1 European Strategy on low emission mobility DG MOVE Isabelle Vandoorne, deputy Head of Unit

2 Impact of transport (1/3) is economically important both as: i) individual sector and ii) a foundation for economic growth across sectors

3 Impact of transport (2/3) as an employer: 10 million workers directly employed, across the EU

4 Impact of transport (3/3) All modes contributing to the flows of physical goods in and out of Europe No transport, no trade!

5 Global carbon emissions - CO2 concentration (ppm)

6 Evolution of GHG emissions by sector (1990=100), EU28

7 Relative share of modes

8

9 The Low Emission Strategy (July 2016) 1. Increasing the efficiency of the transport system by making the most of digital technologies, smart pricing and further encouraging the shift to lower emission transport modes, 2. Speeding up the deployment of low-emission alternative energy for transport, such as advanced biofuels, renewable electricity and renewable synthetic fuels and removing obstacles to the electrification of transport 3. Moving towards zero-emission vehicles. While further improvements to the internal combustion engine will be needed, Europe needs to accelerate the transition towards low- and zero-emission vehicles/ Cities and local authorities are crucial for the delivery of this strategy. Finally, this Strategy reiterates Europe's commitment in pursuing global efforts to control emissions from international aviation and maritime transport.

10 Tackling Global Emissions Two main arenas: ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and IMO (International Maritime Organization)

11 Dimensions of the Strategy Higher Efficiency of the System Alternative Energy for Low and Zero- Emission Vehicles Digitalisation Door-to-door mobility, integrated logistics, new mobility services, comprehensive travel information Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility Production/Use Incentives to innovate, effective solutions for all modes of transport Revision of legislation on fuels and renewable energy Confidence Trustworthy emissions testing and standards New type approval framework, more stringent test procedure Price Signals Internalization of external costs, user and polluter pay Framework for road charging and electronic tolling systems Infrastructure Availability of infrastructure, common standards and consumer information EU/MS policy framework, financing, stakeholder platforms Standards Post-2020 standards for cars and vans Certifying/monitoring heavy duty vehicle emissions, analytical work on options for standards Multimodality Multimodal integration, incentivize shift to lower emission modes Rail freight corridors, combined transport Electromobility Removing barriers (interoperability, real-time information) Linking the transport and energy systems Consumers Consumer information through car labelling Support through public procurement rules

12 Delivering Commission proposals Clean Energy for all Europeans package in November 2016 the first Mobility Package in May 2017 the second Mobility Package in November 2017 the third Mobility package expected in Spring 2018 The European Economic and Social Committee, Committee of Regions and the European Parliament have adopted Opinions that have been largely supportive of the Strategy. Most measures of the 1 st and 2 nd Mobility packages are in the earlier stages of consideration in Council and EP.

13 Nov 2017 New CO2 standards Battery Initiative Revision of Clean Vehicles Directive Clean Mobility Package Directive on Passenger Coach Services Action plan and investment solutions for the trans-european deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure Revision of Combined Directive

14 The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive 2014/94/EU Requires a minimum infrastructure to be implemented through national policy frameworks for: Electricity: publicly accessible recharging points to be built by 2020 to allow the circulation of EVs Union-wide, both in urban and sub-urban areas, as well as by 2025 on the TEN-T Core Network. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): publicly accessible refuelling points to allow the circulation of CNG vehicles Union-wide, both in urban and sub-urban areas, by 2020, as well as on the TEN-T Core Network, by 2025; Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): publicly accessible Natural gas/bio-methane refuelling points for road vehicles and ships/vessels, with common standards, on the TEN-T Core Network; Hydrogen: sufficient number of publicly accessible refuelling points, with common standards, in the Member States who opt for hydrogen infrastructure. Member States national policy frameworks have been assessed; 26 National Policy Frameworks have been submitted so far

15 Requirements under Directive 2014/94 Alternative fuel Coverage Timing Electricity in urban/suburban and other densely populated areas CNG in urban/suburban and other densely populated areas Appropriate number of publicly accessible points Appropriate number of points by end 2020 by end 2020 CNG along the TEN-T core network Electricity at shore-side Hydrogen in the Member States who choose to develop it LNG at maritime ports LNG at inland ports LNG for heavy-duty vehicles Appropriate number of points Ports of the TEN-T core network and other ports Appropriate number of points Ports of the TEN-T core network Ports of the TEN-T core network Appropriate number of points along the TEN-T core network by end 2025 by end 2025 by end 2025 by end 2025 by end 2030 by end 2025

16 Action Plan on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (COM (2017) 652 final) Reporting on implementation of Directive 2014/94 assessment of National Policy Frameworks Action at EU level to complement and better implement NPFs: Collaboration (TEN-T, urban) Investment support (CEF) Inter-operability of services Integration of transport and energy systems Facilitating policy dialogue: Roadshow in Member States Annual conference on clean transport Sustainable Forum 16

17 Policy Support Action Collaboration: Flagship actions on TEN-T core network Enabling actions in urban areas Investment support: Focus areas AFI Action Plan Horizon 2020: R&D support eg EU Green Vehicles Initiative, Hydro-JU CF+ERDF: 12 billion for low-carbon, multimodal, sustainable urban mobility 1st CEF Blending call: EUR 150mio for AFI along TEN-T 2 nd CEF Blending call: EUR 350mio for AFI in urban nodes along TEN-T Redeployment of up to EUR 450mio of NER300 funds Illustrates importance given to AFI roll-out by EC 14

18 Clean Bus Deployment Initiative Need to support zero-emission transportation as the most effective and efficient form of public mobility in our regions and cities. "Declaration of intent on promoting large-scale deployment of clean, alternatively fuelled buses in Europe" launched July 2017: signatories committed to make the transition to clean, alternatively fuelled future happen

19 Inland Waterways

20 Inland Waterways Small, but important mode for the EU. Inland navigation is: Energy efficient: a typical pushed convoy of 4 barges in the Rhine or Danube equals the capacity of 440 trucks on the road; Low noise, by nature important in portscities; Low CO2 emissions compared to road; companies in Europe, many of which are SMEs. The sector creates over jobs in freight and passenger transport.

21 Interest of EU policy in IWW: EU Inland Waterway Policy Green transport mode that contributes to the goals of the EU low emission mobility strategy With the potential to support quality jobs occupied by a skilled workforce, contribute to sustainable economic growth and revitalize cities and regions With low noise levels that make it convenient for freight transport in the densely populated areas they transit in and service To invest in IWT is to invest in the environmental recovery of rivers, prevention of flooding and natural disaster and quality of life of citizens

22 EU Inland Waterways in TEN-T Corridors Corridor Work Plan updated in June 2016 (next update in 2018) Improving compliance with certain TEN- T requirements, mostly for rail and IWT Promote innovative solutions (RIS, ITS, deployment of LNG infrastructure) Finally, maintain existing infrastructure in good condition, in particular road and inland waterways Approx. 1150m of CEF funding for inland waterways during

23 NAIADES: EU Inland Navigation Policy NAIADES II ( ) A high-quality transport mode (Implementation report in 2018) Infrastructure Innovation Smooth functioning of the market Environmental performance through low emissions Skilled workforce and quality jobs Integration into the multimodal logistics chain Digital Inland Navigation Area (DINA) A new European IWT governance

24 International Governance Several bodies in Europe with overlapping competences: CCNR (Rhine) Danube Commission (and navigable tributaries) UN-ECE European Union Creation of CESNI (Comité Européen pour des Standards en Navigation Intérieure) Major shift in governance, already enshrined in two EU directives Technical requirements for vessels adopted 2016 Professional qualifications to be adopted by the end of 2017 Fruit of excellent cooperation between European Commission, CCNR and other river commissions over the past few years Enormous potential for integration and simplification

25 Digital Inland Waterway Area Digital Inland Waterway Area (DINA) intends to interconnect information on infrastructure, people, operations, fleet and cargo in the inland waterway transport sector and to connect this information with other transport modes. 1. More efficient navigation and traffic management 2. Integration in logistics processes 3. Reducing the administrative burden

26 Governance model Digital Single Market UN-ECE, CCNR, the Danube, Sava and Mosel Commissions, CESNI NAIADES IWT overall strategy E-government DINA digital strategy for IWT OPERATIONS, LOGISTICS, COMPLIANCE EU Hull DB RIS interoperability, harmonised provision of data, 4 key techn. eiwt digital tools for IWT CREW + VESSELS

27

28 Key thematic areas Digitalisation with focus on the electronic transport documents proposal, digital corridor information systems and multimodal travel information and ticketing; The use of economic incentives to promote multimodality through e.g. the revision of the Combined Directive and a new study on the internalisation of external costs; Support to multimodal infrastructure and innovation, physical and digital, in particular in the context of the Connecting Europe Facility, Horizon 2020 and the preparation of the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and the new Framework Programme for research and innovation (FP9); Working towards a legislative framework to protect passenger rights in multimodal journeys; The promotion of 'active mobility' integrated with other modes in particular in an urban and smart cities context.
