EPRS identifies and frames some of the top key issues that might feature prominently in public debate and on the political agenda of the European Union this year. In times of crises and war, what are the challenges we must face and choices we have to make? Restrictions: ©The material may not be edited and must be shown entirely.

EPRS - How will increasing fuel prices impact transport?

There are around 7 million trucks operating in the EU-28. Annual registrations of new trucks in the EU increased by 45 % from 2010 to 2016, to around 380 000. Around 70 % of EU freight is transported by road. The road freight and passenger transport sector consists of over 600 000 mostly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and employs almost 3 million people. Heavy-duty vehicles are responsible for 27 % of road transport CO2 emissions and almost 5 % of EU greenhouse gas emissions (2016 data). Since 1990, heavy-duty vehicle emissions have increased by 25 % – mainly as a result of an increase in road freight traffic – and, in the absence of new policies, they are projected to further increase. EU transport is heavily dependent on oil (accounting for nearly 94 % of the energy consumed by transport in 2015, of which 89 % is imported).

EPRS - CO₂ emissions for new heavy-duty vehicles

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.

European Parliament adopted the upgraded Connecting Europe Facility programme worth €30 billion from 2021 to 2027, which will fund transport, energy and digital projects and ensure that essential Trans-European projects are finished on schedule by 2030.

Connecting Europe: extracts from the joint debate (06/07)

In order to achieve the ambitious goals of the Union to reduce the CO2 emissions, it will be important to unleash the full potential of the inland waterway transport. Members of the EP Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) meet in Brussels to vote on Towards Future-proof Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) in Europe. Statement by Caroline NAGTEGAAL (Renew, NL), rapporteur.
