The 7th stakeholder conference The Danube Region Transport Days – DRTD 2022: “Towards energy-efficient, sustainable transport” was held on 28 – 29 November in Ljubljana. The meeting was organised by EUSDR PA1b coordinators in cooperation with the UNECE, the Transport Community and the OJP4 Danube Consortium under the auspices of the Slovenian Presidency of the EUSDR. (Agenda.pdf  Agenda.ppt) 

Discussions focused on making transport more sustainable and energy efficient in the light of new reality of high energy prices and the EU energy deficit as well as identifying possible ways and developments of energy efficiency in transport.
