In a letter addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, European automotive manufacturers (ACEA) and suppliers (CLEPA), outlined their expectations for the upcoming Strategic Dialogue on the future of the European automotive industry.

Since the adoption of the current CO2 reduction framework for road transport, the industrial, economic, and geopolitical realities have changed drastically. To achieve the EU’s climate ambitions, while also safeguarding Europe’s competitiveness, social cohesion and supply chain resilience, the strategy for the automotive sector must evolve accordingly. The Dialogue on 12 September is a timely chance to recalibrate EU policy for the automotive value chain in line with today’s shifting market, geopolitical, and economic realities.
