The proposed revision of the CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles would expand the scope of the Regulation to include urban buses, coaches, trailers and other types of lorries. The average CO2 emissions of heavy-duty vehicles, compared to 2019 levels, would have to fall by 45 % from 2030, by 65 % from 2035, and by 90 % from 2040 onwards. The proposal sets CO2 requirements for new trailers and targets 100 % of newly registered urban buses to be zero-emissions vehicles from 2030. The incentive scheme for zero- and low-emission vehicles would end in 2029, but manufacturers would be allowed to take into account emission credits or emission debts also after 2029. This infoclip shows aerial and non-aerial footage of heavy lorries and buses.

On 9 December 2020, the European Commission put forward the Sustainable and smart mobility strategy to transform the EU transport system in line with the European Green Deal and the EU's Digital Strategy. The Commission pledges to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels by replacing existing fleets with low- and zero- emission vehicles and increasing the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels. Second, to increase the use of the less polluting modes and shift a substantial part of today’s inland freight carried by road (75%) onto rail and inland waterways.In Parliament, the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) is preparing an own-initiative report on the strategy, under the lead of Ismail Ertug (S&D, Germany). The footage shows congested roads, road transport, e-cars, e-buses, hydrogen trucks, high-speed train, cargo train, hydrogen train, inland waterways transport, conventional airplanes and animation of future hybrid-hydrogen airplanes.

Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in a future climate-neutral economy, enabling emission-free transport, heating and industrial processes as well as inter-seasonal energy storage. Renewable hydrogen can sustainably contribute to achieving climate neutrality in the EU in the long term. This infoclip illustrates an Hydrogen Hybrid Power Plant in Prenzlau, Brandenburg, the exploitation of Hydrogen trucks in Belgium and hydrogen trains in Germany.
