Stockholm leads the way with more common sense when it comes to creating a clean city. Teaming up with Fortum, the energy company, the city plans to make itself one of the cleanest cities in the world.
In late November, the Eurocities 2009 conference in Stockholm discussed what sustainable solutions could be employed, and electric cars are on the agenda for an emissions-free city by 2030.
With Fortum, Stockholm is trialling an infrastructure for charging electric cars as well as increasing the use of renewable fuels for heat and power production.
Videos below demonstrate how charging could take place, and feature comments from the Mayor, Sten Nordin, Fortum’s Marie Fossum and RCA car designer Tue Beijer.
