超级跑车制造商得到More Time To Reduce CO2 Emissions

Late last month, the European Union reached anagreement on the 2035 combustion ban. There was good news for both environmentalists and engine lovers, as the new agreement confirms the EU's goals for an electric future while also making allowance for the introduction ofsynthetic fuels. As part of this agreement, all cars' emissions must be 100% CO₂free by 2035, but for small-volume automakers like McLaren and Ferrari, the challenges are greater than for mainstream automakers. Fortunately,Automotive News Europereports that automakers that sell fewer than 10,000 cars or 22,000 vans in Europe will have more time to reduce emissions, with an exemption agreement now extended to 2035. Originally, these small-scale automakers would have had to meet tougher emissions limits by 2029.

This news is seen as a concession to Italy after the Mediterranean country had beenone of the most vocalof five nations arguing for an extension of the zero-emissions deadline. "As far as niche producers are concerned, the exemption is up to the end of 2035," said Agnes Pannier-Runacher, the energy transition minister in France.

The extension of the derogation is also seen as a win for the European Small Volume Car Manufacturers Alliance (ESCA), which represents McLaren, Aston Martin, Pagani, Bugatti, Ineos, Rimac, and Koenigsegg. This alliance had argued that special rules should be applied to supercar manufacturers because the life cycle of supercars is longer, these supercars have a limited overall impact on emissions, and the brands have limited resources compared to the likes of Volkswagen and Toyota, for example.
