The Ministry of Transport, in cooperation with the Association of the Automotive Industry and the Association of Car Importers, has prepared an amendment to the law that will allow the application of current technical capabilities of cars sold in the Czech Republic and the EU. The amendment will be submitted to the Chamber of Deputies for consideration in November.
The impact of the ban on the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines must be revisited as soon as possible, so that the European car industry can stay competitive, safeguard jobs and ensure the availability of transport. Transport minister Martin Kupka is convinced of this.
The new strategic material Autonomous Mobility Plan 2025 with an outlook until 2030, which was approved by the government at its meeting today, brings the Czech Republic significantly closer to the widespread use of autonomous technologies in transport. Its aim is to prepare the domestic transport and innovation sector for changes arising from new trends in smart mobility. The development of autonomous mobility will also have a positive impact on the industry, opening up another wide range of opportunities for high value-added applications.
On a meeting that took place in Ústí nad Labem, the Czech minister of transport Karel Havlíček and Saxon minister of economic affairs, labour and transport Martin Dulig discussed faster travelling by train, navigability of the Elbe River and signed a memorandum on sharing data about autonomous mobility and digitalisation of transport.
