We already know that the European horizon for the automotive sector involves total electrification and the absence of combustion engines that do not use synthetic fuels. However, although many of us are already thinking about 2035, before then, in 2025 and more specifically on July 1, the regulation that seeks to reduce air pollutant emissions from road transport, popularly known as the ‘Euro 7 standard’, will come into force.
A measure that has been rejected and branded as counterproductive by a large part of the companies that dominate the automotive sector, including, for example, Stellantis, which through its CEO, Carlos Tavares, confirmed that “Europe does not need the Euro 7 standard,” confirming that the big beneficiaries will be Chinese manufacturers. And even last May, no less than eight European countries (France, Italy, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia) signed a document to completely eliminate it.
