EU emissions reprieve for carmakers may slow EV shift
European Commission's proposal to ease emission targets would enable struggling automakers to keep profits flowing from fossil fuel models but could potentially stall Europe's shift to electric vehicles and climate progress.
European car companies, already beset by Chinese competition, had been warning that they would struggle to meet the ambitious 2025 carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction target, which exposed the sector to hefty fines.
The European Union's executive arm proposed on Monday to give automakers three years to meet the target, a change that must now be approved by EU states and the bloc's parliament.
Automakers worried that they would not meet the goal due to disappointing sales of electric vehicles (EV) in Europe and fierce Chinese competition.
EV sales accounted for just 13.6 percent of new car registrations in 2024, raising serious doubts that the EU goal of 25 percent for 2025 would be met.
