France and Germany have agreed on a common approach aimed at securing the future of Europe’s automotive industry. They want to transform the sector while maintaining climate ambitions and ensuring that tomorrow’s cars are made in Europe.
Their shared goal is to significantly cut CO₂ emissions and strengthen Europe’s ability to develop and produce the next generation of electric vehicles. The transition to clean mobility should go hand in hand with investment, innovation and production in France, Germany and across Europe.
The proposed package pairs an ambitious European decarbonisation pathway with regulatory flexibility to reflect different market realities and technological conditions. It also includes incentives for investment, research and development, production in Europe and resilient supply chains.
