1 Public hearing on white paper on Transport – where do we stand now? Bert van Wee Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Brussels, 6-3-2015

2 Commitment on CO2 standards Less emphasis on Biofuels Recognition of importance of electrification. But future is uncertain. Vehicle prices, range, charging infrastructure… Soon new proper test + procedures for fuel use and CO2 emissions of cars (and other road vehicles). Recognition of need for transition (New commitioners ambions: Violeta Bulc?) a) domains where progress has been more successful or positive

3 Governance of type approval. Conformity of production, In use compliance. Survival of most ‘customer friendly’ test institute Bio fuels – too much optimism CO2 standards for car: not stringent enough, real world progress limited. CO2 lorries: stand still b) areas that failed to achieve the desired results

4 Aircraft, sea going ships Consistent integration with overall energy and climate policies. First energy in general, then transport. Position of transport in transition Energy security – transport highly depends on fossil fuels (mainly oil) Road charging Fairness (knowledge gap)

5 Trading system: OK. The devil is in the detail. Distinguish priciple and practice so far. Resistance some industries – exclude some industries? Trading system: OK, but cars ‘should do more’ than according to trading: 1) cars are potitional goods (Verhoef and Van Wee, 2000; Hoen and Geurs, 2011). 2) No carbon leakage. c) Which WP actions should be prioritized from now on?

6 Modal shift policies: be careful. Freight transport: limited potential, expensive (unless via push road), Passenger transport: OK if bicycle, capacity public transport in urban areas. Not: cheaper, faster PT Be careful with TENs: less growth in car use, BCR often poor. HSR: very expensive. Only if air transport limited. Opportunity costs. Rail: poor collaboration. Condition for infra investments. Buying tickets, unreliable

7 Less impact of lobby. Personal impression: Less sound policies. Vested interests prevail…Anti innovations Less transparency Violates democracy Decreases support for EU
