Poor air pollutes our health and has a negative impact on the quality of life in our cities. Many cities are therefore working on solutions to improve air quality. One of these is Clean Air Zones (CAZ), which reduce traffic-related emissions in cities. We spoke to Wilke Reints, Managing Director Yunex Traffic UK about how the solution is improving air quality in our cities. We talked to our UK Managing Director, Wilke Reints (WR), about how clean air zones are driving improvements in air quality in our cities.

From pedestrian crossings to clean air zones, ITS technology continues to help transport authorities make their road networks and vehicle fleets more intelligent, efficient, and safer. And not only does the latest digital technology play a key role in addressing and minimising the impact of vehicle emissions on our roads, it can also reduce the environmental impact of the necessary roadside infrastructure itself.

With our innovative transport solutions, we help cities, road authorities and mobility providers achieve more sustainable mobility. But that's not all we do to take responsibility for our planet. Martin Andrews, Head of Product Management at Yunex Traffic in the UK tells us in an interview how sustainability is integrated into our processes.

For greater awareness of more sustainable mobility, the European Commission launched European Mobility Week (EMW) in 2002. The initiative invites municipalities and cities across Europe to introduce their citizens to the full range of sustainable mobility locally. This year, the European Mobility Week invites you to experience sustainable mobility from many perspectives with lots of events all over the continent. Let’s take a closer look!

The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Causing 20 percent of global emissions, the transport sector is one of the biggest polluters. When we look at our cities, this is hardly surprising.

How can cities reduce their carbon footprint by 12 tonnes of CO2 per year? By renovating the street lighting! We at Yunex Traffic replaced the old luminaires on the SNP bridge with new LED luminaires, which save around 75 MWh of electricity annually. This is how the city reduces its carbon footprint by 12 tonnes of CO2.
