Logistics Industry Calls for Urgent Review of EU CO₂ Rules

CEOs of 30 leading European trailer manufacturers have signed a joint declaration and petition calling on the European Commission and European Parliament to review and adjust Regulation (EU) 2024/1610. The industry supports the EU’s climate goals but warns that the current VECTO methodology could raise emissions, cost jobs and lead to further deindustrialization.

Why this matters to buyers

Potential regulatory changes in the EU could affect the cost, design, and availability of trailers and related components. Buyers may face uncertainty regarding future compliance requirements and potential price adjustments for EU-specification equipment.

Recommended buyer actions

  • Monitor EU regulatory developments regarding Regulation (EU) 2024/1610 and VECTO methodology.
  • Assess current inventory and future procurement plans for trailers and components against potential regulatory shifts.
  • Engage with suppliers to understand their position on the proposed regulatory review.
