CONNECTIVITY ≠ AUTOMATION
12
• Connected vehicle o Not automated
o Communicates (V2V and V2I)
• Automated vehicleo Using internal sensors
o Operates in isolation
o Connectivity not necessary
• Combining automation with connectivity is more effectiveo For example: truck platooning, see-through applications, advanced alerts
on road works or local hazard warnings, automated parking

NEW BUSINESS MODELS
16
• Offering new mobility solutions, especially in an urban contexto New models of ownership, eg car sharing:
Car2Go, DriveNow, Greenwheels
o On-demand mobility solutions
o Intermodal mobility solutions
o Innovative logistics concept
• Manufacturers are evolving from being ‘just’ producers of vehicles to providers of integrated mobility solutions
• Moving towards “Mobility as a service”
![Page 17: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
COOPERATION AND DISRUPTION
17
• Traditional automotive business models will changeo That’s why our industry has to establish new alliances with
non-automotive partners in the telecom and IT sectors …
o … and develop innovative mobility solutions around new technologies together with other players
• Increasing convergence between sectors
• Disruption will bring great change to our industryo Innovation in connectivity and automation will help to strengthen
the leadership and global competitiveness of the EU auto industry
o Not only competition from other world economies (US, Japanand China), but also non-traditional players (large IT companies)

THE CHALLENGE
19
• Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficiento More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial
o Further improvement of CO2 reduction technologies
• Yet, APVs still only represent small share of car sales
• Industry is investing significantly in alternative powertrains
• Market uptake remains low!
5.7%1.4% OF
CAR SALES
![Page 20: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
COMBUSTION ENGINE
20
• So, improving internal combustion engine and diesel technology will continue to play a major role in future CO2 reductionso At least for a (long) transitional period, diesel needed as a bridge technology
• Diesel vehicles emit significantly less CO2 than equivalent petrol-powered vehicles
• Certain segments will be dependent on ICE – role of fuels decarbonisation is essential (heavy-duty vehicle segment)
• RDE-compliant Euro 6 diesel vehicles will continue to be part of wide range of powertrain options needed to reduce CO2

ALTERNATIVE POWERTRAINS
21
• Infrastructureo Directive on Alternative Fuel Infrastructure (DAFI) already set clear
objectives for national governments
o Implementation has been poor to date
o Member states and infrastructure providers need to speed up
• Incentiveso Often not sustainable in the long run (Dutch and Danish examples)
o Fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, and especially their monetary value, differ greatly across Europe
o Single European market for APVs does simply not exist today

5 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
23
![Page 24: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. FOCUS ON 2030 TARGET
24
• ACEA welcomes the fact that the date for the newlong-term CO2 target has been set for 2030
• Additional target in 2025 does not leave enough time
o Given long development and production cycles, no time to make necessary technical and design changes – especially for vans
![Page 25: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1. FOCUS ON 2030 TARGET
25
• Coming just 4 years after the CO2 targets already set for 2021, an interim target in 2025 is overly ambitious
• EU 2030 Climate and Energy Framework
o Adopted by the 28 heads of state back in 2014
o Specifies CO2 reductions for the year 2030 alone
• In line with this timing
o Focus should be on an ambitious, but realistic, 2030 target
o The proposed 2025 target should be revisited
![Page 26: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. SET 20% TARGET FOR CARS
26
• EU automobile manufacturers will continue to investin further reducing CO2 emissions from their vehicles
o Already spending a large part of the sector’s €53.8 billion annual R&D investment on decarbonisation
• 30% reduction proposed by the Commission seems to be too ambitious, especially in light of:
o Limited room for further improvement to the combustion engine
o Lack of recharging and refuelling infrastructure for alternative powertrains
o Low market uptake of alternatively-powered vehicles
o Ongoing decline of diesel’s market share
• In the end, it is the consumer who decides which technology to buy

2. SET 20% TARGET FOR CARS
30
• These market trends are posing a real threat to future CO2 reductions, even affecting the existing 2021 target
o Moreover, new WLTP test has made 2021 CO2 target >5% more stringent!
• 30% also goes beyond the Climate and Energy Framework
o CO2 targets can indeed provide an impetus for innovation, but the current proposal is very aggressive
o Putting the global competitiveness of the EU auto industry at risk
• 20% reduction by 2030 achievable at a high, but acceptable, cost
o In line with what is expected of other industry sectors
![Page 31: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
3. INCLUDE CONDITIONALITY
31
• Auto industry is ready to go beyond the 20% target
• However, problem is that the Commission’s proposal does not link the proposed CO2 targets to the:
1. Availability of recharging and refuelling infrastructure for alternatively-powered vehicles
2. Market uptake of these vehicles
• Forces car makers to invest in specific technologies without
o Providing clarity on the enabling framework
o Addressing the uncertainty surrounding consumer acceptance
![Page 32: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

4. REVISE THE LEV BENCHMARK
33
• Commission has also proposed a benchmark system
• Rewarding auto manufacturers that sell a certain share of low-emission vehicles (LEVs)
o At least 15% by 2025 and 30% by 2030
• In principle, this approach is the right way forward and welcomed by EU automobile manufacturers
• Unfortunately, it is not technology-neutral in its current shape, the Commission is effectively pushing for pure battery electric vehicles
• Does not sufficiently reward plug-in hybrids
o Yet, plug-in hybrids play a critical role, especially as large-scale recharging infrastructure is still lacking today
![Page 34: Challenges ahead of the automotive industry - EUROBAT•Beyond 2021, optimising combustion engine not sufficient o More focus on alternative powertrain technology will be crucial o](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042312/5edb111b09ac2c67fa68c16a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

5. ADDRESS SITUATION OF VANS
35
• When it comes to CO2, the situation for vans is completely different to that for passenger cars
o Yet, the Commission’s proposal for post-2021 CO2 targetsdeals with cars and vans without much differentiation
• Necessary to treat both vehicle segments differently
1. Set a 2030 ambition level significantly below 20% for vans
2. Enable transfer of credits between segments
3. Allow for weight adjustment of battery-electric vans
4. Adjust the low-emission vehicle benchmark for vans
5. Exclude multi-stage vehicles from CO2 monitoring
6. Promote vans used for passenger transport
