This infoclip illustrates the new directive to improve road safety and foster the EU’s green and digital transitions. Driving licences for motorcycles, cars and tractors will be valid for 15 years, and five years for trucks and buses, according to the draft rules. The file should also include mandatory health checks when a driving licence is issued or renewed. To support the EU’s single market, a digital driving licence will be introduced, available on a mobile phone and fully equivalent to the physical driver's licence. They also propose a two-year probationary period for novice drivers, who will face stricter penalties for unsafe driving and stringent alcohol limits while driving. This item shows extracts from driving licences, driving school cars, eye examination, traffic, citizens driving, trucks, tractors, campervans/RV, taxis, two-wheeled vehicles, police checking driving licences.

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.

Air pollution continues to be the number one environmental cause of early death in the EU with around 300 000 premature deaths per year, with the most harmful being particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), SO2 (sulphur dioxide) and O3 (ozone). The draft report by Javi LOPEZ (S&D, ES) on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe sets stricter 2030 limits relative to the Commission proposal to ensure that air quality in the EU is not harmful to human health, natural ecosystems and biodiversity. MEPs also want to increase the number of air quality sampling points and harmonise currently-fragmented air quality indices to provide better information to citizens. This infoclip illustrates air pollution, an air quality sampling station and tests for pulmonary capacity and airborne allergies.

"EU Road Safety Policy Framework 2021-2030" - This infoclip illustrates police controls, alcohool and drugs tests, motordrivers, pedestrians and bikers. It also illustrates traffic on highways and 30km/h signs.The Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted an own-initiative report by Elena KOUNTOURA (GUE/NGL, EL) on the EU road safety policy framework 2021-2030 - Recommendations on the next steps towards ‘Vision Zero’.Every year around 22 700 people still lose their lives on EU roads and around 120 000 are seriously injured. More than 11 800 children and youngsters up to the age of 17 have been killed in road traffic collisions in the EU over the last 10 years. Progress in reducing EU fatality rates has stagnated in recent years. The EU's long-term vision should therefore be to come as close as possible to ‘zero deaths’ on the roads by 2050 (Vision Zero).
