The European Clean Trucking Alliance (ECTA) reiterates its support for the HDV CO2 emission standards and expresses its concern regarding the amendment proposed in the Automotive Package presented on 12 December by the European Commission to modify the banking system for CO2 emissions from heavy duty vehicles. 

The CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles remain a landmark policy instrument to drive the transition to zero-emission road freight transport and to ensure the long-term availability and affordability of ZETs.

ECTA remains committed to working constructively with EU institutions and stakeholders to ensure that regulatory ambition, market realities and enabling conditions move forward together, delivering a credible and effective transition to zero-emission road freight transport.
