Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.
Policies to reduce the GHG emissions of newly registered cars are one of the most important instruments within the transport sector. Within this instrument ambitious performance standards for passenger cars are needed. However, it must be noted that 1. policy measures must have a significant and measurable effect on GHG emissions 2. besides setting ambitious goals, it is above all important to achieve them.
The German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) is the largest European industrial association. VDMA represents more than 3.300 member companies in the SME-dominated mechanical engineering industry in Germany and Europe.
The EU's climate targets are the most ambitious in the world. To achieve the 2030 and 2050 objectives, all possible technological solutions must be used – this includes electric mobility as well as efuels and hydrogen.
Addressing climate protection in the field of aviation is an excellent initiative of the European Commission. So far, this mode of transport has contributed virtually nothing to decarbonising Europe. This is mainly due to a lack of regulation. In order to reduce GHG emissions in aviation effectively, a binding mandate is needed.

The Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) is the largest European industrial association. VDMA represents around 3300 German and European companies in the mechanical engineering industry. The industry represents innovation, export orientation, medium-sized companies and employs around four million people in Europe, more than one million of them in Germany.
Addressing climate protection in the field of maritime shipping is an excellent initiative of the Euro-pean Commission. So far, this mode of transport has contributed virtually nothing to decarbonising Europe. This is mainly due to a lack of regulation. In order to reduce GHG emissions in maritime shipping effectively, a binding mandate is needed.
