19/04/2016 (Agence Europe) - Heavy duty vehicles included in critical sectors. In the report back on the first day of the informal Environment Council heavy duty vehicles were omitted from the third paragraph of the story (see EUROPE 11532). The draft subsequently read as follows, "All the different ingredients necessary for green transport were discussed: innovative automobile technologies, such as highly automated autonomous vehicles that have already been tested in the Netherlands, different kinds of fuels, managing demand in transport, in an effort to organise it better and focus efforts on more difficult areas (urban transport), as well as critical sectors, not only passenger cars but also light utility vehicles, heavy duty vehicles, combustion engines that still need to be improved, even though zero emissions are impossible for this kind of engine". The electronic version of the EUROPE newsletter been corrected. (AN)
