摘要

The study, which started some years ago, on the optimisation of the actions resulting from a vehicle-related policy within the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water-management underlined the categories of vehicles, the aspects and items which have promise with regard to enhancements in safety, environment and economy, and accessibility of e.g. city centres for the short and long term. Programmes have been running from some years. Most promising for the long term are the development of intelligent vehicles and the promotion of hybrid propulsion.
