Tesla and Chinese Carmakers Could Reap Billions From EU Emissions Rules

Published On Jan 31, 2025, 12:01 AM

European carmakers are currently facing pressure from new stringent EU regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions, compelling them to either increase their production of zero-emission vehicles or purchase emissions credits. This situation opens the door for Tesla and Chinese companies, like Geely, to profit from selling these credits. As competition intensifies with a downturn in demand for electric vehicles in Europe and potential factory closures, manufacturers have started lobbying for regulatory relief.
