European community for mobility management

Transport is the fastest growing sector in terms of energy use. It is therefore essential to tap the potential for energy-efficiency gains in this sector. Transport plays a central role in the European economy and accounts for almost 20% of total gross energy consumption in Europe. 98% of the energy consumed in this sector is fossil fuel. Investments in the economically recovering new Member States in particular offer significant opportunities to promote a shift towards low-carbon transport and a new, more sustainable mobility culture.

In 2012 STEER will cover the two following Key Actions:
• Energy-efficient transport: for actions to reduce the demand for travel by car and transport by road freight, and to shift travel and transport to more efficient transport modes.
Proposed Priorities 2012:
- Take-up of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans
- Replication of proven approaches towards significant energy-efficient modal shift
- Major transport interchanges and urban freight terminals
Clean and energy-efficient vehicles: for actions to help transform the market towards more energy-efficient vehicles, supporting and complementing the recent legislation in this area.
Proposed Priorities 2012:
- Non-conventionally fueled vehicles

Deadline 8 May 2012
budget 12.5 million euro
