The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) appreciated the Commission's initiative to review the Climate and Environment Delegated Acts of EU Taxonomy. We have identified a few key areas where improvement is not only possible, but needed. Please see attached our position:

ACEA welcomes LCA analyses as they are important procedures that can help to reduce a motor vehicle’s impact on the environment and believes that the studies made should be scientifically sound and compare equivalent systems. LCA can be a useful tool to address environmental issues and is applied as internal environmental system for systematically managing environmental improvements in the automotive industry.

ACEA POLICY PAPER ON GREENING CORPORATE FLEETS FOR LIGHT DUTY VEHICLES BRUSSELS, 5 SEPTEMBER 2025 www.acea.auto 1 CON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The corporate fleet market for passenger cars and vans is highly complex. An artificial acceleration of market demand completely ignores the still absent regulatory frameworks necessary to achieve such high electrification rates in the EU.

The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) in general welcomes the EU Commission's efforts to provide further guidance and clarity on the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). However, key issues remain, adding additional/unnecessary burdens and leading to legal uncertainties for our industry.

ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, strongly welcomes the Review of the Weights & Dimensions Directive published on 11 July 2023 as part of the Greening Freight Package. The Review of the Directive is one important element of the regulatory framework to facilitate the market uptake of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), namely battery-electric and hydrogen-powered trucks and buses.

The European Commission has invited stakeholders to provide views on a range of questions on the revision of current rules on weights and dimensions for heavy-duty vehicles. ACEA welcomes the initiative and is herewith providing comments. The last fundamental revision of the Weights & Dimensions Directive was only adopted 5 years ago ((EU) 2015/719), with additional amendments introduced in 2019 ((EU) 1242/2019).

ACEA welcomes the Commissions Environmental Omnibus package as a necessary and timely simplification initiative aimed at reducing administrative burden while preserving high levels of environmental protection. The automotive sector strongly supports targeted, proportionate amendments that enhance regulatory coherence, legal certainty and practical workability across the Batteries Regulation, the Industrial Emissions…

ACEA takes note of the publication of the draft Implementing Act on the DPP registry. While the draft provides an initial framework for the future functioning of the registry and its interaction with the Battery Passport under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, a substantial number of legal, technical and operational aspects remain insufficiently clarified at this stage.

ACEA welcomes the initiative of the European Commission to gather evidence in view of drafting the rules applicable to DPP service providers, and would like to share some concerns and questions which we hope will be addressed in the delegated act - please see attachment.

ACEA represents Europe's 16 major car, van, truck, and bus manufacturers.

Europes water sector is entering a period of unprecedented pressure. Climate change, increasing drought frequency, ageing infrastructure, growing demand, stricter environmental standards and rising expectations regarding resilience are exposing the limits of traditional approaches to water management. Against this backdrop, digitalisation is no longer an optional technological upgrade.

The underlying principle in combining two or more modes of transport is efficiency. To stay competitive with respect to costs, all modes have to improve their efficiency. The achievement of a true internal market for rail, short sea and inland waterways transport services and the improvement of their full potential in terms of productivity is essential for a true intermodal or multimodal transport based on…
