Transport & Mobility Transport is key for the economy, especially for the manufacturing industries Mobility of workers and citizens is the entry- door for employment and social integration For our sectors: it is the employer of 15m workers in Europe But it is also: a source of varied pollution and an important consumer of energy
Our view of future mobility Transport and mobility are not goals in themselves, but must serve the needs of societies and populations; are a powerful means of social integration for the whole of society; should respect the environmental needs of our societies (today and tomorrow)
Manufacturing workers view A Mobility Revolution is: a challenge, mainly for employment, working conditions and skills; an opportunity, to develop a sustainable manufacturing base in Europe, and find new markets
A Challenge A change in transport and mobility policies will bring: manufacturing job losses a transformation of jobs and job transfers new skill requirements for workers already in place and for new young colleagues Therefore a demand for appropriate T&E policies, retraining efforts, and anticipatory measures with the social partners
An opportunity A reoriented product policy from the transport equipment manufacturers will: Open up new, domestic markets Create quality jobs Support the development of new supply-chains Make transport sustainable Contribute to overcoming the crisis
