(5) Innovation of new technologies helps to lower vehicle emissions, supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector. An increased uptake of low- and zero-emission road vehicles is likely to reduce emissions of CO2 and certain pollutant emissions (particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons) and to promote competitiveness and growth of the European industry in the increasing glob. Such pollutants have been linked to numerous lung diseases and more than 400.000 premature deaths in Europe and generate health costs of between 330 billion euro and 940 billion euro, equivalent to 3 % to 9 % of the Union’s GDP. In order to reduce air and noise pollution and meet the EU Air Quality standards in urban and rural markets for low- and zero-eas, concrete and ambitious policies and measures, including the use of public procurement of clean emission vehicles, are needed.

(5a) An increasing penetration of clean vehicles also entails a reduction of oil demand and hence reduced fuel import costs as well as increased security of supply. The transport sector accounts for two-thirds of the Union’s final demand for oil and petroleum products of which 88% are imported, from mostly instable regions. Energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources are key to achieving sustainable mobility. A switch to electric vehicles powered fully by renewable electricity implies significant energy efficiency gains. In comparison with conventional cars, electric vehicles are 2.5 times more efficient.

(5b) Market forecasts estimate that clean vehicles, such as fully electric cars, will drop in price substantially and become highly competitive and even cheaper to run than conventional vehicles in the 2020s, in particular when taking into account the total cost of ownership, due to reduced cost of batteries but also other cost reductions that will transpire as a result of lower fuel costs and lower maintenance costs associated with running an electric vehicle.

(5c) The procurement of clean and energy-efficient vehicles can leverage the development of the infrastructure necessary for the smart charging of electric vehicles. Combining requirements for electro-mobility concerning the pre- equipment of parking spaces and the installation of charging points, as required by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive [as amended by COM(2016)0765], with requirements for the procurement of ultra-low emission vehicles, is an effective way to promote electric vehicles while allowing further developments at reduced costs in the medium to long-term as well as increasing consumer acceptance.

(5e) The European battery market will be worth EUR 250 billion annually from 2025, as European battery cell demand is expected to amount to 200 GWh and could create 4-5 million new jobs in Europe. However, the lack of a domestic cell manufacturing base jeopardises the position of EU industrial customers. In order to overcome this competitive disadvantage and to establish a competitive battery cell manufacturing value chain in Europe centred on sustainable and responsible supply of raw materials, renewable energy based production process, recyclability and second use, European institutions, Member States and local authorities need to act fast and collectively.

Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) Under the current Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the Union possesses an array of different funds to support Member States, local authorities and concerned operators in their transition to sustainable mobility. Over the 2014-2020 period the Union has earmarked EUR 13.7 billion from the European Structural and Investment Funds for financing urban mobility. Horizon 2020, the Union's research programme, will provide around EUR 200 million for urban mobility and EUR 650 million for smart cities, and the Connecting Europe Facility will devote around EUR 200 million for calls for proposals for urban nodes. Under the next MFF, the Commission and the Member States should continue to support sustainable urban mobility projects and strengthen necessary synergies between the various funding sources and programmes. In particular, links between urban mobility, the new Digital Agenda and the Energy Union need to be reinforced, such as the possibility for the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) to finance synergy projects with an extra co- financing rate for transport projects with energy and telecommunications elements entailing enormous potential for urban projects.

Recital 16 b (new)
(16b) In addition to supporting the uptake of clean vehicles, public procurements are drivers of new forms of mobility. While clean vehicles will be incentivised and lead to accelerated infrastructure deployment in urban areas, digitalisation will optimise passenger and freight transport efficiency. Multimodal and shared mobility, as well as integrated ticketing solutions are instrumental in the transition to Mobility as a Service.

(19a) Enhanced environmental audits and tests should be envisaged, encouraging local authorities to purchase, rent and lease such energy-efficient road transport vehicles. For this purpose it would be appropriate to develop EU financial mechanisms to assist with the implementation of the requirements of this Directive.
