(6b) The automotive industry represents over 7 % of EU GDP and provides direct and indirect jobs to 13.8 million Europeans, representing 6.1% of total EU employment1a. Given this context, the Commission has recognised mobility and automotive sector as one of the 14 industrial ecosystems in its New European Industrial Strategy. The Commission's Transition Pathway for the mobility and automotive sector should identify actions needed to achieve the green and digital transition and give a better understanding of the scale, needs, benefits and conditions required. This Transition Pathway should foresee targeted investment at EU and national level for the transformation of the sector, including the training and reskilling of workers. _________________ 1a https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/autom otive-industry_en

(8) In order toThe European Green Deal has set the goal of achieveing a reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990. Regarding the transport sector, the European Green Deal has set the target of a 90% reduction in transport emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council25 for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050. Without ambitious action on greenhouse gas emission reducThis pathway should include targeted measures, including financing, to mitigate the socioeconomic impact of the transitions, in road transport, higher emission reductions would be needed in otherorder to support employment and job creation in the automotive sectors, including sectors where decarbonisation is more challenging.as well as to ensure the accessibility and affordability to sustainable mobility; _________________ 25Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (OJ L 111, 25.4.2019, p. 13).

(11) The targets in the revised CO2 performance standards should be accompanied by a European strategy to address the challenges posed by the scale- up of the manufacturing of zero-emission vehicles and associated technologies, as well as the need for up- and re-skilling of workers in the sector and the economic diversification and reconversion of activities. Where appropriate, fFinancial support should be considered at the level of the EU and Member States to crowd in private investment, including via the European Social Fund Plus, the Just Transition Fund, the Innovation Fund, the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Social Climate Fund, the Support Fund for the Automotive Sector and other instruments of the Multiannual Financial Framework and the Next Generation EU, in line with State aid rules. The revised environmental and energy state aid rules will enable Member States to support business to decarbonize their production processes and adopt greener technologies in the context of the New Industrial Strategy.
