Key points

The motion calls for the inclusion of low-emission vehicles, such as those running on hydrogen or biofuels, alongside zero-emission options.
Criteria for vehicles should include low-emission greenhouse gas options like hydrogen and natural gas to reduce oil dependence.
Infrastructure support, such as charging stations, should be expanded to include non-electric alternative energies like biogas or hydrogen.
Aviation-related activities should recognize low-emission aircraft and sustainable fuels because zero-emission long-haul flight is not yet technically available.
