This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
The Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Show was organized in two parts. On the one hand, there was an exhibition area where public could learn and watch all about this kind of vehicles, even they were allowed to test them.
On the other hand, there was a congress part where main stakeholders gave conferences and where all of them could exchange all sort of information.
The beneficiaries of the practice were producers and distributors of Alternative-Fuel Vehicle as well as general public.
This good practice is related to awareness raising and with the policies and measures for Electro-Mobility because it was part of the Regional Strategy for electric vehicle in Castilla y León.

Expert opinion
More and more low-carbon transport solutions emerge on the market every year, but consumers typically still plump for traditional internal combustion energy vehicles. In part, this is down to long-held preference, in part, down to low awareness of the available alternatives. This practice is a good example of engaging individuals with low-carbon vehicles – both the public and industry – and is linked to the broader regional strategy for e-mobility, which can help to maximise impact. The practice is transferable, though, as noted, it is resource intensive, so would be best implemented by several regions together to pool resources. An alternative approach could involve a roadshow, with smaller scale exhibitions visiting several towns.

Resources needed
The amount of funding/financial resources used was about 100.000 – 150.000 € and the human resources required to set up and to run the practice were about 4 people per year.
Evidence of success
The main objective for this practice as indicated previously was to obtain a greater visibility. As a factual evidence that demonstrates its success, the AC Castile and Leon can attest that the show attracted about 10.000 people each year and the 20 % of them were sector professionals.
Potential for learning or transfer
This practice could be potentially interesting for other regions because of the visibility about electric vehicles achieved.
The major disadvantage is the investment needed, because it has a size so that consider. This makes the practice inadequate for the Actions Plans and Regional Co-Design Stakeholder Workshops.
However, with this practice, the Awareness about Electromobility in society would rise clearly and that is the reason why we take it into account for this template.
