Strategic Transport Technology Plan (STTP)
The European Commission is currently developing a strategic framework for future transport research, innovation and deployment, based on a vision for an integrated, efficient and environmentally friendly European transport system by 2050. This takes into account the needs that we have identified and that our policies set out to address. This framework will be presented in the form of a Strategic Transport Technology Plan (STTP) by mid 2012.
The STTP will have three components: proposals for a set of leading-edge technologies; identification of the related policy, financial and organisational requirements; and proposals for the implementation of the plan. The STTP will deal with transport technology in a holistic way, which means that it will also take into account the social, environmental and institutional context in which the technologies are applied. The STTP will include roadmaps for each of the leading-edge technologies identified, which will cover the full "innovation chain". It will help to facilitate coordination of public and private research and innovation efforts across Europe.
