Some Remarks concerning a Vehicle Technology
Focused Approach
The current vehicle-focused Commitment has
reduced CO2 emissions substantially. Activities
to increase safety, to reduce regulated emissions
and to improve the recyclability often lead to an
increase in CO2 emissions. The costs of vehicle
technologies to further reduce CO2 emissions are
increasing with impacts on affordability and on
global competitiveness. The inclusion of other
stakeholders increases the effectiveness and
reduces the costs to reach political CO2 targets.

The Challenge of an Integrated Approach
Vehicle Technology e.g. direct injection
engines, hybrid vehicles, alternative fuel
vehicles
Fuels e.g. alternative fuels, clean fuels
Isolated Activities
Driver e.g. fuel efficient driving
Infrastructure e.g. traffic management

Conclusion and Invitation to a Dialogue
ACEA therefore proposes an Integrated Approach
and invites other stakeholders to participate in
a dialogue. It will deliver faster CO2 savings
in line with the Communitys objectives -- in the
most cost-effective and realistic manner. It
will draw-in various stakeholders into a joint
endeavour, that will provide the best opportunity
to achieve EU Kyoto targets. It will protect the
economic health and global competitiveness not
only of the European automotive industry, but
also of the EU economy.
