The cars of the future
E-mobility is becoming increasingly important at the political, economic and social level. One of the reasons for this is the EU’s new target to achieve a 37.5% cut in CO2 emissions for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles by 2030. While the number of passenger cars being registered in Austria is generally in decline, the number of registered e-cars is growing substantially. 590,000 e-cars must be on Austria’s roads by 2030 in order to achieve the target set by the EU. As an infrastructure operator, Wien Energie provides the necessary framework conditions to ensure that e-cars are also available on the wider market in Vienna.
Background information
E-mobility is a key factor in efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of the transport sector. Governments and business have also recognised the considerable potential of this technology. Aside from reducing CO2 emissions, e-cars have many other positive effects on people and the environment.
Our demands
Electric cars are an important part of the puzzle when it comes to achieving climate targets. However, in order for e-mobility to become an attractive proposition for the wider market and thereby enabling it to realise its full potential for protecting the environment, the automotive industry and governments still have to take the necessary steps.
