VDA Position 16 July 2021Requirements for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed a CO2 border adjustment measure at the beginning of her term of office. The aim should be to impose a levy on selected goods from countries with lower CO2 standards. This was also intended to protect industry in the EU from unequal competitive conditions and prevent "carbon leakage". Achieving the climate protection targets of the Fit for 55 package will require enormous efforts from industry and society. The aim of the Paris Agreement is to achieve these efforts on a global scale, because climate protection policy is a global task that can only be solved jointly by the world community. Against this background, the VDA has formulated requirements for the design of a possible CO2 limit compensation mechanism.

VDA Position 26 May 2021The EU’s “Fit for 55” package: Perspectives of the German automotive industry
The European Union has decided to increase the 2030 EU climate target: The greenhouse gas emissions of the EU have to be reduced by 55 percent until 2030 compared to 1990 levels – instead of the previously planned 40 percent. By July 2021 the European Commission will bring forward a comprehensive package to revise the regulatory framework for European energy, climate, and transport policy. The package will include new CO2 emission performance standards for cars and vans, a revision of the alternative fuel infrastructure directive (AFID), revisions of the European emission trading system and the energy taxation directive as well as an update of the renewable energy directive (RED). The VDA outlines regulatory conditions which are decisive in order for road transport to deliver on the climate targets.
