Truck fleet limits: Rapporteur wants to phase out combustion engines in 2040

Yannick Jadot (Greens), rapporteur for CO2 fleet limits for heavy-duty vehicles, wants to tighten up the Commission’s proposal significantly. He proposes that a ban on internal combustion engines for heavy-duty vehicles come in 2040. The Commission had not proposed a complete ban on internal combustion engines in 2040, but a 90 percent reduction in manufacturers’ CO2 fleet limits. Under the Commission’s proposal, it would have been possible to operate commercial vehicles with hydrogen combustion engines, for example, even beyond 2040.
