URBAN MOBILITY: THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE CITIZEN

Présentateur

Commentaires de présentation

Summary Mobility is a central element in people’s lives and a key contributor to the development and prosperity of cities worldwide. The expansion of cities has put increasing pressure on existing infrastructure, resulting in a changing demand for transport and an evolving transportation landscape. By 2050, an additional two billion people are expected to become users of various transport modes, which will inevitably result in new mobility challenges. Key issues currently encountered by cities include traffic and parking congestion, inadequate infrastructure for non-drivers and vulnerable road users, and other economic, social and environmental concerns. The FIA, with its unique membership model, is in the right position to voice users’ demands for car ownership and call for evidence-based policies in urban transportation. In the context of the UN’s new sustainable development agenda, the FIA and its Clubs, particularly focus on regulations targeting environmental vehicle performance. To be effective, it is crucial for policies to be formulated with consideration of consumer benefits. In this regard, FIA member clubs are undertaking a number of consumer testing initiatives to provide motorists with credible information on emissions levels and their compliance with existing regulations. Ensuring demand-focused mobility policies and environmental regulations are developed hand in hand will open the road to shorter, cleaner, and more efficient trips, thereby decreasing the global environmental impact of transport and improving the quality of life of citizens.

THE FIA: A WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

. Founded in 1904, with headquarters in Paris, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is a non-profit making association. It brings together 236 national motoring and sporting organisations from 141 countries on five continents. Its member clubs represent 80 million of road users.

URBAN MOBILITY – KEY CONCERNS FOR USERS

SOCIAL DIMENSION: ROAD SAFETY & ACCESSIBLE CITIES

• Increase number of road accidents in cities among vulnerable road users • The number of people aged over 60 is set to double by 2050. Are cities prepared?

Présentateur


By 2020, individuals aged 60 and older will be greater in number than children younger than five. By 2050, the world’s older adult population will have doubled to 2 billion. These numbers are striking.

ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION: AIR QUALITY AND VEHICLE EMISSIONS

Key concerns from users: • Restrictive policies for cars in city zones • Effects of unintended consequences from EU legislation (diesel) • Assessment of transport share emissions • Reduction of speed limits for environmental reasons • Timely information on air quality condition

Présentateur


UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES In Europe, diesel cars have been promoted as a low carbon and cheap to run alternative to petrol and, in many countries, make up half of the new car market. Over the last 15-20 years, consumers embraced this technology, in the belief they were more environmentally friendly, and under the promise of saving on pump prices. Now, after several years and the evidence that diesel cars emit tiny particles of dust (PM 2.5 and PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which are dangerous for the health, many cities started considering banning diesel vehicles from city centers to meet air quality legislation. This is a clear example of policies designed to support behavioural change in the market that can lead to unintended consequence

Region I study on the Cost of Motoring Region I declaration (Helsinki): The European Institutions should in particular: Recognise that European motorists largely contribute to public budgets, far beyond the revenue needed to cover the costs of operating, maintaining, renewing and enhancing Europe’s road infrastructure Acknowledge that major surpluses from motorist taxes are redirected for other purposes than road transport in national budgets Support policies to sustain the first class road infrastructure that Europe needs for its economic and societal development Refrain from proposing a common charging framework for passenger cars that would infringe on Member State competence and increase the financial burden on European citizens Direct infrastructure related investment of the TEN-T programme and Connecting Europe Facility to complete and consolidate Europe’s major road transport corridors, forming the backbone for transportation in Europe

A NEW URBAN AGENDA: FIA AND FIA CLUBS APPROACH

• Promote Consumer information • Advocacy for evidence-based policies • Promote Users’ involvement (e.g. Eco-driving training) • Showcasing low carbon technology and drive innovation

Présentateur


Consumers can contribute and play a crucial role in defining consumption patterns. Promote consumer information and guidance is key. Policy should encourage behavioural change rather than penalise consumers. People care (more&more) about “going green” Consumers are looking for more efficient, longer- lasting cars, primarily to save costs (lower carbon emissions mean improved fuel economy and lower fuel bills) Consumers demand clear (user-friendly) information on environment impact Consumers can create demand for low carbon technology (neutrality approach) Consumers embrace new technology When consumers are put in a position to embrace low carbon technology, then public policy, technological progress, and market success will be mutually reinforcing.

KEY FINDINGS OF THE VW EMISSIONS RECALL • No significant differences in NOX and CO2

emissions and fuel consumption (under the New European Driving Cycle NECD)

• No significant impact on the drivability of a vehicle and its overall handling performance

• Discrepancy between measured CO2 emissions values and values specified by manufacturers

• The FIA expressed reassurance to car owners that their vehicles should not be adversely affected by the recall.

• Additional parameters need to be looked at, including the impact on particulate emissions, before we can be more definitive about the full implications of the recall process

PROMOTING A NEW URBAN AGENDA: VEHICLE EMISSIONS

Présentateur


One additional point of interest from the tests is the apparent discrepancy between measured CO2 emissions and those certified by the manufacturer under international regulations. Even before the recall, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions were found to be seven to 15 per cent higher than specified by the manufacturer, as measured by the NEDC test cycle.

Présentateur


Diesel Scandal: lessons learned The cost of more stringent emission regulations shouldn’t be passed on to consumers Emission test cycles should be harmonised and countries should comply with WLTP standards Standard-setting of emission and fuel consumption limits should maximize (be based on the assumption of optimal) consumer benefits Car users should have an equitable position in the policy-making process related to environmental vehicle performance

SUMMARY and RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Promote demand-focused policy making

• Balanced cost-benefit assessment. • A strong focus on independent

consumer testing and assessment 2. Cross-sectorial cooperation • Promote an open and inclusive

consultation process; • Encourage best practices sharing; • Innovative solutions should follow key

market principles of consumer choice, competition, cost-based pricing;

Présentateur


1) Promote demand-focused policy making In order to adapt to rapidly changing consumer preferences in mobility services and bring additional evidence in transport policy making, there must be a balanced cost-benefit assessment between a necessity of enhancing efficiency of existing supply versus expanding demand capacity. A strong focus should be placed on independent consumer testing and assessment of new mobility solutions that bring about sustainability transition in cities 2) Cross-sectorial cooperation and information-sharing Local authorities should aim at establishing open and inclusive consultation process in their attempts to provide effective, safe and sustainable mobility. Local authorities should improve data-sharing mechanisms and channel information on fleet size, transport demand, traffic density and other mobility indicators with the goal of bridging existing sustainability gaps in mobility systems. Cities will overcome more mobility challenges by learning from each other and working towars shared goals. A high-level discussion between global network of cities, think tanks, development banks and relevant international organizations should be a leading mechanism for advancing sustainable mobility solutions in urban areas. Innovative solutionsCo-mobility business community should follow key market principles of consumer choice, competition, cost-based pricing and economic neutrality and ensure their positive correlation to sustainability targets. Sustainable mobility is multidimensional and it should be scalled up via innovative communication platforms, global events and well-targeted campaigns.
