The EU Green Deal has received mixed reactions from the automotive industry, which is facing strict CO2 emission targets and a transition to electric vehicles (EVs). The sector is under pressure to adapt while competing globally, particularly against Chinese EV brands. Key figures like MEP Jens Gieseke advocate for a balanced approach to technology, while industry representatives express concerns over infrastructure and job losses. The debate continues over the future of ICE vehicles and the necessary conditions for a successful transition to green mobility.
