This was a hybrid event.
On 26 April, the European Parliament’s ENVI Committee met to exchange views on the Commission proposal strengthening the CO2 standards for new heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs).
This event, which is a part of the ERCST’s Paths to Decarbonized and Sustainable Transport Programme, explored the position of the Parliament’s ENVI committee on the proposal, through the lens developed under the Report 1, before other Members of the European Parliament propose amendments on the 4th of July. The meeting discussed the European Commission’s target for a 90% emissions reduction by 2040.
The ERCST project endorses the EU’s goal for a net zero energy system and heavy-duty vehicle sector by 2050, viewing zero emission vehicles as critical to achieving this. The project aims to evaluate current legislative measures, understand their impact on stakeholders, and explore the economic, environmental, and social effects of these policies while considering alternative or supplementary pathways to efficiently meet the set targets.
