Van Makers Want to Slash the Electric Van Market. Europe Can Boost It Instead.

•European van manufacturers (ACEA) are lobbying for weaker 2030 CO2 targets and 5-year averaging periods (2025-29, 2030-34), which could significantly slow the transition to zero-emission vans.
•If successful, this lobbying effort would likely reduce the availability and increase the cost of electric vans, delaying fleet electrification for large power consumers and potentially dampening demand for associated charging infrastructure development.
•The article details proposed regulatory changes in Europe that, if adopted, would weaken current CO2 emission standards for commercial vans, impacting the pace of decarbonization in the transport sector.
