Gia Motors News According to Bloomberg and Reuters, a document published on the Austrian Parliament website shows that Austria, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Slovakia have joined the Czech Republic and Italy in urging the EU to find a solution to avoid fines for automakers that fail to meet the EU’s new 2025 carbon emission targets.
Photo source: European Union, starting from 2025, the European Union will reduce the average carbon emission limit for newly sold vehicles from 116 grams per kilometer to 94 grams per kilometer.
If one extra gram of carbon dioxide emissions per kilometer is emitted, the automaker will face a fine of 95 euros (about US$103) per vehicle, and the total fine will be multiplied by the number of models sold.
, It is reported that as part of the European Green Deal, the EU’s stricter carbon emission limits next year are an important step towards a plan to ban the sale of new fuel-engine vehicles in 2035.
The EU Green New Deal aims to combat climate change and reduce pollution, but the policy has aroused opposition from some EU countries.
, The seven EU countries said in the joint proposal: “Currently, the European automotive industry is at a critical moment and faces major challenges related to production, employment and global competition, which requires urgent action from the EU.
The EU’s next five-year legislative cycle provides an opportunity to better align automotive industry policies with the EU’s broader decarbonization and competitiveness goals.
“, The joint proposal also said: “The EU is currently scheduled to implement new passenger car carbon emission targets in 2025, but due to the slowdown in sales of pure electric vehicles, automakers who cannot meet these strict requirements may face fines.
” Such penalties would severely limit the automotive industry’s ability to reinvest in innovation and development, thereby undermining the competitiveness of the European automotive industry on the global stage.
“, The above-mentioned EU-7 countries also mentioned that they support the EU in taking appropriate measures and fiscal means, including a potential short-term package, to ensure that the competitiveness of the European automobile industry is not further damaged and on this basis promote the transformation of the European automobile industry.
, In the joint proposal, the seven countries also called on the European Union to evaluate carbon emission standards for new passenger cars and new vans, and said the EU also needs to regulate this to prevent the outflow of investment in clean energy technology research and development.
At the same time, they added that the EU may also need to evaluate other related measures, such as laws on renewable energy, alternative fuel infrastructure and the EU emissions trading system.
Improving the status of European carmakers on the global stage is one of the main priorities of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her second term.
On November 27, the European Parliament voted to approve the new European Commission’s list.
At that time, Ursula von der Leyen told MPs that the European automobile industry is the pride of Europe and promised to ensure the future of European automobiles.
