Ensuring affordable mobility & choice for all

What our industry offers

• A broad choice of different types of vehicles, across various price segments, providing suitable solutions for different budgets.
• Even more powertrain options to choose from in the future, each serving specific communities and mobility needs – ranging from inner-city delivery and regional commuting to long-distance travel.
• Continued investment in new mobility services, including on-demand models (such as carsharing, ride-hailing and ridesharing) and innovative logistics concepts

What Europe should do

• Create adequate and favourable market conditions for the uptake of ZLEVs in all member states through financial and non-financial incentives, making cleaner vehicles affordable for all layers of society.
• Recognise that decarbonisation can only happen at a pace that is supported by society as a whole.
  • New rules and regulations should not have a negative impact on the freedom of mobility of people with limited means.
• Ensure technology neutrality when it comes to alternative powertrains to ensure that innovation triggers the best solutions for consumers.
  • Imposing specific technologies only limits choice and constrains innovation; Europe will only thrive if people are provided with more choice instead of less.
• Put the principle of ‘co-modality’ at the heart of future EU transport policy. All transport modes should be integrated in a complementary way, including privately-owned vehicles.
• Address consumer uncertainty by tackling the growing patchwork of urban vehicle access restrictions, and their lack of coherence with the EU internal market rules.
