(11a) To achieve the necessary transition, it is essential to set up accompanying measures targeting the most affected actors in the automotive value chain across the EU, focusing on small and medium sized suppliers. To accompany the implementation of the updated CO2emissions reduction targets, a dedicated transition fund for the automotive sector should be created to help mitigate the negative effects on employment and local economies

(12) The updated New Industrial Strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. In this context, a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The pathway should take particular heed of SMEs in the automotive supply chain, of the consultation of social partners including by Member States, and also build on the European Skills Agenda with initiatives like the Pact for Skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill Europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. The appropriate actions and incentives at European and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. The progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the Commission, looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero- emission vehicles, their price developments, deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll- out as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility, international competitiveness, investments in the automotive value chain, up-skilling and re- skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. The progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that Member States submit under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. The Commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report, including the results in the social dialogue. Innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. Innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture, if further developed, could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. The Commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report. Vehicle procurement rules are an important lever to accompany the transition pathway and can complement manufacturer’s emissions reduction efforts. In particular, the role that procurement of vehicles used for corporate fleets can play should be addressed. Corporate fleets account for more than 60% of new vehicle sales in the EU annually. Setting electrification objectives for the corporate vehicle segment will help secure demand for electric vehicles and boost the second- hand electric vehicle market, which in turn will contribute to more affordable electromobility for every European citizen. In this regard, Member states should take all necessary measures to ensure that vehicles owned or leased by private companies are zero-emissions by2030. _________________ 26 Commission Communication - Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy: Building a stronger Single Market for Europe’s recovery, COM(2021) 350 final of 5 May 2021

(13a) Whereas there are more than one billion fossil fuel vehicles globally, responsible for more than 30% of global CO2 emissions, the conversion of thermal vehicles to electric is a complementary solution to the offer of traditional manufacturers, making it possible to accelerate the ecological transition while relying on the circular economy;
