UFE answer to the Roadmap on on the Amendment of the Regulation setting CO2 emission standards for cars and vans

In its response to the EC consultation on the Roadmap for the revision of performance standards for light-duty vehicles, UFE supports the strengthening of CO2 emission standards for cars and vans in the framework of the EU Green Deal objectives

UFE welcomes the revision of the Regulation 2019/631/EU establishing CO2 emission standards for cars and vans in order to align them with the objectives of the EU Green Deal. CO2 emission standards are an efficient tool to reduce the emissions from the transport sector and increase the supply of zero-emission vehicles. They should be preferred to the option of extending the EU-ETS system to road transport to decarbonise the transport sector in Europe.
