The Environment Committee (ENVI) of the European Parliament has voted on various suggested amendments in a report on the Future of Transport, to which NGVA Europe was contributing as a stakeholder. During the meeting the majority of the ENVI Committee members also voted in favour of Amendment ‘32’, which…
“Urges the Commission and the Member States to identify the drivers for and barriers to possible innovation resulting from R&D and to priorities investment in environmentally friendly infrastructure, for example smart grids for electric transport, natural gas/biomethane from renewable energies and hydrogen distribution networks. Urges the Commission not to neglect the influence of in-vehicle technologies on driver behaviour as a potential contribution to the reduction of fuel consumption/CO2 emissions.”
NGVA Europe reports that the adopted text above (italicised) received its support.
NGVA Europe’s views on the Commission’s Communication, entitled “A sustainable future for transport: Towards an integrated, Technology-led and user friendly system”, were expressed in the Position Paper from 30th September 2009 (can be seen here).
