Technology Transfer
According to the EEA, energy consumption in transport in the EU in 2017 was 32% higher than in 1990. In particular, in the regions of Central Europe (CE) 4 countries (Slovenia, Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia) have doubled their energy consumption for mobility, with transport still heavily dependent on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions above the EU average, with disparities in energy efficiency performance in the transport sector and in the use of renewable energy, making it difficult to achieve the EU’s energy targets.
The Energy Efficiency Directive requires EU Member States to achieve specific results without imposing how to do so, but setting targets and indicators.
The REDU-CE-D project aims to increase the energy efficiency of different modes of transport in the EC by transposing the Energy Efficiency Directive into different transport sectors (air transport, urban transport, river transport and rail transport) through experimentation, the development and dissemination of a customised Environmental Management System (EMS) based on EU requirements and a jointly defined strategy.
A transnational and cooperative approach is used to develop a joint strategy on Energy Transition in the transport sector in the EC, based on the assessment, mapping and evaluation of best practices already implemented for monitoring energy consumption in the transport system at Central European level. In addition to this research and selection process, a Transnational Working Group assesses the level of adaptability of the selected practices, providing strategic input for their capitalisation and implementation. To test the effectiveness of customised EMS support packages in the transport sector, the project is implementing a pilot action at four different sites.
Each test implementation is developed jointly by each mode of transport (two partners for each sector) in four different countries: Croatia (air transport), Poland (urban transport), Hungary (river transport) and Italy (rail transport).

The project focuses on creating EMS support packages that can benefit project partners. The potential for transferability to other EC regions will be facilitated through the participation of key stakeholders not directly involved in the project (airports, ports, rail and urban transport authorities) in the 4 planned pilot test visits. The joint evaluation of each test action conducted by all project partners is the key document for the further validation of the EMS packages, which will then be finalised jointly during the Transnational Advisory Forum.
The project can also contribute to the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive and serve as a concrete tool to motivate investments in the energy transition by large companies and public service providers, guiding the entire region towards the goal of a climate-neutral Central Europe.
