flag European truckmakers ask EU to ease emissions rules due to high EV costs and poor charging infrastructure.

flag European truckmakers including Volvo, Scania, and Daimler are urging the EU to relax CO2 emissions targets, citing high electric truck costs and inadequate charging infrastructure. flag They seek to change the credit system to allow credits for merely meeting targets, not exceeding them, arguing current rules are too strict. flag The move could delay the shift to zero-emission trucks, potentially reducing their sales by nearly a third by 2030. flag Critics warn this would undermine long-term climate goals and infrastructure investment, while industry leaders point to competition from affordable Chinese EVs as a major challenge.
