Subject: The number of self-service bicycle offerings has increased since 2005. While their global annual cost represents €100m (£85m), there are many advantages to these self-service bicycle systems: benefits for the user, public transport decongestion and environmental advantages. This solution is increasingly used and has allowed the bicycle to be promoted, on a permanent basis, as a favoured means of transport among the French population.

Subject: This study from the Institut CEPOP (a French polling organisation) looks at how the French people feel about electric and sustainable mobility. The results are promising, with 20% of respondents saying they’d be prepared to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle costing between 10% to 20% more than a petrol vehicle. They also reveal that French motorists are impatient with regard to entering the practical phase, in particular for the number of electric charging terminals available.
