Mobility and Transport

The current EU priorities in the field of Mobility and Transport are presented namely in the document: "Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy". It contains namely 82 different initiatives. This strategy lays the foundation of how the EU transport system can achieve its green and digital transformation and become more resilient to future crises. As highlighted in the European Green Deal, the result will be a 90% cut in emissions by 2050, delivered by a smart, competitive, safe, accessible and affordable transport system. Among the key targets are namely:

All transport modes must become more sustainable, with green alternatives widely available and the right incentives put in place to drive the transition. Concrete milestones will keep the European transport system’s journey towards a smart and sustainable future on track:

By 2030:

• At least 30 million zero-emission cars will be in operation on European roads
• 100 European cities will be climate neutral.
• High-speed rail traffic will double across Europe
• Scheduled collective travel for journeys under 500 km should be carbon neutral
• Automated mobility will be deployed at large scale
• Zero-emission marine vessels will be market-ready

By 2035:

• Zero-emission large aircraft will be market-ready

By 2050:

• Nearly all cars, vans, buses as well as new heavy-duty vehicles will be zero-emission.
• Rail freight traffic will double.
• A fully operational, multimodal Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) for sustainable and smart transport with high speed connectivity.
