By applying variable speed reduction to a pump, it can be set to a lower speed. A lower speed means lower energy consumption. Furthermore, the pump experiences less wear and tear, thus lowering maintenance costs. The directly achievable energy savings amount to several tens of percent per pump. This is a well-known practice worldwide.

ACEA welcomes Commissions better regulation efforts to enhance competitiveness of European companies. Hence it is positive that Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) explicitly does not apply to vehicles, since they are already covered under existing EU sector-specific regulations, including the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation (ELVR).

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
