CONSULTATION ON THE GREENING AND DIGITALISATION OF THE MOBILITY, TRANSPORT AND AUTOMOTIVE ECOSYSTEM

On 24 January, the European Commission opened a stakeholder consultation on the Staff Working Document “For a resilient, innovative, sustainable and digital mobility ecosystem: Scenarios for a transition pathway”, which focuses on the transition of the mobility ecosystem, covering automotive, waterborne and rail supply.

The Commission seeks feedback from stakeholders on how the mobility ecosystem can make the  green and digital transitions, while increasing their resilience. Stakeholders are particularly invited to help better define the costs, needs and conditions for this transition.

The Commission proposed to develop transition pathways in different ecosystems in the May 2021 Industrial Strategy Update, as part of efforts to accelerate the green and digital transformation of European industry. The Update was accompanied by the first Annual Single Market Report, which offers an analysis of the challenges faced by different industrial sectors and serves as a starting point for further analysis and preparation of the transition pathways, with the aim of developing transition pathways for all relevant ecosystems. The consultation on the transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem will last until 31 March 2022.
