Public Transport Infrastructure in Central Europe – facilitate transitioning to circular economy

Programme 2021 - 2027 Interreg VI-B Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2026-07-01

Description

Description (EN):

CE4CE aims at bringing circular economy principles into the public transport sector and, thus, reduce waste, increase efficiency in the sector and improve the ecological footprint of public transport. This challenge affects in particular local public authorities, infrastructure and (public) service providers, and actors along the whole value/supply chain of public transport systems in Central Europe. Through CE4CE, the public transport sector shall be empowered towards a circular system thinking and, thus, to understand and identify circularity gaps, develop circular approaches, and to integrate these approaches into strategic frameworks for the development of circular public transport systems. Furthermore, stakeholders from the public transport community will cooperate in CE4CE to jointly develop and adapt processes and solutions as key enablers for the integration of circular economy principles, like data sharing concepts, new (innovation) procurement guidance, product- and business model designs, extended life-cycle assessment and cost-benefit analysis methodologies. CE4CE will also jointly develop outputs based on co-creation and peer reviews for take up by the public transport setor, e.g. pilot actions and solutions like the CE4CE Circularity Compass for public transport, the CE4CE Circularity Knowledge platform, a web-based second-hand market place, strategies and pilot actions to increase resource-efficiency and pilots demonstrating use more, reuse and recycle approaches for the public transport sector. CE4CE’s partnership reflects the whole value chain and transport sector system perspective including 12 PPs from 7 CE countries, ranging from PT authorities/operators, industry and research to an interest group. To enlarge this cooperation, associated partners like the international active networks ICLEI, UITP and EIT Urban Mobility/Raw Materials are strategically involved to maximise communication outreach and knowledge transfer of project results.

Actual Achievements (EN):

The project conducted multiple activities across the three thematic work packages and advanced well into the preparation of strategies, action plans and pilots which lay the basis for achieving the project goals. The consortium concentrated its efforts towards developing and assessing the first project pilot, namely the circularity compass (WP1/ Activity 1.1). The development of the compass was based on a co-design process involving all project partners and selected external experts. The compass took the form of an online self-assessment survey, and it is publicly and freely available on the project knowledge platform (Activity 1.2). The platform has been co-designed in collaboration with the partnership and with the support of an external web developer. Besides having a dedicated section on the compass, the platform features project results as well as a selection of external complementary resources that would support users in a better uptake of the circularity principles into the public transport system. The compass formed the basis for planning and conceptualising the 3 project strategies (WP2/ Activities 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3) which are currently under development by the responsible partners and with the involvement of life-cycle actors. All five project pilots, part of WP3 (Activities 3.1-3.3), have finalised the conceptualisation phase, whereas the preparation phase is currently in progress. The conceptualisation phase has been structured in the following process steps: research and status quo, engagement of stakeholders, concept of the pilot by determining background, objective, vision, goals and targets. The Advisory Board members have been activated and engaged in the preparation of strategies concepts. Two validation workshops have been organized for defining the circularity compass key focus areas, and one Hungarian national workshop. The project continued working on multiple activities across the three thematic work packages and advanced well into the pilot implementation (WP1 and 3), preparation of strategies (WP2), conceptualization of action plans (WP2), developing the first solution (WP3), all of which lay the basis for achieving the project goals. The consortium invested high efforts into knowledge sharing and dissemination activities at the regional and European levels, focusing on raising awareness on the project outputs: pilot O1.1 circularity compass, solution O1.2 knowledge platform, solution O3.10 online second-hand and match-making market, as well as implemented pilots, part of WP 3 (O3.1 and O3.3). This has been realized through the successful organization of workshops and webinars, as well as participation in relevant thematic events and conferences. The compass formed the basis for planning, conceptualisation and development of the 3 project strategies (WP2/ Activities 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3) which have been developed by the responsible partners and with the involvement of the partnership and of external life-cycle actors. The project pilots’ part of WP3 (O3.5, O3.7 and O3.9) are currently under development, progressing within implementation with first results expected in the second half of 2025. Within two consortium meetings (April 2024 Vienna and October 2024 Prague), all partners co-designed and brought together their knowledge in better definition of the pilot implementation requirements, the strategies key points including aspects such as innovative measures and methodologies and their evaluation and monitoring during implementation. The Advisory Board members have been further engaged in the strategies development and review process, as well as into the conceptualization of the output O3.10. Two validation workshops have been organized for defining the circularity compass key focus areas, and one Hungarian national workshop.

Circular Cities Declaration (H2020) (EN) | The Circular Cities Declaration (CCD; https://circularcitiesdeclaration.eu/) is a commitment document from cities and regions to use the levers at their disposal coherently across the organisation to transition from a linear to a circular economy. Transport has so far not been addressed adequately by the CCD, and CE4CE will provide input to the CCD Action Plan development by providing a blueprint for the public transport sector. The CCD is managed by the associated partner and Advisory Board member ICLEI Europe and has so far over 60 signatories (among them PP MOM). CE4CE and ICLEI will promote jointly the CCD (the associated partner cities Bergamo, Gdynia, Leipzig and Szeged will sign the CCD during the project lifetime) and organize training events for the ca. 60 signatories cities on how to take up CE4CE’S strategies and solutions. The PP trolley:motion is an endorser of the CCD. (EN), Net Zero Cities (H2020/Green Deal, Climate-Neutral Cities Mission) (EN) | NetZeroCities (NZC) is part of the H2020 Research & Innovation Programme in support of  European Union’s Green Deal. NZC has been designed to help cities overcome the current structural, institutional and cultural barriers they face in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. NZC will support the EU’s Mission of “100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030” newly-launched as part of the Horizon Europe programme. The project will work as a service-oriented platform providing cities with the support and solutions they need to achieve their Net Zero goal. Circular Economy is one of the corner stones to realise the climate-neutral cities mission and the associated partner ICLEI, EIT Urban Mobility and UITP are all partners in NZC. CE4CE will establish a communication and knowledge exchange concept with NZC and provide strategies and solutions to the Mission's platform, and share relevant knowledge for a circular public transport sector on its own CE4CE knowledge platform (agreed multi-homing approach).

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

EuropeanGreenDeal Circular Economy is one of the main building blocks of the European Green Deal. A significant transformation, especially of the transport sector, which accounts for a quarter of the EU’s GHG emissions, is needed, to reach the ambitious goal of climate neutrality by 2050. However, the EC's Circular Economy Action Plan - as central part of the European Green Deal implementation - is focusing so far only on batteries and vehicles as central areas for the transport sector, with links to the Batteries Directive and the Clean Vehicle Directive. The CE4CE project will contribute to that zero-emission public transport transformation through battery-equipped vehciles and the need for procurement of clean / zero-emission fleets for the Clean Vehicle Directive deplyoment by addressing extended life cycles of batteries, 2nd life reuse concepts, predicitve vehicle maintenance and energy management as well as guidance for circular econyom pprinciples for clean/zero-emission fleet procurement. In addition, CE4CE will go beyond EC's Circular Economy Action Plan and provide strategies and solutions for the whole public transport sector, increasing the lifetime of infrastructure and vehicles (not only related to batteries) to reduce waste and emissions, and strengthening clean and sustainable public transport. CE4CE will provide recommendations - based on the results strategies and solutions - on how to extend the EC's Circular Economy Action Plan to the whole public transport sector (communciation with the EC will be supported by the associated partners ICLEI and UITP).
TerritorialAgenda2030 CE4CE contributes to the Territorial Agenda by supporting regions to become climate-neutral and resilient. Building on the joint development of solutions to create a green Europe and to address disparities between the regions, the project supports endeavours to reduce the impact of the transport sector on the environment and the climate. It empowers stakeholders to identify and close circularity gaps and fosters the transition to a circular and climate-neutral regional and transnational economy.
EUStrategyDanubeRegion CE4CE contributes to the EUSDR as it provides input and knowledge to the strategies’ priority towards a greener, low carbon Europe by promoting clean and fair energy transition, green and blue investment, the circular economy, climate adaptation and risk prevention and management. The EUSDR also highlights cross-cutting topics like smart cities, green transport and circular economy, which is exactly the core of the CE4CE project, involving also relevant players from the smart cities and green transport area like ICLEI, UITP and EIT Urban Mobility as associated partners and Advisory Board members. With jointly developed strategies for a circular public transport system, CE4CE will promote the transition to a circular economy in the procurement and operation of public transport infrastructure and vehicles, which can be taken up by the EUSDR.
EUStrategyAdriaticIonianRegion CE4CE supports with its project activities around energy-efficiency through circular econyom prrinciples and circular energy flows in public transport systems EUSAIR’s strategic goals to develop reliable transport networks and to achieve a well-interconnected and well-functioning internal energy market supporting the three energy policy objectives of the EU – competitiveness, security of supply and sustainability. In addition, EUSAIR’s goal for sustainable growth incl. the need of modernisation of the transport sector (as the Adriatic and Ionian Region faces the same challenge as Central Europe in terms of public transport system modernisation) to make it more efficient hence more environmentally-friendly (e.g. by promoting inter-modality); incl. the production and integration of renewable energy sources into transport systems. Furthermore, CE4CE promotes the strategic goal of creating new business opportunities, hence new jobs, through a circular economy perspective for public transport. CE4CE’S strategies and pilots/joint solutions can be taken up by the the Adriatic and Ionian Region as policy framework and best practices to foster the transition towards a sustainable circular transport sector.
EUStrategyBalticSeaRegion CE4CE supports the main objectives of the EUSBSR by supporting the jointly development of coherent policy frameworks at local and regional level to tackle challenges like climate change and thus the transformation of the transport sector from a linear to a circular economy. The project aims to raise awareness on circularity gaps and waste generation, to strengthen the skills of public and private stakeholder and to implement circularity into the public transport sector. Project results can be taken up and joint communication activites will be discussed with the EUSBSR Communication Point.
EUStrategyAlpineRegion CE4CE contributes mostly to the 2nd and 3rd thematic area of the EUSALP by fostering the transition to a climate-neutral and circular transport sector, the project aligned with the goal to limit the ecological footprint of transport and energy projects by promoting the electrification of public transport on the one hand and preserving natural resources through well-integrated circular economy strategies on the other hand. CE4CE will proactively communicate with the EUSALP's action groups on green infrastructure, energy and economic development to foster knowledge exchange about project results and to initiate joint communciation events, e.g. workshops, trainings.
Other The recently adopted Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy of the EC has the overall objective to “put European transport on the right track for a sustainable and smart future” starting the shift to zero-emission mobility in public transport. CE4CE is to create sustainable mobility and make all transport modes more sustainable by jointly developing pilot actions on circular procurement and operation of public transport infrastructure, energy and vehicles. Therefore, CE4CE contributes to teh strategy by supporting the realisation of the Clean Vehicle Directive by extended procurement guidance for clean / zero-emission fleets (by integrating circular economy principles) and solutions to extended life cycles of batteries, 2nd life reuse concepts, predicitve vehicle maintenance and energy management.
