Response to Revision of the CO2 emission standards for cars and vans

10 Oct 2025

The Automotive Industry Association of the Slovak Republic (ZAP SR) fully supports the European Unions climate neutrality objectives. However, the current CO regulation pathway, including the 100% reduction target by 2035, is no longer realistic under current market, industrial and infrastructure conditions. We echo ACEAs view that a successful transition to zero-emission mobility must be based on technology neutrality, economic viability, and a balanced policy framework that safeguards competitiveness and social cohesion. The transition to zero-emission mobility must remain affordable and socially inclusive. EU regulation should acknowledge income disparities and the different levels of market readiness across Member States. Maintaining access to affordable vehicles is a key prerequisite for public support of the climate agenda and the overall transition. For these reasons, we fully support the ACEA submission to this public consultation.
