‘No Longer Feasible’: European Carmakers Call On The EU To Tweak CO2 Targets

• The heads of the European carmakers’ and automotive suppliers’ associations want the EU to soften the blow of the upcoming CO2 targets.
• Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kallenius and Schaeffler CEO Matthias Zink said in a joint statement that the industry is being asked to transform with its hands tied behind its back.
• “Meeting the rigid car and van CO2 targets for 2030 and 2035 is, in today’s world, simply no longer feasible,” the two representatives added.
