In this edition of The Mobility Week in Review we will cover the latest news on Germany's efforts to boost public transport usage, the potential entry of Chery into Barcelona, as well as an update on the recently released Q1 financial results. A must see is our reading list of the top papers, reports and studies published in April.

🎟️ A game changer for mobility or a wildcard for the German economy?

Germany is once again turning the screw on the policy of mobility. The Central European country has introduced a new subscription-based travel pass that offers unlimited access to all city buses, subways, and trams in the country for a comfortable €49 per month. The ticket, known as the Deutschland-Ticket, includes local and regional trains but not intercity services, with the aim of encouraging people to take shorter journeys on public transport.
