Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) The purpose should be to reduce total energy consumption in transport. In reducing total consumption, attention should be devoted both to reducing emissions from passenger cars by technical means and generally to reducing the need for mobility. The aim of cutting the need for mobility should be borne in mind in all policy areas, particularly in land-use planning and in public transport systems. Demand for mobility should be transferred from roads to rail by developing the rail network. An attempt should also be made to influence consumer behaviour, for example driving style.

Recital 13
(13) The aim of this Regulation is to create incentives for the car industry to invest in new technologies. The Regulation actively promotes eco-innovation and takes into account future technological developments. The development of hybrid and electric cars should particularly be promoted, as they cause significantly lower emissions than traditional passenger cars. In this way, the competitiveness of the European Industry is enhanced and more high-quality jobs created.
