Fast E
…Europe Facility (CEF), fast-E is the currently largest EV infrastructure deployment project funded by the European Commission.
A total number of 307 multi-standard-fast chargers in four Countries, covering more than 20,000 km of major roads in Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia, will provide a significant amount of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. Driving between Urban Areas, and even crossing borders with electric mobility will no longer be a theory. By the end of 2018, the fast-E network will be completed and be able to serve green energy to thousands of electric vehicles across Europe. -
Low Emissions Zone (Crit'Air)
…certificates. In order to travel, motorists must display the
Crit'Air sticker visibly on their windshield. The stickers provide an indication of
pollutants emitted by the vehicle. Six categories exist, with a corresponding color
and a specific vignette for electric vehicles.
Initially, gasoline and diesel passenger cars of more than 10 years of age,
motorized 2- and 3-wheelers more than 16 years of age and buses, coaches and
heavy vehicles of more than 15 years of age are prohibited Monday to Friday from
8 am to 8 pm.
These restrictions will progressively affect more and more categories of vehicles -
Sustainable Transport - Better Infrastructure Strategy
…elements of the plan are to be implemented over the next 10-15 years, aiming for a thorough shift towards a sustainable transport system. For road vehicles, the government will undertake a fundamental restructuring of vehicle taxation to encourage the purchase of energy-efficient cars. This will be combined with a road pricing policy to make it more expensive to drive in urban areas during rush hour, thus increasing the demand for public transport. The strategy also supports the introduction of electric vehicles by introducing a tax exemption until 2012 and subsequent tax reductions in the following years to 2015.

Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy and Environment Label
…motor vehicle fuel economy label as called for by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), which specifically called for vehicles to be rated according to fuel economy, GHGs, and smog forming pollutants. In 2011, EPA and the NHTSA published the final rule. Starting with model year 2013, the redesigned and improved fuel economy labels will be required to be affixed to all new passenger cars and trucks - both conventional gasoline powered and “next generation" cars, such as plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. Automakers may voluntarily adopt the new labels earlier for model year 2012 vehicles…

Tax credit for energy transition
…for eligible equipment. The tax credit can cover purchase of boilers with a high energy efficiency rate, thermal insulation works, heating regulation devices, heat pumps, charging points for electric vehicles, etc.The tax credit is limited to EUR 8000 per person, EUR 16 000 for a couple and EUR 400 for each additional dependent. Since 2005 and the Programme Law setting the directions of the energy policy (POPE), private individuals have been able to benefit from a tax credit for the purchase of the most efficient materials or equipment in terms of saving energy or generating renewable energy. From 1st…

Energy security
…in Japan the strongest reductions were in oil imports, due to some of the most stringent fuel economy standards both for passenger and commercial vehicles. A closer look at electricity security Energy efficiency and demand response policies can also contribute to electricity security by reducing the risk of outages resulting from peak demand.Different programmes have demonstrated success in reducing peak electricity demand and preventing outages. Studies in the United Kingdom and the United States show that real-time feedback and pre-event communications lead to reductions in consumption and peak demand of about 3%.This is especially relevant in…
