European Green Vehicles initiative – innovation through cPPP

• Future challenges in the transport area (e.g decarbonisation) can only be solved by adopting a system approach including infrastructure and energy supply.

• The cPPP tool is of great added-value in fostering innovation and tackling societal

challenges.

• A coherent and stable policy framework is needed to support investments and guarantee favourable conditions to the market deployment of innovation (e.g common charging infrastructures for EVs, legal framework for automated vehicles).

• In a globalised context, the support to innovation is also coming from the definition

of standards and regulations at international level.
