(3) The European Strategy for Low- Emission Mobility16 sets a clear ambition: by mid-century, greenhouse gas emissions from transport will need to be at least 60% lower than in 1990 and be firmly on the path towards zero. Emissions of air pollutants from transport that harm our health need to be drastically reduced without delay. Emissions from conventional combustion engines will need to further reduce after 2020. Zero- and low emission vehicles will need to be deployed and gain significant market share by 2030, bearing in mind also policies in support of the automotive industry. Ambitions must be kept to a realistic level in order to allow the car industry to adapt and so as not to increase costs for carmakers, which would discourage the manufacture and purchase of new passenger cars in the EU and impact, amongst other things, on employment. Similarly, if over-ambitious targets are proposed and transport emissions are not reduced sufficiently, this could engender a risk of not achieving the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set under the Paris Agreement. _________________ 16 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions A European Strategy for Low-Emission Mobility (COM(2016) 501 final).

(15) A dedicated incentive mechanism should be introduced to facilitate a smooth and timely transition towards zero- emission mobility. This crediting mechanism should be designed so as to promote the deployment on the Union market of zero- and low- emission vehicles.
