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.

Subject: This study, published by the Futuribles International association in collaboration with IFSTTAR (the French Institute of Sciences and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks), focuses on the future of mobility in medium-sized towns and agglomeration communities. This work fills a gap in this area and represents a pool of ideas from which local authorities are free to help themselves. It has led to around 40 innovations being retained, from which several mobility scenarios for the year 2030 have been established.
