Lkw CO2 Verkehr Autobahn Emissionen — CO2 emissions from coaches and trucks are to be reduced by 90 percent by 2040.

Following the last-minute agreement in the Council, the EU parliamentarians have now voted on the revised CO2 fleet limits for heavy commercial vehicles. Although there was a majority in favor of the law, significant concerns remain.

The EU Parliament’s Environment Committee (ENVI) has voted by a majority in favor of revising the CO2 fleet limits for heavy commercial vehicles. However, with 47 votes in favor and 30 against, the result was by no means clear-cut. This is due to the EPP’s rejection. Shadow rapporteur Jens Gieseke (CDU) criticized the „lack of technological openness“ in the legislative proposal and announced that the EPP also wanted to reject it in plenary.
