Green party launches push for decarbonisation of cars
Green Party
The Green Party has put out a “Clean Car Roadmap” with detailed proposals aimed at speeding up the move towards a low-carbon transport sector. The goal remained to end production of combustion engine cars by 2030. The paper urges a number of immediate steps such as:
- independent controls of real emissions
- a shift to base taxation on carbon emissions
- more ambitious emission goals for carmakers
- more effective support programmes for a move to e-cars
- more support for the shift of whole car fleets, starting with the government’s car fleet
- cutting subsidies for diesel
- training programmes for employees in the car sector
- more research and development support for small and medium-sized companies
