In this context, electric mobility is an opportunity to promote more sustainable transport solutions and to strengthen the island&#8217;s tourism appeal.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Approach<\/h2>\n<p>The intervention was based on developing and testing an integrated electric mobility solution adapted to the island&#8217;s territorial characteristics, combining light electric vehicles, autonomous solar-powered charging systems and local maintenance and technical support mechanisms, involving public bodies, tourism operators, local communities and regional technicians.<\/p>\n<h2>Impact<\/h2>\n<p>The project helped to introduce innovative sustainable mobility solutions in the Autonomous Region of Pr\u00edncipe, supporting the region&#8217;s decarbonisation goals and positioning Pr\u00edncipe as a pilot territory for the implementation of electric mobility solutions in small island states.<\/p>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p>As a result of the implementation, 14 electric bicycles were made available, placed with tourism operators, hotels and the regional government, helping to boost the local economy and to promote low-carbon transport solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The intervention also included the installation of 3 off-grid charging stations, the setting up of a bicycle workshop and the training of 16 local technicians, creating the conditions needed to operate, maintain and later expand these solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfroSmartSpot @ Pr\u00edncipe Island was developed in the Autonomous Region of Pr\u00edncipe as a pilot zero-emission electric mobility project, aligned with the Carbon Sustainability Roadmap for Pr\u00edncipe Island, demonstrating the viability of sustainable mobility solutions adapted to the island context.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":593,"template":"","categories":[23],"class_list":["post-592","projetos","type-projetos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-climate-action"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/efrican.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projetos\/592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/efrican.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projetos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/efrican.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projetos"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efrican.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/efrican.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efrican.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
