Transport 2050 IP/11/372 Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions (28/03/2011) Key goals  No more conventionally-fuelled cars in cities;  A 50% shift of medium distance intercity passenger and freight journeys from road to rail and waterborne transport;  All of which will contribute to a 60% cut in transport emissions by the middle of the century. 3

Transport 2050 IP/11/372  A roadmap for a competitive transport sector that increases mobility and cuts emissions;  Competitive transport systems are vital for Europe's ability to compete in the world, for economic growth, job creation and for peoples' everyday quality of life;  Curbing mobility is not an option;  To break the transport system's dependence on oil without sacrificing its efficiency and compromising mobility. 4
