From Acea they ensure that it can slow down the transition to emission-free transport
The European Association of Vehicle Manufacturers (ACEA) has expressed “concern” over the proposal from the
European Commission on the emission regulations for cars and vans (‘Euro 7’) and also those related to trucks and buses (‘Euro VII’) presented on Thursday, as it considers the transition to the transport of ‘zero emissions’.
They believe that the planned implementation dates for the Euro7/VII regulation (July 2025 for cars and vans and July 2027 for heavy vehicles) are unrealistic due to the “high number of
models and variants of vehicles« to be developed, designed, tested and approved before that date.
From his point of view, with the Euro 6/VI standards, the European Union (EU) has already
the most complete and strict standards polluting vehicle emissions in the world«, and insist that car emissions in the region “already at a barely measurable level” thanks to technological improvements.
“Unfortunately, the environmental benefit of the (European) Commission proposal is very limited, while it significantly increases the cost of vehicles. It focuses on extreme driving conditions that have little relevance in real life,” they appreciate from Acea.
In a statement from this association, they explain that the ‘Euro VII’ proposal is “particularly difficult for trucks”, as
completely ignores accelerated change towards zero-emission vehicles and “negates the impact of future CO2 targets for heavy-duty vehicles”.
According to the Volvo Group CEO and president of ACEA’s commercial vehicles section,
Martin Lundstedt Lawmakers should focus on measures that “accelerate fleet renewal” and prioritize investments in zero-emission vehicles, which they believe will have a “much greater” impact on both air quality and emissions reduction.
