EU car emission limits face pushback from eight members


article view

France, Italy and the Czech Republic are among eight countries pushing to weaken new EU emissions limits for cars, saying they are overly ambitious and unrealistic for automakers to hit.
From 2025 European Union countries and lawmakers would tighten vehicle emission limits for pollutants including nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.
The eight countries said parts of the law, including curbs on exhaust pipe emissions, should be scrapped entirely.
The EU has already agreed that by 2035, all new cars sold in the bloc must have zero CO2 emissions.That law was eventually approved this year after pushback from countries including Germany, which won an exemption for cars running on e-fuels.

                    The said countries must have had vested interest and that might pose a huge challenge in achieving carbon free goals in the transport sector.I hope they rethink their ill decisions

                      It is not surprising that some European Union members are pushing back against the proposed emissions limits put forward by the EU. As stricter environmental standards can require significant changes to businesses and economies, the costs associated with implementing them can be significant. However, it is essential that action is taken to reduce emissions to ensure a healthier, more sustainable planet for future generations.
