Subject: This Survey conducted in 6 federal American states (California, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon and Texas) delivers the different costs associated to electrical vehicles in each state, and thus compares expenses for a "classic" vehicle versus an electrical vehicle. The survey concludes that the refill of an electrical vehicle costs up to 90% less than the petrol fill-up of a thermic car.

Subject: This guide is a result of various experts’ contemplations when they gathered for the Regional Seminar on Urban Transportation in the Mediterranean Region organised by CODATU and the World Bank Skhirat, Morocco. Like all metropolises, cities in the Southern Mediterranean are today facing both growing demand for mobility and considerable requirements for transport infrastructure. Based on an analysis of current transport organisation in Mediterranean capitals, this guide takes the form of a genuine decision-making tool for the development of an efficient, viable and sustainable public transport network, based, in particular, on increased capacity.
