Eu Lawmakers Approve Delay for Car Emission Targets

EU lawmakers have approved a delay for European carmakers to meet new emission targets. This decision aims to balance climate goals with support for the struggling automotive industry. The approved measure allows companies to average their emissions over three years, from 2025 to 2027. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) welcomed the vote. They stated that the mechanism provides flexibility in meeting CO2 targets. Critics argue that loosening emissions rules will delay the availability of affordable electric vehicles.
