9 Amendments of Markus FERBER related to 2018/2023(INI)
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas the decarbonisation of transport will improve air quality and strengthen Europe’s energy security and independence vis-à-vis imported energy and fossil fuels, and will therefore require a swift and substantial change in the type of energy, fuels and powertrains used, as well as an increase in energy efficiency, by deploying the most efficient technologies and changing mobility behaviour;
Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas, in order to keep the increase in the global temperature to well below 2°C while pursuing the 1.5°C target as signed up to in the Paris Agreement, road transport needs to be fully decarbonised with zero net emissions by 2050 at the latest; whereas a shift to alternative fuels can help achieve this, although conventional fuels will still be needed for the foreseeable future, until such time as demand can be met in full by alternative fuels;
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas switching to alternative fuels and powertrains on a long-term basis is the best means to decarbonise the existing and future vehicle fleet; whereas the overall effect will be even greater when combined with increased vehicle efficiency, use of public transport and bikes, the development of shared mobility and improvements to the overall efficiency of transport systems through C-ITS systems and automation and digitalisation technology; whereas urban and spatial planning can support and complement the technological efforts;
Amendment 37 #

Recital J
Recital J
Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital K
Recital K
K. whereas the energy and transport sectors need to be coupled more closely together in order to allow for deep decarbonisation in mobility; whereas two energy carriers –such as electricity and hydrogen – allow for zero-emission mobility while integrating renewable energy sources (RES); whereas with the energy sector progressively shifting towards using RES only, storage for excess energy in periods of low demand has to be provided; whereas Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) can contribute to that end;
Amendment 46 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital M
Recital M
M. whereas the TEN-T networks constitute the main transport networks in the European Union; whereas focussing on deploying alternative fuels infrastructure and pursuing the goal established in the communication to provide full coverage of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) core network corridors with charging points by 2025 should be a key priority; whereas this target should be complemented by also taking into account urban and rural areas; whereas, at the same time, particular consideration must be given to conditions in rural areas, where the deployment of such infrastructure can often be difficult for structural and economic reasons;
Amendment 59 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the Commission’s evaluation of the National Framework Plans (NFPs) reveals differing levels of effort and ambition between Member States and that the deployment of alternative fuels is falling short; calls therefore on the Commission to replace NFPs with mandatory objectives such as those put forward in the 2013 proposaland proportionate objectives, while also taking into account the projected and realised uptake of alternative-fuel vehicles and their technological progress, as well as the goal of having a trans- European infrastructure network for all alternative fuels; urges the Commission, however, in setting such objectives, to allow the Member States to determine how best to fulfil them;
Amendment 80 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Calls on the Commission to adopt a technology neutral approach in deploying an alternative energy infrastructure, so as not to hamper progress in this field and to create a level playing field between the differentall alternative fuels, thus making hydrogen infrastructure mandatory with deployment requirements equal to those for CNG, but adjusting these deployment requirements in accordance with their contribution to decarbonisation;
Amendment 119 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Regrets that progress regarding the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure and the availability of alternatively powered vehicles is too slow, and calls on manufacturers to step up efforts in this regard; recognizes at the same time that this requires greater public and, above all, private investment and calls on the Commission and the Member States to provide the necessary incentives;
