Briefing

Clean (2nd) Mobility Package

November 14, 2017

This briefing for MEPs ahead of the plenary debate on the Commission's 2nd Mobility Package provides details on the proposed car and van CO2 target for 2025 and 2030 and why these lack the necessary ambition

Specifically, the briefing focuses on:

  • Why there will be a slow down in emissions cuts after 2021
  • There is no ZEV mandate or penalty for failing to hit the goal
  • There is no effective means to prevent test manipulation such as a real world test

The briefing also provides information on the strengths and weaknesses of other elements of the package: the Clean Vehicles Directive and Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Action Plan and suggests areas of questioning for the Commission.
