Decarbonizing transportation is one of the key tasks to achieve the EU’s climate goals. It is estimated that transportation generates about 25 percent. EU greenhouse gas emissions. Will environmental passports help with this? To reduce emissions, the European Council on April 12, 2024. adopted the European Parliament’s position on the new regulations on emissions from cars, vans and trucks, the so-called “new rules”. Euro 7 regulation. Implementation of the amendment is necessary to regulate emissions from cars and vans by 2035.

EU climate targets for transport

The Paris Agreement commits member states to actions that will make the European Union climate-neutral by 2050. To this end, the EU wants by 2030. Reduce all its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent. Compared to 1990 emissions. The next step is to further reduce emissions by 2050. The transportation sector, in order to be part of this trend, must undergo a transformation that will eliminate 90 percent by the appointed date. its emissions.

According to information posted on the European Commission’s website, emission reductions for transportation are progressing more slowly than in other sectors of the economy. In order to implement it more effectively, additional measures are being taken to reform transportation in a greener direction.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation is a global challenge. To this end, the United Nations has also adopted a global strategy for decarbonizing land transportation, and more information on this can be found in a previous article: Global Transport Decarbonization Strategy Adopted by the United Nations .

Euro 7 Regulation

The Euro 7 regulation is part of the European Commission’s comprehensive 2020 Strategy for Sustainable and Smart Mobility. and the 2021 Pollution Elimination Action Plan. It was presented by the EC on November 10, 2022. The Council and the European Parliament have reached a preliminary political agreement to the document on December 18, 2023.

On April 19, 2023. The European Parliament and the Council have adopted Regulation (EU) 2023/851 to tightenCO2 emission standards for new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles. It provides for 100 percent. emissions reductions by 2035. For both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. While the industry will be preparing for this change – meaning that from 2035. new internal combustion cars and vans may not appear on the internal market – such vehicles will already be available. Other internal combustion vehicles (trucks, buses and other heavy machinery) will continue to be produced, even after this date.

Euro 7 regulations are needed to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from cars and vans by 2035. Other provisions of the regulation (e.g., on brakes, tires and battery life) will continue to apply to new, greener cars and vans even after 2035.

Green passports for cars?

According to the adopted Euro 7 regulation, an environmental passport will be issued for each vehicle. The document will be in digital form and will provide information on the environmental performance of the vehicle at the time of registration, including the level of emission limits, CO2, fuel and electricity consumption, electric vehicle range and power of the internal combustion or electric engine, as well as battery life and other related values. The environmental data of each type of vehicle is to be made available to its users.

When will the new regulations take effect?

After the European Council adopts the European Parliament’s position, the document will be published in the Official Journal of the Union and will enter into force on the twentieth day after it is made public.

The date from which the regulation will apply depends on the type of vehicle and is:

  • 30 months for new types of cars and vans and 42 months for new cars and vans;
  • 48 months for new types of buses, trucks and trailers and 60 months for new buses, trucks and trailers;
  • 30 months for new systems, components or separate technical assemblies installed in cars and vans, and 48 months for those installed in buses, trucks and trailers.
