Automotive Package” delivers first important step to amending CO2 legislation for cars and vans
Jakub Faryś, President of PZPM,
sums up: "First impressions after the European Commission published the automotive package are positive; it's a good start.
The change in the reduction target for passenger cars for 2035, while taking into account technological neutrality, and increasing flexibility in achieving individual reduction thresholds is a good sign.
However, apart from revising the emission target for vans, the European Commission has not addressed the emission targets for 2030, and achieving them may be very difficult. We still do not know what the regulations on greening corporate fleets will look like, or when a general review of emissions regulations will take place, which is important because it will include information on infrastructure and the situation of the industry in addition to the state of the market. Similarly, we do not know the details of the regulations on heavy-duty vehicles.
It is too early to make a final statement on the entire package, as we now need to analyse it thoroughly, and then we will be able to say more about the proposals presented and their expected impact on the European and Polish automotive industry.
