As European trade, together with gas and automotive suppliers, car producers, sellers, repairers and transport operators we eagerly anticipate the European Fee proposal on the revision of the CO2 Regulation for Heavy-Responsibility Autos (HDVs). Heavy-Responsibility transport is a crucial sector for the functioning of the inner market and an acceptable regulatory framework shall assist the event of unpolluted autos utilizing totally different applied sciences and fuels. Decarbonisation is a right away problem and all choices that may have a speedy affect have to be enabled.
Sustainable and renewable fuels can velocity up the method and contribute to achievement of the “Match for 55” and the total decarbonisation targets in street transport.
The signatories of this letter welcome the revision of the CO2 requirements for HDVs according to the “Match for 55” goals and imagine {that a} recognition of all CO2 emission discount pathways alongside the complete worth chain is crucial. Transport operators and car producers should be inspired to think about cleaner gas options to fossil fuels, instantly out there immediately, together with liquid and gaseous renewable and artificial fuels. Relying on use circumstances, know-how variety is required the place all applied sciences, together with electrification/hybridisation, hydrogen, but additionally sustainable and renewable fuels can play a task.
The undersigned organisations suggest that sustainable and renewable fuels are thought of for compliance within the CO2 Regulation for HDVs. Together with such a provision within the Regulation would assist the EU’s Inexperienced Deal goals and speed up the decarbonisation of the business transport sector.
