Subject: Since 1998, the Michelin Challenge Bibendum has sought to reconcile the car with its environment by building on the know-how of the engineers who are transforming the way we travel. This book puts into perspective the innovations - electric mobility, road safety, and new technologies - that will make up the sustainable mobility of tomorrow.
Author: Michelin Challenge Bibendum: this book was published on the occasion of the 10th edition of the Challenge Bibendum, which was created in 1998.

Subject: "Think Globally, Act Locally" is the message delivered by the Assembly of European Regions in their report on regional energy policies. 67 regions in 25 countries participated in the survey in order to measure regional opportunities in terms of renewable energies. The objective is to make the region an incontrovertible player in the development of clean energy resources and in meeting energy demand. This report thus shows a panorama of regional activities and the different ways in which European territories extract and work energy resources.

Subject: At a time when the electric car is becoming increasingly popular, this report aims to question its role in the zero-carbon future of the European transport sector. It thus offers a precise survey of progress being made across Europe in the field of electric mobility and takes an interest in the governmental policies that need developing in order to roll out the electric car.

Subject: This case study revisits the concept of "sustainable mobility" and attempts to define the methods through which transport players have integrated new environmental targets, compared to traditional economic targets. The article highlights various policy instruments, such as indicators, that have been put in place in order to contribute to improving transport.
