EMISSIONS: EU Countries Seek No Fines For Automakers With New Emissions Targets

EMISSIONS
BulletPower BulletsEnergy BulletsCommodities

Austria, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Italy are seeking to prevent automakers from facing penalties from 2025, a document published on the Austrian parliament website showed, cited by Reuters. 

  • EU regulations require average emissions from newly registered cars to be 15% lower in 2025 compared to 2021 levels.
  • The EU will lower the cap on average emissions from new vehicle sales to 94 grams/km from 116 g/km from 2025.
  • Exceeding that cap could lead to fines of €95 per excess carbon dioxide g/km multiplied by the number of vehicles sold.
  • The slowing uptake in EV sales makes achieving the target more difficult, countries have argued.
  • "Such penalties would severely limit the ability of industry to reinvest in innovation and development, thus harming Europe’s competitiveness on the global stage”, the document said.
  • This is following remarks from Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz earlier this week, urging the EU carmakers should not face fines if failing to meet the new targets.
