Agreement between the EU institutions on the regulation on CO2 emissions for new heavy vehicles, one of the last Green Deal dossiers still open.
The agreed objectives include a 45% reduction in emissions by 2030, 65% by 2035, and 90% by 2040, in addition to the 15% target by 2025 already foreseen by current legislation.
The targets will apply to heavy vehicles over 7.5 tonnes and buses.
For new city buses, a 90% emissions cut is expected by 2030, to then reach zero emissions by 2035.
In 2027 the EU will conduct an intermediate evaluation of the objectives.
