Conference - The road to zero emissions: a command or a road map?
On December 5, a conference entitled “The Road to Zero Emissions: Mandate or Roadmap”
was held, organized by the Polish Automotive Industry Association, the Polish Leasing Association, and the Polish Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association.
The conference brought together key stakeholders in the legislative process concerning the decarbonization of fleets in the EU—government representatives, MEPs, including Bartosz Arabik, Stanisław Bukowiec, Konrad Wojnarowski, Ewa Baryłka, and industry experts. The panel entitled “Fleet decarbonization: a realistic plan or an excessive burden?” was moderated by Jakub Faryś, President of PZPM. Participants focused on assessing the impact of the proposed regulations on the Polish economy, entrepreneurs, and the mobility market.
During the second debate, entitled “Review of CO₂ emission reduction targets in the EU and the Clean Corporate Vehicles initiative: which direction will legislation take?”, they discussed the role of the European Parliament in the legislative process and the possibilities of influencing the shape of the GCFI initiative at the EU level.
The meeting took place on the eve of the European Commission's presentation of the Greening Corporate Fleet (GCFI) initiative, new CO₂ emission standards for fleets, and a battery strategy—a package that could significantly change the operation of corporate fleets across the EU.
European Parliament members presented their assessments of the GCFI project and attempted to answer the question of what role they can play, what arguments are effective in Brussels, and how the industry and the Polish government can support legislative measures that benefit Polish companies and employees.
