"There can be no exceptions: commercial vehicles will also have to go green. I voted in favour of this proposal for a directive which requires manufacturers to reduce the CO
emissions of vans and other commercial vehicles within the next decade. This proposal largely takes its inspiration from the European regulation on the CO
emissions of cars, which has been in force since 2008.
This was a reasonable vote, following an agreement with the Council which essentially returns to the main proposals of the European Commission: the obligation to reduce the polluting emissions of commercial vehicles to 175 g CO
/km by 2014 for 100% of the fleet, and to reduce them progressively to 147 g CO
/km by 2020. Nevertheless, this is still a bit of a disappointment, as we had voted for a more ambitious objective in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety in September 2010.
As for the extra costs to manufacturers of vans and minibuses, they will be well compensated for by the fact that these vehicles will pollute less and consume less, and in the end, that is what motorists are interested in."@en1
