CARS 2020 – the main aims

Date: 13th November 2012 Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0

Following the tabling of the European Commission’s CARS 2020 Action Plan to aid the European automobile manufacturing industry, there are a number of concrete proposals that are likely to affect the industry. According to the details, which we summarise here, the commission and member states must now implement the policies announced. In order to monitor this process, and continue the dialogue with the stakeholders a dedicated process will be established called "CARS 2020".

The Action Plan comprises concrete proposals for policy initiatives in order to:

1. Promote investment in advanced technologies and innovation for clean vehicles, for example by:

• a comprehensive package of measures tackling CO2, pollutant and noise emissions reduction

• pursuing road safety measures, including Intelligent Transport Systems

• the deployment of infrastructure for alternative fuels (electricity, hydrogen and natural gas)

• an EU standard for the recharging interface for electric vehicles

• a European Green Vehicles Initiative under Horizon 2020 to promote investment in research and innovation.

2. Improve market conditions, for example by:

• strengthening the Single Market for vehicles through an improved type-approval system, including market surveillance, to avoid unfair competition.

• streamlining of financial incentives for clean vehicles.

• consistent application of the smart regulation principles, including the application of competitiveness proofing for major policy initiatives to estimate the specific impact of major policy initiatives on the automotive industry.

3. Support industry in accessing the global market through:

• the conclusion of balanced trade deals, careful evaluation of the cumulative impacts of these trade deals as well as promotion and continuation of bilateral dialogues with major third country partners, and

• intensifying the work on international harmonisation of vehicle regulations with the ultimate aim of achieving an international car type approval and global safety requirements for electric vehicles and their batteries.

4. Promote investment in skills and training to accompany structural change and anticipate employment and skills needs, for example through encouraging the use of the European Social Fund (ESF) for this purpose.
