There will be no reduction in tolls for "zero-emission trailers"

The European Parliament and Council reached a temporary agreement on Eurovignette regulations, excluding trailer efficiency in CO2-based road charges. The European Commission acknowledged trailers' potential to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. However, due to implementation challenges, a final decision was postponed. The agreement allows EU member states to offer significant road fee reductions for low-emission trucks until mid-2031. Transport companies oppose stringent regulations, citing high costs and safety concerns. Manufacturers face hefty fines for failing to meet CO2 reduction targets, raising alarms about their viability. The automotive industry criticizes the ambitious emission goals as unrealistic, with calls for more electric vehicles by 2030.
