The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) and the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) have called on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to recalibrate climate policy towards the automotive sector. The signatories of the letter emphasised that the industry has already invested over EUR 250 billion in the development of low- and zero-emission technologies and launched hundreds of electric vehicle models on the market, but without parallel regulatory and investment support, climate targets may prove unattainable.
The appeal by ACEA, of which PZPM is a member, is of great importance to the Polish automotive industry. It is a clear signal that the future of the industry depends not only on climate ambitions, but also on the creation of a coherent, realistic framework to support the transition, both in Poland and throughout the European Union. This is particularly important for us, as Poland is one of the key automotive production centres in Europe – both in terms of vehicles and engines.
The ACEA and CLEPA letter highlights fundamental challenges: the lack of sufficient hydrogen refuelling and charging infrastructure, dependence on the Asian battery supply chain, high energy and production costs, and unfair competition law in the global market (e.g. customs duties in the US). As a result, the share of electric vehicles remains low – around 15% of new passenger cars, 9% of vans and 3.5% of trucks – which does not allow climate targets to be met at the current pace.

New commercial vehicle registrations: vans -13.2%, trucks -15.4%, buses -4.4% in H1 2025

The first half of 2025 proved challenging for the EU's commercial vehicle market, marked by significant registration declines in key markets, amidst an already challenging economic context. While the electrically-chargeable share increased, the growth trajectory is still not fast enough as market uptake continues to be stymied by the near absence of essential enabling conditions.
