ACEA and PIK declare that by 2040 all new trucks sold need to be fossil-free

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 16, 2020

To develop their roadmap to carbon-neutrality by 2050 at the latest, the CEOs of Europe’s commercial vehicle manufacturers, under the umbrella of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), have joined forces with leading scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).

Otherwise, even the current reduction targets in fighting climate change are at risk. The targets should be allocated to each country based on a simple and fair methodology that takes into account factors like how much private charging is available, the letter said. —Oliver Zipse, ACEA president and CEO of BMW.

The greater the range, the greater the number of credits earned by the manufacturer, which in turn will reduce the number of ZEV sales the manufacturer will need to reach its target. The goal of the ZEV standard is to incentivize automobile manufacturers to build more models and use increasingly efficient low-carbon technology.
