Le strategie di elettrificazione di Volvo e Volkswagen sono ambiziose e credibili e appaiono in linea con il piano di neutralità climatica fissato dall’Unione Europea. Ma quelli dei due costruttori sono casi isolati in un panorama tuttora critico per il settore automotive del Vecchio Continente. È la principale conclusione dell’ultimo studio realizzato da Transport & Environment (T&E).

Europe will set higher national climate targets for member states to ensure the bloc meets its 2030 emissions reduction goals in the road transport and heating sectors, the European Commission has said. Commission president Ursula von der Leyen confirmed last week the current system of regulations and national measures will continue as the main instrument to bring down carbon pollution from vehicles and housing - supported by a limited carbon price.

At current growth rates, shipping could represent some 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Which measures could reduce its contribution to climate change?

Lo studio di BloombergNEF prevede che tra il 2025 e il 2027 tutti i segmenti di veicoli saranno più convenienti di quelli a motore termico. Determinante il crollo del prezzo delle batterie. Per incentivare il passaggio, fondamentale che la Ue fissi una data di phase out delle auto tradizionali e si diffonda una capillare rete di infrastrutture di ricarica

Léonore Moncond'huy’s rise to fame was fast and furious. The green mayor of Poitiers, a town in France, sparked nationwide uproar by saying that “aviation should no longer be part of today’s children's dreams.”

A three-year effort to drive finance into the green economy by classifying certain types of investments as sustainable is in danger of being seriously compromised, environmental and consumer organisations have said. Six groups have withdrawn from an EU expert body in protest at the greenwashing of forestry and biomass projects. The groups expect a response in the coming days from the EU Commission to its demands to preserve the integrity of the taxonomy law, which is supposed to be based on scientific evidence.

Public support for an end to sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2030 is greater than previously thought, according to a new opinion poll commissioned by T&E. The poll shows perhaps surprisingly high levels of people in favour in central, southern and eastern Europe, and support is greater among those who have suffered from Covid-19. T&E says EU lawmakers should set a date for the last sales of combustion engine cars this summer.

EU lawmakers should set an end date for selling new combustion engine cars in Europe no later than 2035, 27 companies have said in a joint appeal today.[1] The open call will continue to gather support for a phase-out ahead of the review of EU car and van CO2 standards in June. The companies, which include IKEA Retail, Sky, Uber, Vattenfall and Volvo Cars, represent a wide range of industries. They say a fixed date will send a clear investment signal for car manufacturers, supply chains and infrastructure providers and will enable all businesses to decarbonise their vehicle fleets.

Tutte insieme hanno un fatturato che sfiora il PIL della Danimarca e danno lavoro a tante persone quanti sono gli abitanti di Torino. 27 grandi aziende europee – tra loro, nomi del calibro di Coca-Cola European Partners, IKEA Retail, SKY, Uber, Volvo alle quali si aggiungono le italiane Enel X e Novamont – e 6 associazioni dei comparti automotive, energia, sanità e finanza hanno sottoscritto un appello congiunto rivolto alle istituzioni comunitarie e ai governi degli Stati membri dell'Unione Europea. Molto preciso l'obiettivo: arrivare a dichiarare il divieto di vendita di auto alimentate da motori a combustione interna (diesel, benzina e persino ibride) non più tardi del 2035.

Environmental and consumer organisations are pulling out of an EU expert group in protest at the European Commission’s decision today to classify destructive forestry practices and highly-emitting types of biomass as sustainable investments. The new rules are not based on climate and environmental science and ignore the recommendations of the EU expert group on sustainable finance, the organisations said.
