) of the European Commission.

“It is vital that LEVA-EU engages actively in EGUM,” says Harold Tor-Daenens. “It is one of the important fora where we can put forward the perspectives of our member companies so that these are fed into future regulatory developments of the European Union.”

Issues discussed in EGUM ranges from functional urban areas (FUA) to city access for businesses. With cities and regions taking part in these discussions, LEVA-EU provides the necessary industry insights with concrete case studies from our members.

Last year, LEVA-EU’s active participation in EGUM led to a significant milestone with the official recognition of light electric mobility as a key component of sustainable urban mobility in the forum’s formal recommendations to the European Commission.
