Transport and Environment (European Federation for Transport and Environment), 15 Dec 2017
The organization requests the EC shall also introduce a ZEV mandate or benchmark for trucks and buses.

Stricter standards would directly advance the organization's core mission to decarbonize European transport.
Truck manufacturers would face higher production costs and the loss of flexible compliance mechanisms.
