Titolo: Le future norme europee

IL Gruppo incaricato di sviluappare la politica industriale dell'auto
presso la Commisisone europea ha emesso la sua relazione, indicando
cosa vorrebeb che sia fatto nel campo dell'auto.
NO ho tempo di tradurre, perdonatemi.
"The Group has agreed the following recommendations:
1. Simplification and better regulation
The Group has agreed to recommend the replacement of 38 EU directives
by UNECE[1] regulations, such as Directive 71/320/EEC on braking,
Directive 92/23/EC on tyres and Directive 2001/85/EC on buses and
coaches. In addition it has suggested the introduction of self- or
virtual testing in areas covered by 25 directives instead of tests
performed by a designated technical authority or tests performed on
actual vehicles or components. This substantial simplification effort
will contribute to the improvement of the existing regulatory framework
while maintaining high standards in the field of environmental
protection and road safety.
The group has also proposed a set of better regulation principles.
Particular attention was given to the quality of impact assessments for
legislative proposals.
2. Promoting the environment
The Group recommends that the Commission brings forward proposals to
reduce pollutant emissions from light and heavy duty vehicles.
Regarding the reduction of CO2 emissions from cars, CARS 21 agrees that
the responsibility for CO2 reductions from the road transport sector
cannot rest with the automotive industry alone.
The Group therefore endorses an integrated approach to reach the EU's
target of 120 g/km involving all relevant stakeholders and measures.
The Group welcomes the impact assessment which is being carried out to
examine how it can be achieved in the most cost-efficient way.
The Group has identified a number of concrete actions, which could
contribute to CO2 reductions, such as vehicle technology, alternative
fuels, eco-driving and gear-shift indicators, taxation, consumer
information and labelling or congestion avoidance. It recommends that
specific attention should be given to 2nd generation biofuels (biofuels
which can be sourced from a wider variety of feedstocks and offer
significant environmental benefits). Furthermore, hydrogen has been
identified as being a promising option as an energy carrier for the
longer-term, which needs a major research and development effort.
3. Improving road safety
An integrated approach involving vehicle technology, infrastructure and
the road user is recommended for improving road safety.
As to vehicle technology, the Commission will propose the compulsory
introduction of new safety features, such as:
    * Electronic Stability Control,
    * seatbelt reminders,
    * brake assist systems,
    * improvement of heavy duty vehicles' blind spots and
conspicuity,
    * Isofix child seats
    * daytime running lights.
Concerning the behaviour of road-users, the Group recommends improved
cross-border co-operation in pursuing drivers breaking traffic rules,
with an appropriate Commission proposal in 2006, as well as further
efforts towards the adoption of the directive on driving licenses.
4. Better market access in third countries
In the area of trade, the group believes that the opportunity presented
by the Doha Development Agenda should be taken to increase the
competitiveness of EU industry and market access to third countries.
The group recommends that the EU multilateral trade approach is
complemented by parallel bilateral approaches.
The EU car industry encounters several obstacles on the Chinese market,
such as favouritism towards domestic producers, investment
restrictions, local content constraints and weak enforcement of
intellectual property rights. The Commission will continue its close
monitoring of Chinese business and regulatory developments with a view
to assessing the possibility of success at an eventual WTO dispute
settlement panel if the existing situation does not improve.

In pratica il futuro ci riserva dei polmoni ecologici zeppi di elettronica
*obbligatoria* e dalla forma sempre piu` voluminosa per aumentare il campo
di visibilita` (piu` vetratura) e la sicurezza, e cio` sara` favorito da
leggi, direttive, eventuali tasse e/o agevolazioni. Il piano spazia dai
mezzi privati ai mezzi pesanti.
Io pero` ho la vaga impressione che i termini "Tecnologia", "Ecologia" e
"Sicurezza" non siano altro che una scusa per far girare l'economia solo
dal lato delle Case automobilistiche in crisi.
Per quel che mi riguarda, in ogni caso, finche' non esce in commercio
l'auto perfetta per muoversi da A a B, ossia completamente silenziosa,
esente da manutenzione o quasi, che consumi poco o nulla, abbia minimo
impatto sull'ambiente e che costi poco (tanto e` questo l'andazzo) non
comprero` mai un'auto nuova.

Premesso che non l'ho mai guidata ne' vista dal vivo, secondo me e` un po'
lontana dal concetto di utilitaria: e` troppo grossa, ha ancora il motore
termico che richiede manutenzione ed aggiunge complessita` al sistema, il
prezzo pur essendo basso rispetto ai contenuti e` livellato a quello delle
concorrenti, alla fine pur adottando un sistema di propulsione ibrido, in
situazioni variegate non consuma ne' inquina tanto meno rispetto ad una
equivalente turbodiesel (particolato a parte, ma e` un finto problema).

Si' sarà un po' come dici tu, pero' da ciclista in città ti dico che
le auto puzzolenti non si reggono piu'. Comunque le proposte del Gruppo
contenogno anche l'idea di creareuna direttiva per perseguire a livello
europeo chi infrange il codice della strada...in partica biosgnerà
stare molto attenti quando si guida fuori dall'Italia.
