Given the scale of the transformation and challenges, no single stakeholder will be able to transform the whole mobility ecosystem alone. Therefore, we are putting forward a collective roadmap based on three pillars: supply, production, and demand.
This roadmap should be jointly implemented by all relevant partners. ACEA will develop an action and engagement plan for each of these pillars, to be rolled out over the coming months and years, involving relevant stakeholders. For some actions, our industry will sit in the driving seat; for others, we will support the leading partners.
Promote a sustainable and socially responsible value chain, including in Europe
Accelerate the administrative clearance of procedures, eg for permitting
Guarantee a steady supply of affordable energy at a globally competitive price
Secure access to critical raw materials through trade deals and specific raw material agreements with third countries
Create the conditions for manufacturing a full range of zero-emission vehicles, including small electric vehicles that are affordable to buy and profitable to produce in Europe
Accelerate the up- and reskilling of the EU automotive workforce so that it is equipped to build the green and smart vehicles of the future
Enhance automotive circularity via research, notably for recycling technologies
Drive the development of software-defined vehicles to unleash the potential for industry to excel in software development and data-driven mobility solutions
Develop and deploy automated vehicles that improve quality of life, enhance safety, and maximise the efficiency of transport in Europe
Ramp up electric charging and hydrogen refilling infrastructure – suitable both for light- and heavy-duty vehicles – right across the EU
Boost the market uptake and deployment of zero-emission vehicles, using smart policy and technology tools to cater for diverse transport needs
Expand purchase incentives, procurement schemes and tax benefits for consumers and businesses
