application, energy-integrated urban transport planning)Ø Institutional strengthening (e.g., regulatory frameworks,vehicle emission standards)
Ø Investments (e.g., demonstration & replication projects)Ø Training (e.g., design, operation, maintenance of vehicles
and transport systems)Ø Targeted research (e.g., adaptation of technologies,techniques, practices to local conditions)
