Paragraph 6
6. CUnderlines that low- and zero- emission city buses could help to significantly reduce pollutant emissions in urban areas; therefore calls for the introduction of low- emissions and zero- emission city buses through mandatory green public procurement targetgreen public procurement schemes and calls on the Commission and Member States to facilitate and promote the use of available EU funds, such as the European Structural and Investment Fund, to support corresponding measures;
Amendment 138 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Stresses that the use of low- and zero-emission light-duty commercial vehicles in last mile logistics reduces CO2- emissions in general as well as local pollutant emissions in particular and therefore makes a positive contribution to urban air quality; therefore stresses the need for relevant infrastructure at logistics hubs;
Amendment 142 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6b. Stresses the potential of innovative technologies such as automated driving and "platooning" (grouping divers vehicles) in road freight transport, as it allows better use of slipstream and thereby reduces fuel consumption and emissions; calls for further support for research and development in that area, notably for necessary digital infrastructure and calls for a coherent legislative framework on EU level;
Amendment 147 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Calls for a more comprehensive and coordinated system of type-approval and market surveillance on the basis of clearly defined rules and a clearer distribution of responsibilities, involving EU oversight, in order to address the failures identified in the aftermath of Dieselgate and to ensure the full, homogenous and efficient implementation of the new type-approval and market surveillance framework;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 18 a (new)
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18a.
