Project period: March – July 2019
In Haldensleben, various projects are already devoted to the mobility transition that accompanies the energy transition in transport. Following a workshop on electromobility and car sharing, which brought local actors in and around Haldensleben together and linked them, a strategy paper was drawn up in which challenges as well as past and future activities were brought together.The workshop was led by Jakob Gemassmer and Norman Pieniak, staff members in the Research Unit Mobility with Renewable Energy at RLI. The aim of the workshop was to bring together the needs of representatives from politics, transport, business, civil society and administration. The challenges facing the transport transition in the region were brought together and ideas and concrete measures were developed for different areas such as public authorities, the housing industry or business locations on how to tackle the challenges in the individual areas. Following the workshop, the Reiner Lemoine Institute, together with the Haldensleben public utilities, drew up a strategy paper in which a vision as well as short-, medium- and long-term goals for the region in the areas of electromobility and sharing were formulated.
Stadtwerke Haldensleben already has 17 charging stations (as of 07/2019), making it a pioneer in Saxony-Anhalt (in relation to the number of inhabitants) and offering its own car sharing service. The workshop laid the foundation for a closer exchange between local stakeholders in order to actively advance the transport transition in Haldensleben.
