The European People's Party urges the European Commission to act quickly as the automotive sector faces significant fines due to upcoming stricter CO2 emissions standards. Car manufacturers are struggling with electric vehicle sales, leading to concerns about compliance with new limits. The EPP suggests temporary relief measures and a revision of the 2035 emissions limit, advocating for a technological neutral approach. Critics argue that alternative fuels cannot compete with direct electrification, and industry leaders emphasize the need for a supportive regulatory framework to maintain competitiveness.
