Recital 10 a (new)
(10 a) Taking into account the White Paper's 60% GHG emission reduction target and the goal to halve the use of 'conventionally fuelled' cars in urban transport by 2030 and phase them out in cities by 2050, Member States should be given the option, in Directive 2006/126/EC and in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union, to authorise the driving on their territory of alternative fuelled vehicles up to a mass of 4250 kg with a driving license B, provided that the excess of a mass of the vehicle is due exclusively to the mass of its alternative fuel system and that the use of these vehicles contributes to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and improving air quality. Moreover, Member States should ensure that the drivers of such vehicles are required to follow an additional training course in order to include positive effects on road safety and encourage eco-driving.
