"One year on, Putin's perfidious plans continue to be foiled by the brave Ukrainian nation.

One year on, Russia is isolated from Europe and on the world stage.

One year on, Ukraine's dreams are stronger than ever. And they will prevail."

"What keeps the people of Ukraine going amid the horrors of war.

Even after Bucha and Irpin or the bombing of Mariupol and Dnipro.

99% of heavy-duty vehicles in the EU fleet currently run on internal combustion engines.

We are proposing to make all new city buses zero-emission as of 2030, and 90% emissions reductions for new trucks by 2040.

Stronger CO2 emissions standards for new heavy-duty vehicles are crucial to achieving the EU climate goals.

Today we are proposing that new trucks become less polluting and that more buses with zero emissions will ride through our cities from 2030 onwards.
