欧盟委员会在声明中强调，此举并不意味着欧盟要放弃气候中和的长远目标，只是为汽车制造商提供更 加灵活和更具成本效益的过渡路径。 欧盟此次政策放宽是缘于多方压力。在现有技术条件下，如果欧盟强制在2035年前淘汰燃油车，全面转 向电动车，这意味着欧盟不仅要投入巨额资金，用于产品研发和充电设施建设，同时还可能引发产能、 就业和供应链的剧烈震荡。尤其对德国来说，汽车工业是国家的经济支柱，一旦电动车转型速度无法匹 配其全球领先的汽车产业水平，那么势必会更快削弱德国汽车的出口优势。同时，这也是德国对国内民 粹主义者批评欧盟气候政策的一次防御性反击。 此次政策调整在欧洲内部引发激烈争论。支持者认为，放宽禁令可以让消费者在燃油车和电动车之间拥 有更多选择权。对汽车制造商和零部件生产商来说，能拥有更多的时间完成电动化转型，避免转型过程 中的阵痛。而充电设备不足的地区也可以继续受益于燃油车的便利。在反对者看来，要实现气候保护这 一终极目标只能依赖电动车，而此次禁令放宽只会使燃油车的市场生命周期无限延续。因为政策的不确 定性，大量资金仍会投到内燃机领域，从而无法促进电动车的研发，并最终导致欧洲汽车失去技术上的 主动权。消费者也会对此 ...

Group 1 - The European Commission has adjusted the "fuel vehicle ban," allowing new registrations of internal combustion engine vehicles after 2035, relaxing the previous "zero emissions" standard [1] - The new regulation changes the carbon dioxide emission reduction target from 100% to 90%, allowing hybrid vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, and even traditional fuel vehicles to be sold in the EU [1] - This policy adjustment is a response to various pressures, particularly from Germany, where the automotive industry is a key economic pillar, and aims to provide a more flexible and cost-effective transition path for manufacturers [1][2] Group 2 - The policy change has sparked intense debate within Europe, with supporters arguing it offers consumers more choices and gives manufacturers more time to transition to electric vehicles, while opponents believe it undermines climate goals by prolonging the market life of fuel vehicles [2] - For China, the relaxation of the ban provides a buffer period for automotive powerhouses like Germany, but may also lead to a long-term disadvantage in the global electric vehicle race, as battery technology continues to advance rapidly [3] - The new regulations require the use of environmentally friendly steel in vehicle production, which may favor local European steel over that from China and Turkey, while also promoting the development of local battery factories and supply chains [3][4] Group 3 - The adjustment of the fuel vehicle ban presents an opportunity for China to expand its market and strengthen its technological advantages, emphasizing the importance of continuous technological iteration and optimized industrial layout during this critical period [4]

Core Viewpoint - The European Union is planning to relax its 2035 ban on the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles, marking a significant retreat from its green policies due to pressure from the automotive industry [2][3]. Group 1: EU Policy Changes - The EU Commission's new plan allows for the continued sale of certain non-pure electric vehicles, responding to demands from German and Italian automakers [2][3]. - The revised targets include a 90% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by around 2035 compared to 2021 levels, down from the previous requirement of "zero emissions" for all new passenger cars and vans [3]. - The proposal provides a three-year window from 2030 to 2032 for automakers to average their emissions reductions, with passenger car emissions needing to be reduced by 55% compared to 2021 levels [3]. Group 2: Industry Reactions - Volkswagen, Europe's largest car manufacturer, supports the decision to open the internal combustion engine market while compensating for emissions, calling it a pragmatic approach [2]. - Analysts suggest that the global automotive industry is entering a "reset moment," rather than progressing linearly towards electrification [4]. - The CEO of Polestar warns that relaxing emission targets could harm both climate goals and Europe's competitiveness in the automotive sector [4]. Group 3: Competitive Landscape - The slowdown in electric vehicle transitions in the US and Europe may provide Chinese automakers an opportunity to solidify their market position, as they have established a leading edge in electric vehicles over the past decade [6][7]. - Traditional automakers like Ford are shifting focus back to fuel and hybrid models, indicating a retreat from aggressive electric vehicle plans [6][7]. - Despite potential impacts from reduced demand in Europe, Chinese automakers are expected to remain competitive, with the ability to expand into markets in South America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia [7].
