RT @MamerEric: Europe is on the road to greener transport.
Our next step is to reduce emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles.
➡️Today @EU_Commission proposes that new city buses should be zero-emission from 2030, and other HDVs should reduce emissions by 90% from 2040.

Clear support from @europarl_en for putting 🇪🇺 car industry on the road to zero-emission.
With this vote, EU citizens can drive clean, affordable cars. The global transition is happening, and EU car industry is ready to lead it.

Why is this important❓
🔹we will cut CO2 emissions
🔸improve air quality
🔹lower 🇪🇺 dependence on fossil fuels
🔸accelerate roll-out of E-charging
🔹boost clean industry
🔸meet our climate goals

To become climate-neutral by 2050, we need clean transport.
➡That's why we are proposing stronger new CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles from 2030.
Our new proposal covers more vehicles – smaller trucks, city buses, long-distance buses and trailers.

Did you know that road transport is responsible for:
🟢 20% of total 🇪🇺 greenhouse gas emissions and that’s on the rise
More than a quarter of those emissions come from heavy-duty vehicles (trucks and buses) with internal combustion engines.

26 types of PFAs chemicals found in #Arctic’s ice.
Extremely worrying.
The meltwater can contain a cocktail of contaminants that harm the environment & its animals.
With @ThierryBreton we are committed to phase out all non-essential uses of PFAS.
