European car manufacturers want to call on the EU Commission to either postpone the CO2 fleet regulation targets for passenger cars for 2025 by two years or make serious adjustments. Renault CEO Luca de Meo, currently ACEA President, wants the EU umbrella organization ACEA to have the Commission’s initiative approved by the Executive Committee on Wednesday. The Commission will be asked to postpone the 2025 targets by two years under Article 122 of the European Treaties. Article 122 is regarded as an emergency clause in the EU constitution. The CEOs of the manufacturers are represented on the ACEA Executive Committee.
