The EU Automotive Action Plan represents an attempt to balance ambitious decarbonization goals with the need to maintain the competitiveness and stability of the European automotive industry. The anticipation of reviewing emission standards, while maintaining the 2035 target, indicates a willingness to listen to sector concerns and explore a more flexible approach through technological neutrality. The five pillars of the plan outline a comprehensive strategy addressing innovation, ecological transition, supply chain resilience, skills, and global competitiveness. The success of the plan will depend on its effective implementation and collaboration between the European Commission, member states, and sector stakeholders.
