Overview

• Stellantis executive Jean‑Philippe Imparato said the EU’s 2030 and 2035 CO2 limits are unattainable without risking roughly a 30% collapse in the new‑car market.
• He urged rapid regulatory changes, proposing emissions averaging and a dedicated framework to enable about €15,000 city cars, likely mild‑hybrids built in Europe.
• Imparato highlighted the disappearance of affordable small cars, noting models under €15,000 have fallen from 49 in 2019 to just one today.
• Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa met Italy’s industry minister Adolfo Urso in Rome, with the minister saying the company aligns with the government’s policy proposals.
• More than 150 EV, battery and charging companies asked Ursula von der Leyen not to dilute the 2035 ban, as T&E warned a two‑year delay would cut 2025–27 EV sales by about 2 million units before Friday’s Brussels talks.
