2 Elemente nachhaltiger Mob Umweltbelastungen durch Verkehr Lärm - flächendeckend hohe Hintergrundbelastung durch Straßenlärm - hohe nächtliche Lärmpegel an Güterschienentrassen - hohe Lärmspitzen an Flughäfen Luftschadstoffe - abnehmender Trend, dennoch hoher Anteil an Gesamtemissionen - besondere Probleme: Feinstaub und Stickoxide (europäische Grenzwerte) Flächenverbrauch und -zerschneidung - Siedlungsfläche beträgt 12,5 der Gesamtfläche Deutschlands, Tendenz steigend - nur noch 22% Prozent der Gesamtfläche gelten als unzerschnittene Räume nach SRU 2005 und DLR/IFEU 2006

10 Options for the legislative approach of the EU CO2&cars policy Dr. Uwe Lahl, Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit

11 EU Commission: Strategic Framework COM(2007)19 of : Specific average emissions in EU 27: 120 g CO2/km until g CO2/km until 2020 to be reviewed

12 EU Commission: Pillars of CO2&Cars-Strategy Passenger car market (demand) Accompanying measures

13 EU Commission: Pillars of CO2&Cars-Strategy Passenger car market (demand) Gesetzgebung Supposed to deliver in total a reduction of 10 g CO2/km until 2012 Accompanying measures Tyre pressure Road resistance Air conditioning Gear switching N1 vehicles Alternative fuels

14 EU Commission: Pillars of CO2&Cars-Strategy Passenger car market (demand) Motor vehicle taxes CO2 labelling LEEV reference Code of conduct for passenger car advertising Numerical contribution not specified Accompanying measures Tyre pressure Road resistance Air conditioning Gear switching N1 vehicles Alternative fuels

15 EU Commission: Pillars of CO2&Cars-Strategy Passenger car market (demand) Motor vehicle taxes CO2 labelling LEEV reference Code of conduct for passenger car advertising So far no details apart from: 130 g CO2/km as general target for technical measurers instead of voluntary commitment Accompanying measures Tyre pressure Road resistance Air conditioning Gear switching N1 vehicles Alternative fuels

16 EU Commission: Pillars of CO2&Cars-Strategy Passenger car market In (demand) practical terms demand measures and Motor legislation vehicle taxesare often linked to each other. Approach: The target of CO2 labelling 130 g CO2/km has to be met mainly LEEV reference by technical measures, demand Code of conduct measures for passenger support car technical measures advertising in order to limit up-sizing Accompanying measures Tyre pressure Road resistance Air conditioning Gear switching N1 vehicles Alternative fuels

17 Legislative options for fuel efficient passenger cars being discussed at present

18 Criteria to be met by the legislative options Environmental criteria The target of 130 g/km must be met Social criteria Must avoid social distortion (jobs, car use) Practical criteria Must be practically feasible and enforceable Economic criteria: Must be economically reasonable and efficient Competitiveness criteria Must avoid distortion of the market Political criteria Must be in line with other agreed policies
