Emissions targets in transport

• Reduce emission by 10% by 2020

• Reduce emissions by 30% by 2030

Effort Sharing Targets

• 90% reduction in transport emissions by 2050.

EU Green Deal


Green Deal

• To achieve climate neutrality, a 90% reduction in transport emissions is needed by 2050.

• Achieving sustainable transport means putting users first and providing them with more affordable,

accessible, healthier and cleaner alternatives to their current mobility habits.

• A substantial part of the 75% of inland freight carried today by road should shift onto rail and inland

waterways.

• The Commission will also give fresh political consideration as to how to achieve effective road

pricing in the EU.

• By 2025, about 1 million public recharging and refuelling stations will be needed for the 13 million

zero- and low-emission vehicles expected on European roads.

• The Commission will also review the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive and the TEN-T

Regulation to accelerate the deployment of zero- and low-emission vehicles.

• Assessment of legislative options to boost the production and supply of sustainable alternative fuels

for the different transport modes.

• Initiatives to increase and better manage the capacity of railways and inland waterways (potential

indirect impact on available alternatives to inter-urban car journeys).

• The Commission will also propose to revise by June 2021 the legislation on CO2 emission

performance standards for cars and vans, to ensure a clear pathway from 2025 onwards towards

zero-emission mobility.


Transport policy: EU and

National levels


ASIF framework

F

GHG

Activity:

Total transport demand

Shift:

Modal share of road transport

Intensity:

Energy units per unit of activity

Fuel:

GHG emissions per unit of energy consumed


EU-Level transport policy often have a technical focus and aim to reduce GHG or

energy per km

• Performance Standards for Light-duty vehicles

• Targets for Light-duty vehicles manufactures

• CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles

• Fuel Quality Directive

• Car Labelling Directive

Key EU Transport policies

National policies aim to reduce GHG emissions in many different ways.

• Travel behaviour

• Improved spatial planning

Activity: Total transport demand

• Development of public transport and non-motorised modes

• Development of transport infrastructure

• Taxes/charges in road transport

• Improved freight inter-modality

Shift: Modal share of road transport

• Economic incentives for more efficient

• Vehicle occupation – car sharing

• Driving behaviour training

Intensity: Energy consumption per unit of activity

• Support for alternative fuel infrastructure

• Promotion of low carbon vehicles (EVs, hydrogen, etc.)

Fuel: GHG emissions per unit of energy consumed
