The plan also envisages an end to cheap holiday flights from Britain to southern Europe with a target that over 50 per cent of all journeys above 186 miles should be by rail.
Top of the EU's list to cut climate change emissions is a target of "zero" for the number of petrol and diesel-driven cars and lorries in the EU's future cities.
Siim Kallas, the EU transport commission, insisted that Brussels directives and new taxation of fuel would be used to force people out of their cars and onto "alternative" means of transport.
"That means no more conventionally fuelled cars in our city centres," he said. "Action will follow, legislation, real action to change behaviour."
The European Commission on Monday unveiled a "single European transport area" aimed at enforcing "a profound shift in transport patterns for passengers" by 2050.

Mundial de Superbike em Donington Park Racing -
Maxime Berger perde roda durante a corrida.
Existem algumas maneiras comuns de acidente de moto durante a competição - na maioria das vezes nem a extremamente perigosa do lado de alta ou a geralmente pouco-mais-que-eu-scraping incidente do lado de baixa - mas, ao lidar com máquinas empurrou para a própria bordas de suas habilidades mecânicas, há sempre a chance de falha do equipamento fora catastrófica e um acidente impressionante.
Tal foi o caso de Maxime Berger, que caiu da primeira corrida durante a segunda rodada de Ação Mundial de Superbike em Donington Park, na moda, e não espetacular. Como você pode ver na imagem acima e no vídeo após a ruptura , o corsário Berger Ducati de alguma forma conseguiu completamente metade do seu galpão de colocação normal de rodas ... e, no caso de uma motocicleta, que é uma coisa muito ruim mesmo.

10 Most Reasonable Cars to Buy - All the cars on the list are small — either compacts or subcompacts — because they tend to have the lowest market price, the best fuel economy, and reasonable insurance rates — since premiums tend to rise with horsepower.
Note that with the lower-price class, you may also have to pay extra for automatic transmission, air conditioning and sometimes even a radio — not to mention such safety features as anti-lock brakes. Most are equipped with six standard airbags but only half have standard stability control. (The market price is the average transaction cost and reflects rebates; all vehicles have manual transmissions, unless otherwise noted.)
1. Hyundai Accent GL 2dr hatch

For under $11,000, the Accent boasts killer fuel economy of 34 mpg on the highway and 28 in the city. Even on the base model, optional equipment includes an iPod hookup ($35) and Bluetooth ($325). Six airbags are standard, but there's no option for ABS.

Nissan's subcompact hatch, which gets 26 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, hits the streets at a smidge over ten grand but offers a bigger interior than classmates Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit. Six airbags are standard on even the lowest trim, but you'll pay $250 extra for ABS.

Chevy's smallest car will be replaced next year by the Sonic, but for 2011 the little hatchback offers good interior space and cargo room — 15 cubic feet with the 60/40 split rear seat up. Maintenance and repairs average just $3,000 for five years. Side airbags and six months of OnStar Automatic Crash Response are standard, but ABS and side-curtain airbags are not available.

The Yaris's 1.5-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder engine pushes fuel economy to the max. The car gets 29 mpg in the city and 36 on the highway, giving it ultra-low fuel costs over five years compared with the competition. Good resale values give the car a leg up in our cost calculations. ABS and stability control are standard, as are six airbags.

The Focus will get a redesign for 2012, but the 2011 version is already a solid value. The 2.0-liter engine puts out 140 horsepower but sips fuel politely — it gets 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Stability and traction control, ABS, and six airbags are standard.
