How do different European cities fare on the alternative and zero-emission mobility front? Answering the question is the ranking compiled by Clean Cities Campaign, which analyses the state of the art of European cities in terms of the presence of electric bikes and scooters for sharing, electric car sharing, zero-emission buses and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
Specifically, in 2023 Clean Cities analysed 42 European cities to see which of them are accelerating in terms of shared and electric mobility and which, on the other hand, still need to push for more sustainable forms of mobility.
The score was then awarded on the basis of four criteria:

• Shared electric bicycles and scooters. Score based on the number of shared e-scooters and (e-)bikes available per 1,000 inhabitants. The figures reflect the situation in the first quarter of 2023.
• Shared electric cars. Score based on the number of shared electric cars available per 1,000 inhabitants. The figures reflect the situation in the first quarter of 2023.
• Zero-emission buses. Score based on the share of the city’s zero-emission city bus fleet. The data provided by cities and operators cover the period from 2021 to 2023.
• Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Score based on publicly available charging power per 1,000 inhabitants. The figures reflect the situation in January 2023.

The results. The top ten cities are therefore: Copenhagen (total score 87 per cent); Oslo (81 per cent); Paris (70 per cent – where, however, from September 2023 the use of electric scooters in sharing is banned); Amsterdam (68 per cent); Hamburg (67 per cent); Helsinki (63 per cent); Milan (58 per cent); Lyon (52 per cent); Ljubljana (51) and, finally, Lisbon (50 per cent).

Italian cities in the rankings. Besides Milan in seventh place, the Clean Cities ranking also includes Turin in 16th position, Rome in 28th and Naples in 34th.

The City Ranking with the detailed score for each city and the full research is available on the Clean Cities Campaign website.
