Brussels, 8 May 2025 \u2013 The European Automobile Manufacturers\u2019 Association (ACEA) welcomes both the European Parliament\u2019s and Council\u2019s support for a three-year averaging mechanism for emissions compliance for cars and vans.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The proposed three-year averaging framework offers car and van manufacturers much-needed flexibility in meeting CO2 targets at this important moment in our transition toward zero-emission mobility, accommodating fluctuations in market demand and production cycles. This approach is particularly important given the ongoing lack of enabling conditions and the impact this is having by causing slower-than-needed consumer uptake of electric models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe introduction of a three-year averaging mechanism is a step in the right direction that acknowledges the complexities and the ongoing difficulties of the automotive market, with slow market uptake and a lack of domestic value chain for batteries,\u201d stated Sigrid de Vries, ACEA Director General. \u201cWhile this provides some necessary flexibility for manufacturers in the short term, we need a long-term decarbonisation strategy including more charging stations, purchase and tax incentives,\u00a0fairer energy prices while keeping the industry a competitive powerhouse and securing the EU\u2019s strategic autonomy on critical technologies. We look forward to discussing this during the next Strategic Dialogue with the European Commission.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming review of the CO2 regulation for cars and vans envisaged under the EU\u2019s Automotive Action Plan must be robust and comprehensive. Immediate flexibilities alone are not sufficient to get the transition back on track, and the review will be an essential element of framing a long-term decarbonisation strategy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
