### (8) in order to achieve a reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 , it is necessary to strengthen the reduction requirements set out in regulation (eu) 2019/631 of the european parliament and of the council25 for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. a clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050. without ambitious action on greenhouse gas emission reductions in road transport , higher emission reductions would be needed in other sectors , including sectors where decarbonisation is more challenging. ### (8) in order to achieve a reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 , it is necessary to strengthen the reduction requirements set out in regulation (eu) 2019/631 of the european parliament and of the council25 for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. a clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050. new strengthened and ambitious co2 emission reduction targets provide a very powerful and efficient impetus for technological change in the industry of the road transport sector. clear regulatory signals should enable manufacturers to promptly shift their investments decisions towards zero emission mobility. without ambitious action on greenhouse gas emission reductions in road transport , higher emission reductions would be needed in other sectors , including sectors where decarbonisation is more challenging.


### (11) the targets in the revised co2 performance standards should be accompanied by a european strategy to address the challenges posed by the scale-up of the manufacturing of zero-emission vehicles and associated technologies , as well as the need for up- and re-skilling of workers in the sector and the economic diversification and reconversion of activities. where appropriate , financial support should be considered at the level of the eu and member states to crowd in private investment , including via the european social fund plus , the just transition fund , the innovation fund , the recovery and resilience facility and other instruments of the multiannual financial framework and the next generation eu , in line with state aid rules. the revised environmental and energy state aid rules will enable member states to support business to decarbonize their production processes and adopt greener technologies in the context of the new industrial strategy. ### (11) the targets in the revised co2 performance standards should be accompanied by a european strategy to address the challenges posed by the scale-up of the manufacturing of zero-emission vehicles and associated technologies , as well as the need for up- and re-skilling of workers in the sector and the economic diversification and reconversion of activities. it is essential to ensure that the implementation of regulation (eu) 2019/631 does not result in job losses or lost revenue for workers. financial support should therefore be stepped up at the level of the eu and member states to crowd in private investment , including via the european social fund plus , the just transition fund , the innovation fund , the social climate fund , the european regional development fund , the investeu's just "transition" scheme , the recovery and resilience facility and other instruments of the multiannual financial framework and the next generation eu , in line with state aid rules and complemented by member states programmes. the revised environmental and energy state aid rules will enable member states to support business to decarbonize their production processes and adopt greener technologies in the context of the new industrial strategy. this financial support should be conditional on maintaining the level of employment of the companies receiving them.


### (12) the updated new industrial strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry , public authorities , social partners and other stakeholders. in this context , a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. the pathway should take particular heed of smes in the automotive supply chain , of the consultation of social partners including by member states , and also build on the european skills agenda with initiatives like the pact for skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. the appropriate actions and incentives at european and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. the progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the commission , looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero-emission vehicles , their price developments , deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll-out as required under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation , the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility , international competitiveness , investments in the automotive value chain , up-skilling and re-skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. the progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that member states submit under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation. the commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report , including the results in the social dialogue. innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture , if further developed , could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. the commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report. ### (12) the updated new industrial strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry , public authorities , social partners and other stakeholders. multi-stakeholder dialogue and knowledge sharing proved to be essential to ensure collective progress , transparency and mobilisation of the most effective means for addressing the socio-economic impacts of the transition. in this context , a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. the pathway should take particular heed of smes in the automotive supply chain , of the consultation of social partners including by member states , and also build on the european skills agenda with initiatives like the pact for skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. the appropriate actions and incentives at european and national level to boost the affordability of zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. individual mobility should remain accessible and affordable for all , especially for citizens of rural , remote and island areas , with no or little access to quality public transport or other mobility solutions. the progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the commission , looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of zero-emission vehicles , their price developments , deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll-out as required under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation , the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility , international competitiveness , investments in the automotive value chain , up-skilling and re-skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. it is essential to ensure the new strengthened and ambitious co2 reduction targets will go hand by hand with an increase in rollout targets set by the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation. the progress report will also build on the two-year progress reports that member states submit under the alternative fuels infrastructure regulation. the commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report , including the results in the social dialogue. in addition , the commission should monitor and assess the need for adequate measures to address the social impacts of the transition to zero-emission vehicles on households and workers. innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture , if further developed , could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. the commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report.
