Translation of "Strategies for sustainable and smart mobility - European transport on the way to the future"

Sustainable and smart mobility strategy - European transport on the way to the future" is a strategic document of the European Union, which is an overview of the existing problems with mobility in European cities, their impact on the quality of life, the environment. In general, it is about reducing CO2 emissions and dependence from fossil fuels. The document was approved by the European Commission in Brussels on December 9, 2020. The strategy has a short- and long-term perspective. The planning horizon is up to 2050.
  • At least 30 million zero-emission cars and 80,000 zero-emission trucks will be in operation by 2030.
  • By 2050, almost all cars, vans, buses and new heavy vehicles will be zero-emission.
  • Zero-emission ocean liners and zero-emission large aircraft will be ready to enter the market by 2030 and 2035, respectively.

For example, the transition to stricter emission standards for vehicles with internal combustion engines (Euro 7) and the increase of electrified sections of railways. In general, the course towards sustainable mobility also involves considerable changes in infrastructure facilities, an increase in the share of rail transport, "greening" of freight transport, a transition to sustainable modes of transport, etc. The authors propose a comprehensive set of measures to put the EU on the path to creating a sustainable, smart and sustainable mobility system of the future and to implement fundamental changes to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal. The document itself consists of 9 short and meaningful sections. We believe that this document is important in the context of the future post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. The proposed Ukrainian edition is an unofficial translation of the original document , which was carried out by the efforts and at the initiative of the Ukrainian NGO "Vision Zero". We wanted it to become more accessible to a wider range of readers. Document: " Sustainable and smart mobility strategy - European transport on the way to the future"
