Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas mobility is a basic need and the backbone of our societies and economies, and should be clean, reliable and, affordable and safe in all respects; whereas, in this context, clean technologies offer huge opportunities and benefits for society, the automotive industry, energy suppliers, utilities, and grid operators;
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas switching to alternative fuels and powertrains is the best meansdefinitive way to decarbonise the existing and future vehicle fleet; whereas the overall effect will be even greater when combined with increased vehicle efficiency, use of public transport and bikes, the development of shared mobility and improvements to the overall efficiency of transport systems through C-ITS systems and automation and digitalisation technology; whereas urban and spatial planning can support and complement the technological efforts;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
Recital F
F. whereas the lack of binding targets for the sale of cleaner vehicles by car dealerships and the price disadvantages of alternative-fuel vehicles compared to regular internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are still one ofamong the main barriers to customers’ purchasing decisions; whereas, in this context, buyers’ premiums, tax exemptions and non-fiscal incentives have proven to accelerate market uptake and should reflect the GHG performance of different alternative fuels;
Amendment 35 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital I
Recital I
I. whereas 94 % of Europe’s transport sector is dependent on oil, 90 % of which has to be imported, including from some countries that are politically unstable countriesor openly at war;
Amendment 50 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital M a (new)
Recital M a (new)
Ma. whereas because road passenger transport serves areas that are more sparsely populated and less easy to access, it has a public service function, and is therefore a key part of the infrastructure and modernisation of each and every Member State;
Amendment 57 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the Commission’s evaluation of the National Framework Plans (NFPs) reveals differing levels of effort and ambition between Member States and that the deployment of alternative fuels is falling short; calls therefore on the Commission to replace NFPs with mandatory objectives such as those put forward in the 2013 proposal, while also taking into account the projected and realised uptake of alternative-fuel vehicles and their technological progress, as well as the goal of having a trans- European infrastructure network for all alternative fuels; emphasises the potential for symbiosis between the public and private sectors in bringing about a shift towards that infrastructure, and suggests that cooperation contracts or agreements should be facilitated for the construction of such infrastructure among public authorities, the energy industry, the car industry and large-scale retail management, hotels, airports, ports, railway stations, urban and suburban transport networks, sports stadiums, cultural venues, major hospitals and major supermarkets;
Amendment 72 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Suggests an annual evaluation of the Member States’ implementation status and a broadening of the Ddirective’s scope to shift it from deployment along the TEN-T network to also covering urban and regional nodes with air pollution above legal limits, areas that are more densely populated than average in each Member State, and the infrastructure for public fleets;
Amendment 101 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Suggests setting up a European Clean Mobility Fund to cover the estimated necessary investment of EUR 25 billion up to 2025; calls for the fund to be co- financed, with the European Union contributing 10 % and 90 % coming from industry, notably manufacturers, suppliers, energy and fuel producers, the managers of regular road passenger transport services and other interested parties; suggests that, by contributing to the fund, companies or consortia should be granted preferential access to grants and loans provided by the CEF, EIB and EC IPE; requests that financial resources from the fund should be awarded according to the criteria of feasibility, European added value, the achievement of deployment goals and cohesion policy; asks that the INEA, which already oversees the CEF, become the responsible agency;
Amendment 111 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Calls on Member States to review their energy taxation frameworks in order to facilitate and incentivise the uptake of alternative fuels and to remove burdensome taxation on electricity used to generate alternative fuels, including power-to-gas as storage for intermittentobtained from sources that are 100% renewable energies;
Amendment 116 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Regrets that progress regarding the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and the availability of alternatively powered vehicles is too slow, and calls on manufacturers to step up efforts in this regard; suggests that minimum binding targets be set for each Member State for annual sales of cars powered by electricity and alternative fuels obtained from 100% renewable sources over the next 15 years until a 100% ratio of motorised road vehicles is reached;
Amendment 122 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 a (new)
Paragraph 9 a (new)
9a. Suggests that the aim of moving towards transport infrastructure that is based on alternative fuels paves the way for experimentation in industrial planning at EU level, with a view to helping the car industry and the other industries associated with it adjust more quickly to tackle the challenges posed by global competition;
