Fuel prices in France have risen significantly since the start of the war in Iran in February, with unleaded 95 gasoline increasing from an average of just over 1.70 euros per liter to more than 2.20 euros per liter. This increase highlights the country's continued dependence on thermal vehicles, as 93% of the French vehicle fleet remains composed of gasoline or diesel vehicles. The transport sector is the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country, accounting for 34% of total emissions. Political choices, including tax incentives, support for vehicle electrification, development of collective transport, and eco-penalties on polluting vehicles, have influenced this situation. In the National Assembly, there is a clear divide between the left bloc (79% to 86% of votes in favor of reducing dependence on gasoline vehicles) and the Macronist EPR group (43%) to the National Rally (9%). Various political groups have proposed solutions to address the rise in fuel prices, including reducing VAT on fuels, freezing fuel prices at the pump, and removing VAT on TICPE (excise on energy products). However, these measures have faced opposition or failed to pass, often due to concerns about benefiting affluent households and exacerbating dependence on fossil fuels. The ecological penalty on polluting vehicles, including the "weight penalty" and "CO2 penalty," has been debated in the National Assembly. The RN and its allies have opposed these taxes, while the unbound and ecologists have supported their strengthening to discourage the purchase of heavy vehicles and promote smaller, less fuel-hungry cars. The tightening of these taxes has been a point of contention, with the RN and UDR opposing measures to lower the threshold for triggering the weight penalty. The ban on the sale of new thermal cars by 2035, established by the European Union, has been challenged in the National Assembly. The RN and its allies have opposed this measure, while the left has supported it. Charging systems for electric vehicles have also been a topic of debate, with the extension of tax credits for their installation receiving limited support. Efforts to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles have included measures such as reserving annual incentive taxes for electric cars rather than hybrid rechargeable vehicles and integrating retrofitting into the obligations of renewal of company vehicle fleets. However, these initiatives have faced opposition from the Macronist group and others. Road and highway construction has been another contentious issue, with the left opposing the construction of new roads and highways, while the center to far right have supported it. The RN has proposed measures to reduce the tax on the distance traveled on the highway network and the tax on the operation of long-distance transport infrastructure, though these have faced limited support. Public transport and cycling infrastructure have been proposed as alternatives to the car, with the left supporting measures such as reducing VAT on public transport services, increasing the budget for the railway, and developing cycling infrastructure. However, these proposals have faced opposition from the center, right, and far right. Low-emission zones (ZFE) aimed at reducing air pollution have been contested in the National Assembly, with the LR and RN deputies proposing their deletion. However, this deletion was later censored by the Constitutional Council. The effectiveness of ZFE depends on the development of credible alternatives such as public transport and cycling infrastructure. The current energy crisis highlights the political choices that have led to continued dependence on thermal vehicles. As the presidential election approaches, the political responses to reduce consumption through sobriety measures remain absent from the debates, raising questions about the future direction of energy and transportation policies in France.
