Clean Power for Transport (CPT)
To fulfil climate, air quality and energy targets, we need to make mobility greener. In doing so, we need to focus not only on making current mobility solutions greener, but also on shifting to more environmentally friendly forms of transport. Thus, the Clean Power for Transport policy ambitions and corresponding actions focuses on greening the vehicle fleet across all segments and rolling out the necessary infrastructure.
Objectives
The Clean Power for Transport policy actions aims to achieve the green transition in mobility based on the following objectives:
- Stap 1
Stimulating supply and demand in the zero-emission vehicle market, including second-hand vehicles
- Stap 2
Deployment of charging infrastructure
- Stap 3
Revision of fiscal incentives
- Stap 4
Leveraging the efficiency of light electric vehicles
- Stap 5
Turning niche and corporate fleets into zero-emissions leaders
- Stap 6
Committing to battery-electric vehicles for freight transport
- Stap 7
Getting support from the private sector and knowledge institutions
- Stap 8
Working with cities, towns, other regions and countries in Europe
Looking forward to 2030, the Clean Power for Transport ambitions are:
By 2030, 70% of newly registered passenger cars are zero-emission;
By 2030, 36% of newly registered light-duty vehicles are zero-emission;
By 2030, 28% of newly registered heavy-duty vehicles are zero-emission;
By 2035, in line with European policies, 100% of newly registered passenger cars and light-duty vehicles are zero-emission;
- By 2035 at the latest, all buses in Flanders will run emission-free.
European partnerships
Flanders is part of several European projects around green mobility. With the RH2INE and CONDOR H2 projects for example, we are working on greening inland and maritime shipping respectively. The PIONEERS project aims to develop a European master plan to enable climate-neutral shipping and other multimodal transport by 2050. Within IDACS, we laid the basis for the obligations in terms of data exchanges for AFIR, together with 15 partner countries. Within BENEFIC, we were first in the EU to coordinate a cross-border grant scheme to effectively roll out alternative fuels infrastructure in Flanders, Brussels and the Netherlands.
Help build a clean future
We are on the right track, but there is still a lot of work to do in order to make our mobility entirely green, including
around public transport and freight. We are therefore interested in cross-border projects that would allow us to address these challenges together. Equally, we want to share our own knowledge, in order to arrive at the best possible solutions internationally.
