Europe must deliver on three objectives simultaneously: climate neutrality, industrial competitiveness and strategic resilience. Achieving all three requires a regulatory framework that rewards real greenhouse gas emission reductions rather than favouring specific technologies.
FinMobility’s position paper calls for technology neutrality to become a guiding principle across future EU transport, climate, energy and industrial policy. Climate performance should be assessed on a lifecycle (well-to-wheel) basis, allowing electrification, sustainable renewable fuels, biomethane, hydrogen and other low-emission solutions to compete on the basis of their actual environmental performance.
A technology-neutral approach enables faster emission reductions, strengthens Europe’s energy security, supports investment certainty and enhances industrial competitiveness. This is particularly important for heavy-duty transport and long-distance logistics, where different transport segments require different decarbonisation pathways.
