Mobility Prize.NRW 2023: Innovative mobility concepts honored
The Mobility Prize.NRW 2023, an initiative of the Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Transport of North Rhine-Westphalia, awarded innovative mobility projects for the first time on Monday, December 18, 2023, as part of the NRW Mobility Day in Essen. This award recognizes pioneering mobility solutions from or for North Rhine-Westphalia and provides new impetus for a climate-friendly transformation of transport and society.
The winners of the mobility award
The “Citizens' Laboratory Mobile Münsterland” of the Coesfeld district received first place for its systemic approach to improving mobility in rural areas. In second place was the “Power Road by Eurovia” project from Vinci Construction Shared Services GmbH, which focuses on the use of solar heat from road surfaces. Third place went to Wupsi GmbH with its on-demand service “efi” for Leverkusen and the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis.
Innovative spirit and broad spectrum of submissions
The Mobility Prize.NRW, combined as a jury and audience prize, was characterized by a wide range of creative and sustainable project proposals. The finalists were initially selected by an expert jury before the public voted online for the winners. The three best projects were rewarded with a total prize money of 30,000 euros, which is intended to contribute to the further development of their projects.
More than a prize: A stage for mobility innovations
This award is not only a recognition of the outstanding projects, but also a springboard to make innovative mobility solutions better known and encourage imitation. The Mobility Prize.NRW underlines the commitment of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to support and promote creative solutions for the mobility transition.
