STEER-NWE

Many cities in North-West Europe still rely heavily on private cars, a major source of energy use and carbon emissions. As Low Emission Zones (LEZs) expand, they often bring unintended side effects like social exclusion and poor access to transport. At the same time, urban space, housing, and energy systems remain disconnected from mobility planning. Without coordination and smarter solutions, the transition to cleaner transport risks leaving people behind.

STEER-NWE is here to change that.The project supports six major cities and regions to pilot inclusive,sustainable electric car-sharing solutions. By connecting mobility with public space, housing, and renewable energy, STEER-NWE helps reduce emissions and improve access. Together with communities, we’re co-creating practical tools, testing new ideas, and building capacity among local leaders to make clean mobility areal alternative for everyone.These efforts are backed by a strong focus on collaboration. STEER-NWE brings together local authorities, researchers, energy providers, and mobility experts across six countries to share knowledge, innovate together, and replicate what works. This collective approach ensures that solutions are not only effective but also scalable and adaptable across the whole North-West Europe region.

By the end of the project, STEER-NWE is planned to have saved over 1,000 tonnes of CO₂, introduced three innovative e-car-sharing models,and trained more than 120 professionals across the region.Through a digital Toolkit, a transnational Roadmap, and real-life pilot results, cities and regions will be empowered to scale up energy-efficient mobility and make e-car-sharing work for people, not just policies.

This project is supported by the Interreg North-West Europe Programme and co-funded by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund – ERDF). The project duration is January 2025 – June 2028.

The project is co-funded by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity (MECB).
