The Commission, in its communication of 9 December 2020 entitled Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy – putting European transport on track for the future, refers to incentives for choosing the most sustainable transport options, within and across the modes of transport. Those incentives include the setting up of a European framework for the harmonised measurement of transport and logistics greenhouse gas emissions, based on globally recognised standards, which could then be used to provide businesses and end-users with an estimate of the carbon footprint of their choices, and to increase the demand from end-users and consumers to opt for more sustainable transport and mobility solutions, while avoiding greenwashing.
