EMISSIONS: E-Mobility Europe Urges EU To Maintain 2025 Auto CO2 Targets

EMISSIONS

E-Mobility Europe is urging the EU to stick to its 2025 CO2 emission targets for automakers, emphasising that the rules could drive a significant rise in EV sales, the European industry group said, cited by Reuters.

  • Additionally, the group urges government incentives to boost EV adoption, warning that waiving fines for missed targets could hinder the transition to cleaner transportation.
  • Research from New Automotive indicates that the 2025 rules could boost EU EV sales by nearly 65% this year, compared to a 33% increase without them.
  • EVs accounted for 13.6% of new car sales in Europe in 2024, while EU's 2025 target requires over 20% of automakers' sales to be fully electric.
  • Europe's auto industry risks €15bn in fines, with calls to waive them.
  • Several companies are mulling the decision to pool CO2 credits to avoid fines, MNI previously reported.
