2. Long-term climate strategy proposal 2050
EU leads in clean energy transition and GHG emissions reduction. Ambitious targets. Greater ambition needed for
Transformations necessary: energy system, buildings, transport, industry, agriculture.
There are a number of pathways for achieving a climate neutral EU, challenging but feasible from a technological, economic, environmental and social perspective.

3. Clean, safe & connected mobility
Carbon-free power, cheaper and efficient batteries, highly efficient electric powertrains, connectivity and autonomous driving offers prospects to decarbonise road transport.
Digitalisation, data sharing and interoperable standards leading to a more efficient mobility system, supported by (cooperative) intelligent transport systems, infrastructure for modal shift and adequate road pricing
No single silver bullet for all transport modes with alternative fuels having a role in powertrain shift, part. in heavy duty or long distance transport modes (advanced biofuels, carbon-free e-fuels, hydrogen).
Need to develop alternative fuels for all modes in transport – current market offerings too limited
Innovative mobility for urban areas and smart cities – key areas of impact, key testbeds of change

4. Example: Drivetrains in cars

5. Example: drivetrains in HGV

6. Fuel use in Transport

7. Embrace clean, safe and connected & automated mobility
A broad policy mix
Internalisation of externalities, incl. road pricing
Infrastructure to encourage modal shift to rail and inland navigation as well as multi-modality
Powertrain shift
Urban and Regional planning
Automation as a driver for lower (sharing) rather than higher (activity) emissions
Consumer and Business Choices
Public Procurement of fleets

8. Pillars of Clean Mobility Alternative/ Clean Sources
Vehicles
Alternative/ Clean Sources
Infra structure
Better Organisation

9. EU legislation & other initiatives supporting
CO2 emission targets for cars, vans & trucks
Clean Vehicles Directive
Renewable Energy Directive
(& Battery Action Plan)
Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive (& Action Plan)
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
Intelligent Transport Systems Directive
Combined Transport Directive
Eurovignette Directive
Urban Mobility Package
EU legislation & other initiatives supporting
sustainable & intelligent mobility

10. Clean Mobility Package: CO2 emission performance standards for cars and vans
Average new passenger car % vans emissions to be
15% lower in 2025 (starting point: 95 g Co2/km and 147 g CO2/km respectively) and
to be 37.5% lower in 2030 compared to 2021 for cars and 31% for vans
Based on WLTP = targets expressed as percentage reductions compared to the average of the specific emission targets for 2021
Incentive mechanism for low- and zero-emission vehicles
New governance – market surveillance mechanisms

11. Clean Mobility package: CO2 standards for heavy duty trucks
4 Largest lorry categories accounting 65-70% of total HDV emissions
All lorries, coaches and buses will enter in the scope in 2022
Relative, not absolute figure: % reduction compared to 2019
Tailpipe based approach
Mandatory target for 2025: -15%
Mandatory target for 2030: at least -30%
Part 3: CO2 standards

12. Clean Mobility package: Clean Vehicles Directive
extension of scope to vehicles rented, leased, hire purchased and to wider set of service contracts
Introduction of a definition based on tail-pipe emission-thresholds for light-duty vehicles
Requirements for heavy duty vehicles are based on alternative fuels (electricity, hydrogen, CNG, LNG)
Minimum procurement targets at Member State level for two reference periods for the aggregate of all new contracts under the provisions of the Directive, differentiated by Member State
Review clause for 2027 to extend beyond 2030.
Part 3: CO2 standards

13. Sector integration Renewable Energies Directive
Obligation of fuel suppliers achieving 14% target
Indicative trajectory
Scope: biofuels, res electricity, RFNBOs, recycled carbon fuels
Contribution of conventional biofuels optional and limited
Energy efficiency performance of Buildings Directive
supports installation of recharging points in (non-residential) buildings with car parks over a certain size and of ducting infrastructure for car parks over a certain size .
Part 3: CO2 standards

14. Review of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive
By now, with some delays, almost all Member States have transposed Directive 2014/94/EU.
By 18 November 2019, Member States have to report on progress on the implementation of their National Policy Frameworks (NPFs).
Current assessment of NPFs shows shortcomings, part. past 2020
An evaluation has started – hand in hand with the evaluation of the TEN-T guidelines
Key need: everybody can recharge/refuel everywhere in a seamless, easy manner in the EU
Need for an open market with interoperable services across borders
Part 3: CO2 standards

15. On the road to automated mobility: An EU strategy for mobility of the future
3 main axes:
Developing key technologies and infrastructures in the EU
Ensuring safe deployment of automated mobility and future- proof legal framework
Addressing societal concerns, in particular jobs and ethical issues
Two new actions proposed:
Single platform on CCAM/ Common and shared vision on testing and deployment of CCAM. Build on work done in ITS Committee and STRIA
Public Private Partnership under discussion

17. Actions To Support Multimodality
The internalisation of external costs in all modes of transport (polluter pays).
Financial Support to multimodal infrastructure and innovation, in particular in the context of the Connecting Europe Facility, for better interconnections
Digitalisation: Better usage of information and data (eg traffic, capacity, availability, positioning, multimodal travel information and ticketing)
Direct support for intermodal transport with the Combined Transport Directive (92/106/EEC)
The promotion of 'active mobility' integrated with other modes in particular in an urban and smart cities context.
Working towards a legislative framework to protect passenger rights in multimodal journeys;
