According to Reuters, according to a study conducted by the European Environmental Organization Transportation and Environment (T & E) entrusted consulting company’s environmental resource management (ERM), the five major member states of the EU spend about 42 billion euros each year (about 45.6 billion US dollars) subsidized fossil fuel fuel Enterprise cars (in Europe, enterprises account for about 60%of the total sales of new cars), which is contrary to the EU’s green transformation agenda. T & E therefore called for more subsidies to electric vehicles.
A study released by ERM on October 21 shows that Italy provides 16 billion euros subsidies for fossil fuel enterprises each year; followed by Germany, which provides 13.7 billion euros for this each year; France and Poland provide 6.4 billion euros and 61 each year, respectively 100 million euros subsidies; Spain is 100 million euros. ERM’s research also found that only the former EU member states Britain turned to electric vehicles to provide financial incentives to electric vehicles.
It is reported that the company usually uses cars as employee benefits and provides a large amount of subsidies such as consumption tax and fuel use discounts. The study found that about 15 billion euros in Italy, Germany, France, and Poland were used to subsidize SUVs. Enterprise drivers can get a tax discount of 6,800 euros per year, and each high -polluting large model can enjoy a tax incentive of up to 21,600 euros.
Stef Cornelis, director of the T & E team, said: “We are still investing in the funds of billions of taxpayers in a technology that is completely contrary to the European Commission’s Green Transformation A agenda, which is completely incompatible and unacceptable.”
Ursula von der Leyen, chairman of the European Commission, wrote to a letter to the EU’s new climate specialist Wopke Hoekstra on September 17 that one of the primary tasks of WOPKE HOEKSTRA will be to put forward a suggestion to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies.
At the time of this research, European electric vehicle sales are declining, partly because electric vehicles are higher than the same fossil fuel cars, so many consumers are unable to buy it.
According to data from the automotive industry, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles in EU in August decreased by 43.9%year -on -year, of which the European Union’s largest electric vehicle market in Germany and France fell by 68.8%and 33.1%year -on -year.
