Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy
The European Commission’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy outlines a green and digital transformation of the transportation system in the European Union. The result will be a 90% cut in emissions by 2050.
The target is to make nearly all cars, vans, buses, and new heavy-duty vehicles emission-free by 2050. Rail freight traffic is seen doubling in parallel to the development of a fully operational, multimodal Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) for sustainable and smart transport with high-speed connectivity.
Milestones for a smart & sustainable future
All transport modes need to 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 2035
- 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.
