The new mobility service will become operational in 2022: thanks to NOEMIX, Friuli Venezia Giulia is going to be the first region where a considerable share of company cars of municipalities, unions of municipalities (UTI), healthcare authorities, the regional administration and other public institutions will be phased out and replaced by electric vehicles. By aggregating the mobility needs of several public authorities, the current model based on car ownership will be phased out and replaced by a centralized electric mobility service managed by private operators.

In addition to the car-sharing service, the rental of electric vehicles and to a software aimed at managing and optimizing public authorities’ mobility, NOEMIX envisages to install charging stations as well as to produce electric energy from renewable energy sources.

The project, which started in June 2017, will last for five years and aims at making Friuli Venezia Giulia a forerunner region at European level in the transition to a low-carbon economy. NOEMIX has a budget of 900.000 euro granted by the European Commission that by 2020 will mobilize around 21,5 million euro of investments to give life to the NOEMIX service.

NOEMIX aims at reducing CO2 emissions, increasing the production of energy from renewable energy sources, reducing pollution – as a result of the reduction of the emissions deriving from internal combustion engines – as well as cutting down particulate matter and noise generated by congestion in urban areas.

As shown in the chart, NOEMIX will introduce at least 574 electric vehicles in the fleet of regional public authorities, together with 212 charging stations and a photovoltaic plant that will satisfy the 100% of the electric energy needs. The expected primary energy savings amount to about 2,936 GWh, with a reduction of around 1000t of CO2 emissions. The model can be replicated in other regions in Italy and Europe.
