Times of IndiaNo chargers, no deal: Europe's biggest truckmakers push back against the 2030 climate deadline
Europe's leading truckmakers want the EU to postpone 2030 emissions targets by three years. They cite insufficient charging stations and high energy costs as major business hurdles. Currently, only a small fraction of new heavy-duty vehicles are zero-emission. The industry needs significant sales increases to meet upcoming regulations. Truckmakers also ask for accelerated charging infrastructure development and grid connection improvements.
Truckmakers Urge EU to Delay CO2 Targets Amid Infrastructure Challenges
European truck manufacturers are appealing to the EU to delay 2030 CO2 reduction targets for three years, citing inadequate charging infrastructure and high energy costs as barriers. Currently, only 2.4% of new heavy-duty vehicles are zero-emission, far short of the 2030 mandate, prompting calls for policy adjustments to encourage infrastructure development.
Manufacturers, stating that zero-emission vehicles are not commercially viable due to inadequate charging networks and high energy costs, requested a three-year postponement of compliance with the 2030 CO2 target.
