Sixt CO2 Emission Impact

EU plans to set new rules for company fleets in Mid-December 2025, with reports indicating it may require 50% EV share by 2027 and up to 90% by 2030

  • According to recent reports, the EU Commission plans to unveil CO2 rules for company and rental fleets requiring around 50% EV share by 2027 and up to 90% by 2030 in mid-December, effectively accelerating the phase-out of combustion engines in commercial registrations.
  • Earlier reports indicated the Commission wants to completely ban combustion vehicles for corporates in 2030.
  • The plan would affect almost two-thirds of new registrations in Germany.

Assessment
I still believe that the possibility that the EU Commission will succeed in passing the new regulation will be hard given existing framework conditions and current opposition.
