Manufacturers of commercial vehicles must reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new vehicles.

The European Parliament adopted the political agreement on CO2 fleet limits for heavy commercial vehicles on Wednesday. There will be no end to combustion engines for commercial vehicles. CO2 emissions are to be reduced by 45 percent by 2030, 65 percent by 2035 and 90 percent by 2040. There are also regulations for the CO2 emissions of trailers and semi-trailers. The attempt to reopen the compromise for climate-neutral fuels was rejected. Before the vote, the Commission promised to present a proposal for the operation of commercial vehicles with climate-neutral fuels in the near future. mgr
