You will feel to the rituals of collective bargaining remembered. More than 17 hours, the experts of the crucial working group 1 of the National platform for the future of mobility were sitting together. However, in the case of bargaining for a result at the end. The AG 1 to the issue of climate protection in the transport had to admit, however, early Tuesday morning, you Fail.

of Course, the major associations of the industry and the car industry, whose representatives have co-negotiated praise, you know “much more precise, as the mobility of the future must look like.” It had been shown, what is the “Technology ramp”. The core of the preliminary report of the AG, but The experts could not agree on a concept, such as the CO2-emissions of the traffic of today, almost 170 million tons to 98 million tons in 2030 can decrease.

Although the experts from economy, politics and environmental associations with many of the instruments worn together and with some very optimistic savings potential provided you have a gap of 16 to 26 million metric tons of CO2 – that’s a third, if one expects reasonably realistic.

More public TRANSPORT, more electric mobility – Oh…

Now, while there is “adequate concepts” to close this gap, States the paper. But: “About these concepts and their exact design yet there is no Consensus at the present time.”
How skinny the results are, on the subject of digitisation, the Minister of transport, Andreas Scheuer (CSU) and have such high hopes. Up to 30 percent of employees are working in 2030 in a home office and avoid traffic. Nothing against the home office, but the big lever for CO2 saving is not. This is also true for instruments such as the European train control and monitoring system ETCS. The Expansion is clearly important for the Rail. Only Germany is lagging behind on this embarrassing far behind other countries. There’s a lot of despair, of all places, ETCS as an important Instrument for Germany’s climate protection policy to write down.

In the paper, many are the obvious, such as the Expansion of Public transport or more electric cars. Always there, where you could at least scare some voters, there is dissent, such as in the case of a Bonus-Malus-System for cars, the speed limit or the congestion charge. A CO2-price should be introduced only if it applies to all sectors. That would make sense, but, for example, has cleared Minister of economic Affairs, Peter Altmaier (CDU), the topic already.
