EU target for zero emissions: saves 1 million jobs in the auto industry!

Europa, EU - The European auto industry is at a crucial turning point. According to a recent study by [T&E] (https://www2.oekonews.at/studie-null-emissioners-ziel-2035-sterik-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu-eu, the industry could achieve a production capacity of up to 16.8 million vehicles a year if the EU Target for emission -free new car from 2035. This would increase the economic output of the automotive value chain by 11 percent by 2035 and secure thousands of jobs.

A softening of the current CO2 goals could have catastrophic consequences. Studies show that such a step could lead to a loss of up to 1 million jobs, while two thirds of the planned investments in the battery would be at risk. The effects would not only be devastating for employment, but also for the entire economic performance of the industry.

suggestions for securing jobs

In order to secure jobs in the automotive industry, the authors of the study propose several measures. This includes maintaining the EU CO2 goals between 2030 and 2035, supported by measures to increase demand. Furthermore, the introduction of financing instruments to promote battery production from European sources is considered crucial.

• maintenance of the EU CO2 goals for cars until 2035.
• Introduction of financing instruments for battery production.
• incentives for European components and materials.
• structure of the charging infrastructure by legal requirements.
• structure of high -quality workplaces through social regulations and technology transfer.

Chris Heron of E-Mobility Europe emphasizes the importance of political determination to create new jobs in e-mobility. European automobile manufacturers have to adapt and should be supported in order to be able to survive in an increasingly competitive market. Ilka von Dalwigk von Recharge expresses concern about the potential losses in a strategically important sector of green transformation.

action plan of the EU Commission

The [EU Commission] (https://germany.representation.ec.europa.eu/news/eu-kommission-legt-aktplan-fur-e-European industries-like-2025-05_de) has presented an action plan to prepare the automotive industry for future challenges. This plan is based on a strategic dialogue initiated by EU Commission President Ursula von Leyen. Investments of around 1.8 billion euros are planned to ensure a safe and competitive supply chain for battery resources.

The formation of a European alliance for networked and autonomous vehicles underlines the commitment of the EU to promote innovative technologies. Large -scale test environments are intended to help developers try out relevant technologies. In addition, it is intended to advance the development of around 1 billion euros through joint public-private investments.

The maintenance of the CO2 goals for new cars is a central element of the action plan, since a softening would have far-reaching negative consequences for the entire industry. In order to ensure the competitiveness of European companies, the Commission is planning to actively use commercial and protection instruments. Social partners and Member States are included in the strategy to intensify efforts to support employees in key sectors in industry.
