In December last year, the European Commission presented its Automotive Package, setting out legislative proposals that will shape the future of decarbonised transport in Europe, most notably the CO₂ regulation and the Corporate Fleet initiative.

As EU leaders meet this week to discuss competitiveness and climate targets, Eurelectric urges them to put electrification at the heart of Europe’s growth strategy, unveiling detailed recommendations and tools to make the transition faster, fairer and more competitive.
