European car manufacturers could be three years old, instead, to comply with CO2 emissions of the European Union (EU) by 2025 on cars and utilitarian vehicles, it shows a proposal published on Tuesday by the European Commission. Entry of this year, the limits of the EU in terms of carbon dioxide emissions for carbon manufacturers require that at least a fifth of their sales are electric vehicles.
Already faced with greater competition, the weakening of the demand for electric vehicles and the tasks of US customs, European car manufacturers were concerned with having to pay significant fines and requested a relaxation.
Based on average emissions during the 2025-2027 period
According to the proposal published on Tuesday, the EU could be based on the average emissions of a car manufacturer during the 2025-2027 period, instead of the emissions registered this year, to comply with the rules related to CO2 emissions by 2025.
“With today’s initiative, we give more flexibility to this key sector, while maintaining the course on our climate objective,” said the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, in a press release.
The modification proposal presented on Tuesday requires the approval of the European Parliament and the EU member countries. Last month, the European Commission confirmed its other objective that all new cars and trucks sold in the EU since 2035 will no longer have to issue CO2, as well as an intermediate objective for the reduction of emissions by 2030.
