Škoda Group will deliver 46 trolleybuses to #Esslingen, #Germany, as part of a €41.4 million contract to support the city's transition to emission-free public transport. The vehicles, which will be delivered by 2026, include 12-metre and 18-metre models, with an option for 15 more. Equipped with batteries for up to 25 km of #autonomous operation and regenerative braking, the #trolleybuses will feature enhanced passenger comfort, including comfortable seating, electric ramps, and onboard Wi-Fi. The new fleet will help Esslingen achieve its goal of climate neutrality by 2040, making it one of the first #German cities with fully emission-free local #transport. Škoda’s role in Germany’s emission-free #mobility market continues to grow, with projects like the world’s longest tram for Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH.

The #European Commission has welcomed an agreement to modernise EU #driving licence rules, aiming to improve road safety and reduce administrative burdens. Key changes include digital driving licences, an EU-wide accompanied driving scheme for 17-year-olds, and a probationary period for novice drivers. The Directive also introduces checks on drivers’ physical and mental fitness and focuses on safer interaction with vulnerable road users. It aligns licences with advancements like #autonomous vehicles and #zero-emission cars. Additionally, licences from certain third countries will be recognised across the #EU. The Directive will be adopted soon, with national implementation required within four years, contributing to the EU’s Vision Zero goal of reducing road deaths to zero by 2050.

So, who wants to quit the #megamachine, build a #solarpunk #ND, #disability friendly #autonomous #regenerative #intentionalcommunity in woods, grow abundent food, medicine, trees to share with whoever needs it, host people who need a place to be, help heal whoever needs to heal, actually have time and spoons to enjoy living?

Not looking for arguments.

Seeking dreamers to live simply, learn skills, be uncomfortable, enjoy music, stories, art, campfires, singing, howling at the moon

Just finished #reading Ali Meghji's book "Decolonizing #Sociology"--great analysis of how #colonialism affected the sociology discipline & theoretical #canon. He argues for subverting sociological imperialism, centering the process and effects of coloniality within sociological research, & embracing #autonomous sociologies. It's very readable & approachable, clear in argument but also in its advocacy for walking a new path. Highly recommended, even for students.
