However, several member states are debating revisions to the combustion engine phase-out, with the German business community demanding a more industry-focused approach.
CLEPA, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, is calling for flexibility, industrial perspectives, and a market-oriented approach in the CO2 revision. The existing CO2 regulation for light-duty vehicles, which foresees a ban on new combustion engines, must be reassessed.

Competitiveness in the sector is under intense pressure from global trade disruptions, resource constraints, and internal challenges. The German business community, represented by organizations such as the DIHK and key economic experts, demands that the European Commission focus more on the actual circumstances of industry and move beyond discussion to implementation to secure a competitive and sustainable industry in Europe and preserve hundreds of thousands of jobs near me in indeed jobs.
CLEPA is urging the Commission to take greater account of the current realities of the industry and move from discussion to implementation. Europe must urgently manage its ongoing transformation in the automotive industry to ensure competitiveness and safeguard jobs near me in indeed jobs.
