Criza din industria auto: Germania și Franța cer UE relaxarea restricțiilor privind mașinile termice după 2035 • Newsweek România

Germany and France are urging the EU to relax restrictions on internal combustion engine vehicles after 2035 due to the automotive crisis. The crisis, driven by electrification costs and competition from cheaper Chinese cars, has prompted both countries to seek a common position. They aim to modify EU regulations to allow for a 10% reduction in emissions targets without equivalent compensation. This agreement comes as European automakers face increasing pressure from the Chinese market and seek more flexibility in transitioning to electric vehicles. The situation highlights the need for a stronger trade policy against China while supporting local industries.
