1 Transport research and innovation for Europe's future mobility The Strategic transport technology plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 17 February 2012 Marcel Rommerts, DG MOVE

2 The 2011 White Paper. WP WP. MR WP 1992 Opening the transport market 2001 Rebalancing modes to fight capacity constraints (modal shift) 2006 Optimisation of all modes (co-modality) 2011 Putting transport in the wider EU 2020 perspective (full modal integration): An agenda for promoting growth and jobs through greater resource efficiency Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 2

3 Old challenges remain but new have come Increasing competitive pressure in the global economy Increasing oil price and persistent oil dependency A deteriorating climate and local environment Growing congestion and poorer accessibility. An infrastructure gap in the enlarged EU Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 3

4 Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient transport: benchmarks to 60% GHG reduction New and sustainable fuels and propulsion systems Halve the use of conventionally-fuelled cars in urban transport by 2030; phase them out in cities by 2050; achieve essentially CO2-free city logistics by % of low-carbon sustainable fuels in aviation and 40% (if feasible 50%) less emissions in maritime by 2050 Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 4

5 Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient transport: benchmarks to 60% GHG reduction Optimising the performance of multimodal logistic chains, including by making greater use of more energy-efficient modes 30% of road freight over 300 km should shift to other modes by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050 Triple the length of the existing high-speed rail network. By 2050 the majority of mediumdistance passenger transport should go by rail A fully functional and EU-wide multimodal TEN-T core network by 2030 By 2050, connect all core network airports to the rail network; all seaports to the rail freight and, where possible, inland waterway system Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 5

6 Ten Goals for competitive and resource efficient transport: benchmarks to 60% GHG reduction Increasing the efficiency of transport and of infrastructure use with information systems and market-based incentives Deployment of SESAR by 2020 and completion of the European Common Aviation Area. Deployment of ERTMS, ITS, SSN and LRI, RIS and Galileo By 2020, establish the framework for a European multimodal transport information, management and payment system 2050, move close to zero fatalities in road transport Move towards full application of user pays and polluter pays principles Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 6

7 How to do it 4 i s and 40 actions nternal market: Create a genuine Single European Transport Area by eliminating all all residual barriers between modes and national systems. nnovation: EU research needs to to address the full cycle of of research, innovation and deployment in in an integrated way. nfrastructure: nternational: EU transport infrastructure policy needs a common vision and sufficient resources. The costs of of transport should be reflected in in its its price in in an undistorted way. Opening up third country markets in in transport services, products and investments continues to to have high priority.

8 . The. Joint There Strategic Transport Technology Plan. The White Paper s goals will not be met without innovative technology ( technology seen holistically) effort involving all stakeholders is a need for a long-term perspective: far beyond new Horizon 2020 programme look at full innovation cycle (from research to deployment) STTP launches a Europe-wide process to: better specify transport research and innovation needs, including the needs identified in the White Paper focus research and innovation activities in the current economic climate towards policy and deployment improve coordination and cooperation Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 8

9 The STTP process to date Stakeholders input: Industry/stakeholder hearings, meetings with MS (FP7 Transport Programme Committee), public consultation on the internet, stakeholder workshop Scientific input: Extensive work by the Joint Research Centre, scientific panel, input from policy and research colleagues at EC Capacities Map of transport R&D in Europe Scientific Assessment of key transport technologies Research and Innovation Areas STTP Communication (and staff working docs) Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 9

10 Selected preliminary findings.transport sector is the largest corporate investor in research and development in Europe ( 39 bn in 2008) but new challenges put competitiveness under threat..the public sector invested some 4 bn in 2008.Whereas parts of the transport sector are highly innovative, others fall behind causing poor take-up and deployment of new solutions on the market..the modally organised industry does not allow moving to a truly connected and user-oriented single European transport area. We need new forms of partnering looking at the system as a whole. Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 10

11 The STTP approach.first stage (tbc) Communication from the Commission Justification for action Three staff working documents Initial research and innovation area descriptions Map of research and development capacities in Europe (JRC) Independent scientific assessment of state of the art and prospects of transport technologies (JRC) Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 11

12 The STTP approach.second stage (tbc) Communication from the Commission Detailed roadmaps for research and innovation areas, to be developed with stakeholder involvement Estimation of funding needs and identification of sources (including at EU level) Proposed arrangements for implementation (including role industry, Member States, EC) Next steps Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 12

13 The STTP approach.initial research and innovation areas (tbc) R & I area: Clean, efficient, safe and smart transport means Road vehicles Aircraft Vessels Rail vehicles R & I area: Infrastructure and smart systems Smart, low-maintenance and climate resilient infrastructure Alternative fuel distribution infrastructure Modal traffic management systems Capacity and demand management R & I area: Transport services and operations (pass. & freight) Integrated cross-modal information and management systems Seamless logistics Integrated and innovative urban mobility and transport Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 13

14 Implementation instruments.different variables Short term long term Financial non financial R & I deployment.horizon 2020 Resource efficient transport that respects the environment Better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security Global leadership for the European transport industry Strategic Transport Technology Plan in the context of the new White Paper on Transport 14
