The Green Deal has regulated both the supply side as well as the demand side with several legislative initiatives: this includes the Regulation on CO2 standards for cars and vans, the Clean Vehicles Directive, ESG and CSRD requirements as well as taxonomy. We consider these to create steering effects on corporate fleets and thus regard the new Clean Corporate Vehicles scheme as largely redundant.

Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
Inconsistent enforcement across Member States and at external borders. Resource and expertise gaps, especially for complex or new technologies. Insufficient digital tools and coordination (ICSMS, Safety Gate). A rise in non compliant imported products, undermining compliant EU manufacturers. Potential strengthening of EU-level governance, including deeper coordination or an EU Market Surveillance Authority.
