Euro 7 themes and stop endothermia in 2035 they are getting hotter and hotter on the political front. It is reported by Automotive News Europe. Czech Republic convened a meeting with transport ministers from 12 European Union countries who raised concerns about new legislation to reduce pollutant emissions, known specifically as Euro 7.
In addition to the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Spain are invited to participate in the meeting. The meeting will take place March 13, Monday, Strasbourg.as emphasized by the Minister of Transport of the Czech Republic Martin Kupka. However, at the moment it is not clear whether all the invited countries will take part in this meeting.
We will discuss the key points of the common position for negotiations on changing the standard.
In addition to EURO 7, we will also deal with an agreement to limit the sale of new vehicles with internal combustion engines after 2035 and other legislative proposals in the field of reducing emissions in the transport sector.

Doubts about the content of the Euro-7 legislation were expressed not only by some European countries, as you know, but also by various manufacturers. For example, Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Stellantis, has repeatedly criticized the Euro 7 standard as “a waste of time and money” as it requires car manufacturers to invest in engine upgrades to reduce vehicle emissions. All taking into account a possible stop in sales of new endothermic cars in 2035. Investments that will then subtract resources from electrification programs.
In addition, it seems that this meeting will also discuss the issue of stopping endothermy in 2035. As we know, the European Union is currently in a stalemate due to the position taken by some countries, including Italy and Germany.
In particular, this has a strong effect on Germany’s position what did he ask e-fuel exceptionso that even after 2035 cars running on this fuel can be sold. The Czech Republic also aligned itself with Germany’s position, and judging by what transpired, once the German country expressed its new position, other countries would have joined in.
Let’s see what will come out of this meeting and how the discussions on Euro 7 and on stopping endothermy in 2035 will develop. It seems that discussions/negotiations will go on for a long time before a common position can be found.
