The proposal for a three-year averaging is a step in the right direction, aligning decarbonisation goals with real-world market and geopolitical challenges. It offers much-needed breathing room for car and van makers\u2014 but this must be complimented by meaningful demand incentives and widespread charging infrastructure deployment in order to address the fundamental hurdles to the transformation. As the latest market data shows, the demand for zero-emission vehicles is still far from where it needs to be with the market share of BEVs at just 15%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe call on the European Parliament and Council to ensure the fast adoption of this amendment,\u201d stated Sigrid de Vries, Director General of the European Automobile Manufacturers\u2019 Association (ACEA). \u201cThe next important step is then to thoroughly assess the transformation\u2019s overall progress, with a focus on refining the approach \u2013 not the end goal \u2013 where necessary. This is no less important for the commercial vehicles sector: with zero-emission trucks accounting for only 2% of all new registrations, this vehicle segment urgently needs an acceleration of the review of its CO2 standards to 2025, too, based on an assessment of the sectors\u2019 enabling conditions,\u201d added de Vries.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
