CO2 fleet targets for trucks: Transport Committee wants to lower ambition level

The EU Parliament’s Transport Committee (TRAN) voted on Tuesday on its opinion on CO2 fleet limits for heavy-duty vehicles. MEPs voted to allow manufacturers to count the use of fuels deemed CO2-neutral under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) as emission savings for their truck fleets. In addition to synthetic e-fuels, this would also include biofuels based on palm oil, soy or rapeseed. The Commission had still ruled this out.
