The European Commission’s Communication on Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy outlines the European Union’s vision and plan to transform its transport system to be more sustainable, smart, and resilient. It sets a goal to achieve a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, contributing to the EU’s goal of climate neutrality. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for a shift towards zero-emission vehicles, renewable energy, and digitalization to make transport more efficient and sustainable. Furthermore, it promotes topics, such as digital technologies and innovation, and inclusivity and accessibility of the transport system.

Communication states that the successful implementation of the strategy requires collaboration between the EU, member states, regional and local authorities, and the private sector, so it calls for coordinated efforts and investments to achieve its ambitious goals.
