"The European Parliament has voted to adopt new regulations for heavy vehicle
emissions, sending a strong signal to manufacturers to accelerate the switch to
electric or watch their addressable market evaporate.
The new regulation which covers new trucks and buses was passed by the EU
parliament with 341 votes in favour and 268 against.
CO2 emissions for large trucks, including “vocational vehicles” such as garbage
trucks, tippers and concrete mixers, will be reduced by 45% by 2030 (compared
to 2019 levels). By 2035 truck emissions will need to be cut further to 65% and
90% by 2040.
Regulations on busses are even stronger requiring all new urban buses to reduce
their emissions by 90% by 2030 with a full phase out of new fossil buses by
2035."
