The Environment Council meeting in Luxembourg adopted the Council's general approach to the regulation on new CO2 emission limits for trucks and buses on 16 October. The Czech Republic has contributed to a significant mitigation of the impact of this forthcoming regulation. The most significant change is the exemption of all long-distance and suburban buses from the requirements for full zero-emission operation and the delay of the commitment to full zero-emission urban buses by five years to 2035. The proposal, approved, also foresees a review of the objectives and the whole regulation in 2027.
