A Sustainable Transport System calls for :

3.Economic and industrial development

1.Environment preservation and social responsibility

2.Continuously

improving quality of life

4.Security of energy supply

A Sustainable Transport System calls for:

1.Environment preservation and social responsibilityGuard against climate changeEliminate chemical and biological harmful effects on environmentLand use and urban development

2. Continuously improving quality of lifeMobility of peopleSafety and security of travellersQuality of air and waterNoise abatement

3.Economic and industrial developmentEconomically affordable transportation of goodsIndustrial activity created by both transport supply and transport operations that matches transport demand Development of skills

4.Security of energy supplyUptake of renewable fuelsCompatible fuelling infrastructureNew engine and storage technologies

A Sustainable Transport System calls for:

I. Developing environmentally friendly transport systems and I. Developing environmentally friendly transport systems and means of transportmeans of transport

Objective 1. New technologies and concepts for all surface transport modes (road, rail and waterborne)Objective 2. Advanced design and production techniques

II Making surface transport safer, more effective and more II Making surface transport safer, more effective and more competitive competitive

Objective 3. Re-balancing and integrating different modes of transportObjective 4. Increasing road, rail and waterborne safety and avoiding traffic congestion

Priority 6.2 Sustainable surface transport

The Work Programme addresses the entire set of issues through 4 inter-linked elements:

1. Advanced vehicle/vessel and infrastructure concepts

2. Standardised design and manufacturing systems

3. An Integrated Transport System aiming to:promote modal shift to cleaner and safer

transport meansincrease safety and capacity of infrastructure

4. A collaborative research system assured by theEuropean Research Area (ERA)

Educating road users

Gradually break the link between growth of transport and economic growth, principally in three ways:

• Re-balance of transport modes• Eliminate bottlenecks• Place users at the heart of transport policy

Objectives of the White Paper

Objective I.1: New technologies and concepts for vehicles/vessels and infrastructure

•Objectives:·Maintain or even improve the quality and efficiency of transport mobility·Put on course the transition towards an environmentally caring transport system based on renewable fuels (20% fuel substitution by 2020)

•Focus:·To smooth the transition from present situation towards an eco-friendly transport system (KYOTO, EURO V)·To link research on vehicles with long term prospects

on energy supply
