Using electric vehicles offers a number of major benefits for sustainable mobility. We can mention among them: the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and improvement of air quality, the reduction in dependence on imported fossil fuels and electric cars’ increased efficiency compared to the other transport technologies.
On a global scale, the EU’s competitors are investing in the research and development of new technologies for reducing carbon emissions and are launching programmes supporting the transition to green road transport. In order to enable Europe’s car industry to retain its global competitiveness and to ensure it plays an important role in green technologies, the European Union must create a suitable framework for promoting innovative technologies, encouraging research and developing the infrastructure required to support the transition to an efficient economy based on low carbon resources and emissions.
I support the European Commission’s measures on this and I welcome the publication of the plan aimed at promoting the establishment of a European network of rapid charging stations for electric cars by 2011, as well as common technical and safety standards to apply to it."@en1
