The targets of reducing gas emissions that cause the greenhouse effect by 55% by 2030 and the ban on selling cars with internal combustion engines by 2035 (in the European Union) are not realistic, ”says the new General Manager of the Stellantis.
In an interview published today in the Les Echos newspaper, Philosa calls for “flexible” measures to be introduced that “will contribute at the same time to the reflection and maintenance of industrial activity”.
Stelantis (Jeep, Peugeot, Fiat) is the fourth -sized automaker in the world.
The ban on the sale of new petrol or diesel vehicles, including hybrids, in the EU, in the EU, the emblematic, ambitious measure of the European “green agreement” was approved by the Commission, despite Germany. However, a “review” clause was set in 2026 to make, if necessary, some adjustments.
The target has been challenged for many months by manufacturers, as electric cars sales and competition from China is increasing while at the same time having to deal with US duties and their profits are falling worldwide. BMW proposed on Friday to postpone the ban on 2050, while the head of Mercedes-Benz and president of the Union of European Manufacturers described the 2035 target “impossible”.
Antonio Filosa called for a “quick” dialogue, warning that the “rapid decline of the European automotive industry” should not be underestimated.
