DESCRIPTION

Transportation is an area with high growth potential and it is a key sector to boost jobs and innovation; it must remain a top priority for national and European policy‐makers. Following the European elections, policy‐makers must continue to dedicate sufficient time and resources to improving citizens’ daily mobility once they take up their new mandate.

FIA Region I urges EU policy-makers to prioritise mobility in the new mandate. Transportation is an area with high growth potential and it is a key sector to boost jobs and innovation; it must remain a top priority for national and European policy‐makers.  Following the European elections, policy‐makers must continue to dedicate sufficient time and resources to improving citizens’ daily mobility once they take up their new mandate.   A  concerted effort needs  to be made  in  the areas of driving  future mobility,  increasing  road  safety and supporting affordability.  

Driving future mobility  To deliver  its  full potential,  connected vehicle  technology  requires a  large network of vehicles equipped with interoperable, communication systems. The European Parliament should make sure future legislation on ITS solutions will give priority to aspects of deployment, especially by way of a secure, standardised and open  in‐vehicle  telematics platform. Keeping users  in mind, decision‐makers  should  commit  to ensuring three key principles about car connectivity: full user knowledge about what data  is being used, by whom and for what purpose; freedom of choice between service providers for repair and maintenance and future additional services; and non‐discriminatory access to vehicle data for independent operators. 

 Consumers often lack accessible and consistent information on the capabilities and benefits of alternatively fuelled vehicles and this can be a major barrier for uptake of new technologies, such as electric or hydrogen fuelled vehicles. Policymakers have a  role  to play  in ensuring a progressive  roll out of  the  technologies, which will foster sustainable mobility.
