CLEPA Secretary General, Benjamin Krieger, states: “We are committed to technology-open regulation, which is the most effective and efficient way to regulate CO2 emissions from transport. Automotive suppliers encourage steps to align the regulation more closely with these principles, a stance we have consistently upheld over past years, not only for cars vans but also extending to trucks.”
Mr. Krieger goes on to say: “The ability to leverage all technologies, from electrification solutions, including e-trailers, renewable fuels, and hydrogen is crucial for meeting ambitious climate targets and fostering innovation within the automotive industry. We welcome a timely agreement that includes these considerations and progress on already agreed steps for the further development of the regulation for the type-approval of vehicles running exclusively on renewable fuels.”
