Until the first round of the presidential election, L’argus details the proposals of the main candidates concerning the automotive sector. Fabien Roussel (PCF) takes a stand against “all-car” and wants to focus on the development of public transport.
Monday, March 14, the teams of Mobilians (ex-CNPA), the PFA, the Fiev and the CSIAM welcomed the candidates (or rather their respective representatives) in the Salle Gaveau, in Paris. Jacques Baudrier thus expressed himself in favor of the French Communist Party, representing the candidate Fabien Roussel. Between discriminatory ZFEs or the disastrous installation of charging stations, he swept away a large part of the Reds’ program. Here’s what to remember.
An injured automotive industry?
For the PCF, there is no doubt that ” substitute the car as much as possible for less energy-intensive means of transport, if possible carbon-free remains the only viable long-term solution. Jacques Baudrier explained that public transport should be free: an essential measure which would be accompanied by an envelope of 25 billion euros. Cycling was also brought up and the representative considered the lack of cycle paths to be heresy. ” We are nevertheless the country of the Tour de France »he exclaimed.
The transformation of the sector, on the other hand, was mentioned without further details. ” We are also part of a logic of reindustrialization of the country. It also needs more factories, an overall industrial augmentation strategy ». The party also wants ” achieve 100% renewal of company car fleets by 2030 » for electrified models.
Promote the change of car
For individuals, Fabien Roussel proposes to increase the conversion premium up to €10,000 for the most modest households, ” including for low-cost models ». What’s more, he wants to launch an exceptional bonus when installing a charging station at home. ” A cap is set at €1,500 per charging point and per person. The reduction percentage is set at 45% for 2022, 30 % in 2023 and 15% in 2024 “, detailed Jacques Baudrier on March 14.
The PCF also split a single proposal among the 12 candidates. ” The Euro 7 standard must impose braking particle suction systems and make them compulsory on new vehicles. For an additional cost of around 150 euros per vehicle, this can save thousands of lives. We alone make this call »recalled Mr. Roussel.
Relieve consumers
Pump tariffs were obviously addressed by the party. ” Social discrimination is created on mobility. Fabien Roussel proposes a fuel price freeze at €1.70 per liter », said Jacques Baudrier on the subject. Fabien Roussel would also like the return of the floating TIPP set up between 2000 and 2002. The reason? This is indexed directly to the price of fuel and can therefore increase or decrease depending on the moment. Finally, we retain the proposition that the driving license is free for people under 25 “. A good initiative whose funding will have to be confirmed, if the candidate is elected.
