European Mobility Week 2025

What is European Mobility Week?

European Mobility Week External link, opens in new window. is a campaign that aims to raise awareness among policymakers and citizens about the negative consequences of irrational use os the traditional car - with combustion engine - in the city, both for public health and the environment, and to promote the benefits of using more sustainable models of transport, such as public transport, cycling and walking.

The slogan chosen by the European Commission for 2025 is Mobility for everyone. 

In its 24th edition, European Mobility Week promotes a society in which sustainable transport is accessible to all, regardless of income, place of residence, gender or ability. The initiative proposes imagining and building a future where mobility services are affordable, inclusive and safe, ensuring that walking, cycling or travelling by public transport are real alternatives for the entire population.

During the entire week, local authorities are encouraged to implement innovative urban planning initiatives, promote new infrastructure and technologies, assess air quality and collect residents’ opinions.

In addition, 22 September is Car-Free Day, which aims to find new solutions to the problems associated with increase in vehicle traffic that generates emissions in cities.

Main activities of the European Mobility Week 2025

European Mobility Week is an awareness-raising campaign open to cities and towns, businesses, non-governmental organisations and educational communities. Hundreds of #mobilityactions are registered on the official website to highlight local initiatives for a new transport and lifestyle.

Activities can take any form: from guided walks or bike rides to street games or public lectures, as long as they promote public transport, cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable mobility.

This year, the European Mobility Week has laid out some goals, like: improving the quality of urban life and promoting people-oriented infrastructure; complementing other European Union initiatives like REPowerEU and the European Green Deal; and facilitating the use of cleaner modes of transportation and promoting behavioural change that encourages active mobility and public transport.

Last year, in 2024, a total of 2.600 cities in 45 counties took part of the event. Participation was lower than in the previous year, as several cities and municipalities registered for European Mobility Week were affected by the severe floods that hit Central and Eastern Europe. Countries such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia had heavy rainfall that caused major disruptions to public transport and forced numerous scheduled activities to be cancelled.

This year is expected to see the incorporation of more local councils, like every year, demonstrating that this initiative is a good opportunity to take stock of current transport challenges, test new forms of mobility and activate permanent measures to actively move towards the mobility of the future.

Iberdrola at the European Mobility Week 2025

Iberdrola invests in electric mobility as a key element in the fight against climate change, and that is why it continues with its electric vehicle charging points plan in SpainEnlace externo, se abre en ventana nueva.. Since Iberdrola launched its pioneering mobility plan in 2016, with the aim of deploying more than 10,000 charging points by 2025, the company has managed to turn that goal into reality and, with over 10,000 operational points — three times more than in 2022 — it has established itself as the largest public charging network in Spain and a benchmark in the development of such infrastructures.

The electricity company also participated in VEM 2025: the ninth edition of an exhibition and test of electric vehicles held in Madrid and aimed at the general public. The aim of the event was to bring zero-emission mobility closer to both private individuals and professionals, both public and private.

And continuing with this important pillar of dissemination, Iberdrola published the podcast "Electric car. A modality with a great future", in which Carlos Pérez, Head of Residential Recharging and Alliances of the Smart Mobility team, answers some common questions about the electric car together with karate athlete Sandra Sánchez, motor expert Juanfran Calero and journalist Nira Juanco.
