This would give manufacturers an extra three years to comply with the mandatory CO2 reduction targets. EU fleet limits set the maximum average CO2 emissions allowed for newly registered vehicles from each car…

It’s deeply concerning that the EPP amendments were adopted as they eviscerate the EU’s deforestation regulation.
