Approach to CO2 emissions from new trucks to allow for more flexibility and technology neutrality

23 Oct Approach to CO2 emissions from new trucks to allow for more flexibility and technology neutrality

In view of tomorrow’s vote in the ENVI Committee on the revised CO2 emission standards from new heavy-duty vehicles, UETR supports greater flexibility and options to face the challenge of the climate objectives promoted by the European Union, allowing all valid and climate-friendly energies to be used to accelerate the general reduction of emissions.
This implies the inclusion of CO2 neutral fuels in the new rules, to facilitate the decarbonisation process, increase the resilience of the sector and offer greater technology-diversity.
In this respect, a joint letter to Rapporteur and MEPs has been sent by 21 associations representing the transport, engineering, fuel manufacturing industry and energy sectors.
