on 2001 figures). This would reduce the<br />
fatalities from 54,314 (<strong>EU</strong>27 <strong>in</strong> 2001) to<br />
27157 (2010). The figure for 2008 was<br />

In the short to medium term (before<br />
2020) reduc<strong>in</strong>g greenhouse gas emissions<br />
by 30 % compared to 1990 levels.<br />
Beyond 2050, reduc<strong>in</strong>g greenhouse gas<br />
emissions by 60 % to 80 % compared to<br />
1990 levels<br />
Increased share of bio-fuels and alternative<br />
hydrocarbon fuels <strong>in</strong> surface<br />
transport applications, for bio-fuels and<br />
Compressed Natural Gas the aim will be<br />
to arrive at a 10 % and 2 % respectively<br />
use <strong>in</strong> surface transport by 2010.<br />
Development of new powertra<strong>in</strong> concepts<br />
able to give a substantial contribution<br />
to the achievement of a 30 % CO 2<br />
reduction (based on 2005 figures) for<br />
passenger cars and light-duty vehicles<br />
for the new vehicle fleet <strong>in</strong> 2020.<br />
The objective of the <strong>research</strong> is a substantial<br />
reduction of CO 2 emissions by at<br />
least 20 % (based on 2003 figures)<br />
through fuel economy improvements for<br />
commercial heavy duty vehicles <strong>in</strong> 2020.<br />
The target should also <strong>in</strong>clude near-zeroemission<br />

compliance with provisions for limit<strong>in</strong>g<br />
real-world emissions to be <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>EU</strong>RO 6 regulations. The eng<strong>in</strong>e concept<br />
should be further fully optimised to meet<br />
future demands on bio-based fuel. Activities<br />
