Stellantis boss blasts new Euro 7 regulations

AutoExec Summary
Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares criticized the proposed Euro 7 emissions regulations, calling them counterproductive for the automotive industry’s efforts to produce affordable electric cars. Tavares stated that the new regulations, set to be implemented in July 2025, do not allow car-makers enough time to develop compliant powertrains. He emphasized the importance of incentivizing electrification instead of further investing in internal combustion engine (ICE) development to meet Euro 7 standards. While critical overall, Tavares did acknowledge the Euro 7 proposals to address particulate emissions from brake pads and tyres. The regulations are expected to significantly reduce emissions and save lives in urban areas.
