The European Commission’s sustainable and smart mobility Strategy outlines the vision for transforming the EU transport system to be more sustainable, smart, and resilient. It aims to achieve a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, aligning with the European Green Deal.

The strategy envisions a transport system that is green, smart, and affordable by setting ambitious targets, including at least 30 million zero-emission cars on European roads by 2030 and nearly all vehicles being zero-emission by 2050. Moreover, it emphasizes the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote zero-emission vehicles. It also includes initiatives for automated and connected mobility, as well as the use of data to optimize transport systems, and encourages the use of high-speed rail, cleaner urban mobility, and better integration of different transport modes. 

The strategy includes an action plan with 82 initiatives across 10 key areas, known as “flagships,” to guide the implementation of its goals. In addition, it emphasizes  the need for continuous efforts and collaboration among EU member states, industries, and citizens to achieve the set goals. It aims to create a transport system that not only meets the needs of today but is also prepared for the challenges of the future.
