It is stupid to change the prohibition rules now, says the car director

The car manufacturer's organization ACEA wants the EU to delay new emissions rules now. But it's downright stupid, says Stellantis' chief director Carlos Tavares.

While the car manufacturer's organization ACEA complains that their members risk billion-dollar stalls because motorists do not buy enough electric cars, Stellantis' chief director Carlos Tavares believes that it is too late to back out now.

This is written by the French news agency AFP, as quoted by Bloomberg.

– It would be unreal to change these rules now. Everyone has known about this tightening of the framework for a long time and has had time to prepare.

– Now is the time to compete, says Carlos Tavares in a comment to the French news agency.

The Stellantis brands withdrew from ACEA in 2022, and now Carlos Tavares believes that it is too late to howl about a possible penalty because there are too many internal combustion engines.

Carlos Tavares believes that ACEA's members have had years to prepare for the tighter regulations that were known to be coming.

On the other hand, ACEA chairman Luca de Meo, who is the managing director of Renault, says that he and the other car brands risk billions in fines if the rules are not changed now.

And he is actually right about that. Only two car manufacturers that supply or assemble cars to and in Europe can meet the tougher requirements from next year. It is Tesla and the Geely group.

Specifically, the car brands present in Europe must lower their average CO2 emissions from the current 116 grams to just 93.6 grams per car, if firewood is not to fall down.

Carlos Tavares, on the other hand, is something of a turncoat. He has also said that, in any case, Stellantis is ready to change his mind about electric cars if the political and popular mood moves in the direction of opposition to the type of car. Read more about it here .
