Overview
- Pere Navarro set out the position at Europa Press’s Innovación Urbana event, saying access in urban cores should be by public transport, with taxis and VTCs used when necessary.
- He stated that propulsion technology would not grant exceptions, explicitly ruling out electric, diesel and gasoline cars from city centers.
- He proposed mobility-on-demand to cover trips that mass transit cannot serve and urged shared rides to make better use of limited public space.
- He cited airport queues where solo passengers take separate vehicles to similar destinations as an example of current inefficiency.
- The remarks signal an official stance rather than new rules, as survey data show car use remains prevalent in Spain and buyers favor hybrids over fully electric models.
