The car industry is crying out for a mobility in which citizens can choose

Neutral in Motion considers it necessary to take measures to realize the urgent renovation of the car park

Mobility in Spain has three main challenges: decarbonisation and air quality, digitalisation and the need to put people first, with a regulatory framework that creates certainty. This is insured
Maria Jose RalloSecretary General of Transport and Mobility of the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) during the event “New Challenges of Mobility”, organized by the Círculo Neutral in Motion, where the main employers of cars and vehicles of Spain participate of making up , in collaboration with PONS Mobility.

From this organization they argue for the need for a mobility plan “Spanish style”, characterized essentially by multimodality, technological neutrality, inclusiveness and aimed at answering the needs of the citizen, as well as the urgent renovation of a park mobile currently obsolete, and that makes it possible to achieve the decarbonisation targets.

So according to
Jose Portilladirector general of Sernauto «the key is to take the oldest vehicles out of circulation, which are the most polluting, so that the citizen knows all the mobility options available and allows him to choose the vehicle that best suits his needs .”

Portilla believes that the manufacturers have one speed and the regulations another very different, so “we are going slow and we have to accelerate the steps because this sector cannot be left behind, because it is a jewel of the Spanish industry”.

In front of
Jaime Barea, Ganvam company director, promoting the renovation of the park is becoming a key point to make progress in decarbonization to prevent something happening today, as a third of used vehicle sales are cars over 15 years old. be years old. “The traditional approach of encouraging scrapping in exchange for the purchase of another vehicle needs to be extended to both new and used motor vehicles, regardless of technology, electric or combustion engine, but which are truly efficient,” says the manager.

Van Faconauto, the commercial director
Montse Martinez sees “with concern” the process towards low-carbon mobility “not only because of the higher costs of vehicles, but also because uncertainty has increased about the different regulations coming from government services.”

In front of
Jose Lopez-Tafall, general manager of Anfac, it is important from Neutral in Motion to promote “mobility without restrictions and citizens free to decide on the mobility they need”. The multiple solutions range from micro-mobility to the private vehicle “which is currently the least desired and with the mobility model defined by the administrations”.

The two-wheeler sector is also claiming more fame. For example, José María Riaño, general secretary of Anesdor, denounces that motorcycles are excluded from the Moves Plan, while 7.9% of registrations in Spain are already electric scooters.
