Introduction

Polis, EUROCITIES and the CEMR join forces today: With our collective voice of the three networks' member cities and regions, we call upon the European Parliament to vote for new procurement rules that ensure a future with cleaner vehicles.

Our joint letter on the revision of the Clean Vehicles Directive was sent today and ahead of tomorrow's EP plenary vote in Strasbourg, which will set the the tone for the upcoming discussions and negotiations with the European Council. More information is here.

We wish you a nice read!
