to the Commission
Rule 144
Jordan Bardella (PfE)

As part of the strategic dialogue on the automotive sector, the Commission announced that it was planning to introduce an obligation to green company fleets, which account for around 60 % of new vehicles bought each year. However, that measure may significantly increase costs for European companies, which are already facing strong international competition, and at the same time, electric vehicles remain 30 % more expensive than their combustion equivalents.

• 1.What proportion of electric vehicles does the Commission intend to force on companies in their annual purchases?
• 2.Taking into account the state of the market and global competition, with Chinese and US industry 15 years ahead technologically, for example, what are the forecasts for the share of electric vehicles manufactured within the EU?
