– Revision of the CO2 standards for cars, vans, and heavy-duty vehicles to help manufacturers meet their 2035 targets;
– Greening corporate fleets to accelerate the uptake of zero- and low-emission vehicles;
– Battery booster strategy with €1.8 billion for a fully EU-made battery value chain
– Automotive industry simplification to ease administrative burdens, cut costs and introduce a new vehicle category of small, affordable cars;
– Revised car labelling rules for consumers to have complete information about the cars’ emissions, empowering them to make more informed choices when buying a car.
This is what the European Commission is proposing in its new Automotive industry package, a set of rules for the industry and EU countries to adapt to clean mobility and a low-carbon economy, while ensuring the competitiveness of the industry.
