The Association of International Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (VDIK) rejects possible plans by the European Commission to only allow rental car providers and large companies to register electric cars from 2030. The VDIK supports Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder, who have already spoken out against such EU regulation.<\/p>\n
“Constant changes to targets and specifications will not drive the ramp-up of electromobility forward, nor will small-scale bureaucratic regulation. The international vehicle manufacturers are fighting to achieve the CO2 fleet limits over the next three years. Politicians must focus primarily on the issues of charging infrastructure and electricity prices. For a continuous ramp-up of electromobility, we need a reliable industry plan with all the players involved. Electric quotas for fleet operators are completely unsuitable as long as the framework conditions in Europe are not yet sufficient for the ramp-up of electromobility. The VDIK therefore rejects mandatory e-car quotas for company fleets or rental car providers from 2030 onwards. What we need are accompanying support instruments for the private and used car market,” says VDIK President Imelda Labb\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Back in March, the Commission announced that it would present a legislative proposal on reducing emissions from company cars by the end of the year, taking various technologies into account. A new regulation must be approved by the EU Council and the EU Parliament. A corresponding regulation would affect a large part of the market. Around 60 percent of all new cars in the EU are registered to commercial owners and rental companies, and around 40 percent to private customers.<\/p>\n
