The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has expressed its approval for the backing received from both the European Parliament and the Council regarding the implementation of a three-year averaging mechanism for emissions compliance pertaining to cars and vans.
The ACEA’s positive response to this development underscores the industry’s recognition of the need for a more flexible approach to emissions regulations. By supporting the three-year averaging mechanism, the EU legislative bodies have acknowledged the complexities involved in achieving stringent emissions targets while allowing manufacturers some degree of flexibility in their compliance strategies.
This decision is seen as a balanced approach that takes into account the industry’s production cycles and the need for gradual adaptation to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The ACEA’s welcome of this move suggests that the automotive industry is likely to work closely with EU regulators to ensure effective implementation of the emissions compliance framework.
