The CO2 emission performance standards regulation only concerns new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles . Heritage vehicles are therefore not affected by this regulation.
The European Climate Law[1] concerns the overall EU greenhouse gas emissions. Since mobile heritage only represent an extremely small part of the existing stock, the economy-wide emissions reduction objectives are unlikely to affect those.
The Commission is committed to provide support to European industries, which are currently faced with high energy costs and fierce global competition.
The Clean Industrial Deal Communication[2] outlines concrete actions to turn decarbonisation into a driver of competitiveness. Specifically for the European automotive sector, the Commission has recently adopted an industrial plan[3], aimed to tackle the challenges caused by rapid technological changes and increasing competition.
The automotive industry is a core engine of European prosperity and an essential part of Europe’s identity. The EU is committed to safeguarding and enhancing Europe’s industrial and mobile heritage through a number of policies and programmes.
