CLEAN TRANSPORT ZONES - a new sticker design

The sticker is one of the ways of verifying vehicles authorized to enter a clean transportation zone is a sticker on the windshield, issued by the mayor of a municipality. Until now, the design of this sticker was determined by a regulation issued by the Ministry of Climate and Environment on March 31, 2022.
The Ministry of Climate and Environment has published a new simplified sticker design for vehicles authorized to enter clean transportation zones.
The change follows requests from local governments, which reported problems with the cost and difficulty of printing the existing design.
The new regulation gives municipalities the freedom to prepare and print these stickers.
The change is expected to make it easier to identify vehicles authorized to drive in clean transportation zones, and will come into effect on September 12, 2024

PZPM - VI Debate

First step taken but full electromobility yet a long way off. Although public transportation and public transport are on the way to complete electromobility, there are still many challenges ahead for heavy transport. Such as building the right charging infrastructure. And that's what Jakub Faryś - President of the Polish Automotive Industry Association - talks about in the latest episode of the @szczerze_o_pieniadzach program, with Ernest Bodziuch as host.

PZPM - V Debate on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the PZPM

Electric cars are not yet ecological motoring. To talk about such a thing, we need, first of all, ecological car production. And there is no turning back from this. What's more, the path towards it has already been marked. The only question is whether it is winding and bumpy or does it resemble an even and straight highway? Agnieszka Olenderek, Member of the Management Board of Volkswagen Poznań, and Jakub Faryś, President of PZPM, talk about this, and Ernest Bodziuch.

PZPM - IV Debate on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the PZPM

We invite you to watch the recording of the recent debate on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Polish Automotive Industry Association, with participation of Dr Jacek Pawlak President of Toyota Central Europe - Poland and Jacek Nowakowski Alternative Drives Director at IVECO. The debate was chaired by editor Ernest Bodziuch.
The future will belong to hydrogen. And it's not just about hydrogen as a fuel to power electric cars. Hydrogen can contribute to the next great revolution of the global economy. And Poland has the opportunity to play a significant role here. This is discussed in the latest debate on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of PZPM

Cyber security in the automotive industry: key steps in the fight against cyber threats

In the face of growing cyber-security threats, the automotive industry in Poland faces challenges including a lack of interdisciplinary design and standardized metrics for assessing cyber-security maturity, according to a report by KPMG in Poland and PZPM "Automotive industry. Summary data for H1 2024." The publication also analyzes the results of auto sales in Poland for the first half of 2024. During the period in question, 277,000 new passenger cars were registered in the Polish automotive market, 16% more than in the same period last year. In contrast, the truck segment saw a 10% year-on-year decline in sales. During the first half of 2024, as many as 145,000 alternative-powered vehicles were registered in Poland, 39.4% more than in the first half of 2023.

Automotive Industry, Quarterly report prepared by PZPM and KPMG, edition Q4 2023

In 2023, 475,000 new passenger cars were registered in Poland - 13.2% more than in 2022.
Better sales results were also recorded in vans, trucks, buses and motorbikes. Last year, sales of alternative-fuel passenger cars totalled 217,600 units, up 35.4% on the previous year. This is not only a result of changing consumer preferences, but also an opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to adjust their offers even more to the growing interest of ecological solutions. According to a report by PZPM and KPMG in Poland "Automotive industry, Q4/2023 edition", the previous year was also a better one for automotive factories in Poland, which produced 612.9 thousand vehicles - 26.7% more than in 2022.
