Climate protection on the street: Press conference on green mobility in Vienna!

Wiedner Hauptstraße 63, 1040 Wien, Österreich - On March 25, 2025, a press conference on environmentally friendly mobility and CO₂ reduction will take place in traffic at 10:00 a.m. The event is organized by Efuel Alliance Austria at the Austria Chamber of Commerce, in Saal 2, Wiedner Hauptstraße 63, 1040 Vienna. dossier climate change , the increase in emissions in Germany has accelerated in recent years. In 2019, the traffic emitted 165 million tons of CO₂, which corresponds almost to the 1990 level. However, the current course shows that the decline in emissions is necessary to 85 million tons by 2030, which requires almost halving within a decade.

It is particularly alarming that 96 % of greenhouse gas emissions in traffic come from road traffic. Of this, 61 % of this is on cars and 36 % on trucks. These numbers illustrate the need for a profound transformation of the mobility industry in order to achieve the climate goals. Measures such as the promotion of electric vehicles and the stricter CO₂ emission standards of the EU are therefore of crucial importance.

strategies for the traffic transition

The Efuel Alliance is committed to innovative approaches to improve the climate. This includes strategies such as traffic avoidance, relocation and increasing efficiency. The focus is also on promoting public transport and cycling to set the course for sustainable mobility.

The Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan provides for massive investments of 133 billion euros for road construction and 112 billion euros for rail expansion. However, there is a need to provide additional funds for the expansion of local public transport and the development of cycling fasting paths. The federal government also supports electric vehicles with purchase bonuses of up to 9,000 euros.

In view of the growing challenges in the transport sector and the associated environmental issues, the press conference on March 25, 2025 promises exciting insights and approaches to solve current problems in the field of mobility and CO₂ reduction.
