Giving power to mobility hubs

The best expression of a mobility hub is a building which facilitates transitions between different modes of transportation and acts as an “urban node”. Its main function is to be the intersection between individuals’ modes of transport, where long-distance mobility is effortlessly exchanged for inner-city transport options.

The addition of other “supporting” services which are not necessarily transport-related help characterise it as an urban node. Importantly, the mobility hub is expected to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. Currently, the mobility hub facilitates the use of transport, which is already partly electric, and is due to become fully electric in the future.

Going forward, it is vital to ensure its ability to enable further reduction of emissions to guarantee a cleaner environment. Consequently, one of the main challenges when designing the mobility hub is providing enough clean power for these functions.
