CLECAT considers the measures of the "Fit for 55" package for the freight transport sector to be more than satisfactory
For the association, they represent an opportunity to achieve a rapid transition to zero-emission mobility
January 14, 2022
With regard to road transport, CLECAT evaluated the proposal to extend to road transport is positive the scope of the ETS, the allowance trading scheme of emissions, noting that a European solution for fixation of the carbon price should avoid the proliferation of national ETS systems. The association has, however, specified that the its support for the proposal is conditional on the fact that revenue from the charging of CO2 emissions produced by road transport are limited and returned to the sector of road transport in the form of grant programmes for finance investments in environmentally friendly vehicles, technologies and infrastructural innovations.
CLECAT also expressed satisfaction with the inclusion of the maritime transport in the EU ETS and for the will to promote the use of sustainable alternative fuels for shipping. The same satisfaction was expressed for the proposals to increase the production, use and supply of sustainable alternative fuels for air transport.
