The European Commission aims for zero emissions for new cars by 2035

- With the gradual tightening of CO2 emissions targets in the European Union, the trend is for the end of sales of new cars with thermal engines (petrol or diesel) from 2035. The EU is regularly tightening its CO2 emissions targets and aims for carbon neutrality in 2050. To achieve this objective, the European Commission wishes to set objectives after 2035 that only battery electric vehicles will be able to achieve.

- Until now, the targets set by the European Commission were a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions in 2025 compared to the 2021 target (set at an average of 95 g of CO2/km) and 37,5% in 2030 (still compared to 2021).

- The new proposal from the European Commission aims firstly to reduce emissions more sharply in 2030, with a 55% reduction in 2030 for passenger vehicles, i.e. an average of 42.75 g CO2/km (compared to 2021) and a reduction of 50% for light utility vehicles. Secondly, the Commission proposes to aim for zero emissions for new cars by 2035, i.e. the end of vehicles using a combustion engine (and therefore plug-in hybrids as well). These proposals will be discussed and negotiated with the auto industry, before a decision expected next year.

- In 2021, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sales will represent 8% of the European market, so it is a long way before reaching 100% of European market with BEVs. Actually, Europe is divided between those who welcome 100% electric vehicles as soon as possible and those who consider that too rapid electrification would increase the price of vehicles, destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs and promote competition from China with less expensive products.

Monthly BEV registrations in Europe between 2019 and today

 - Monthly registrations of battery electric cars (BEVs) in Europe show a constant evolution month after month, but a strong increase is observed from the spring of 2020, just after the March-April lockdown period. But it is more than a catch-up that is observed as the monthly sales increased from an average level of 20,000 to 40,000 units between January 2019 and January 2020, to quickly reached 80,000 units in September 2020 and 145,000 in December 2020, after stabilizing at 65,000 in October 2020 and 73,000 in November 2020.

- December 2020 was a special month as Volkswagen ID3 registrations rose (25,000 sales), for the first time ahead of the Tesla Model 3 (19,000 sales) and Renault Zoé (16,000 sales).

- Over the whole 2020 year, the Renault Zoe (96,650 sales) remains the European market leader in the electric car category, ahead of the Tesla Model 3 (74,704 sales) and the Volkswagen ID3 (47,249 sales).

- In the first half of 2021, the Tesla Model 3 however took the lead in the European market in the battery electric car category (65,348 sales), thus beating the Renault Zoé (31,411 sales) and Volkswagen ID3 (30,334 sales).

- Registrations of electric cars resumed a discontinued growth from March 2021 (100,000 sales), after a temporary low in January and February. BEV sales reached 70,000 sales in April 2021, 80,000 in May 2021 and 120,000 in June 2021. Sales for the first half of 2021 are therefore up by 127% compared to the first half of 2020. However in the first half of the year, in terms of smoothed months, there is a perceptible slowdown which may give a trend for the rest of the year.

Production of the Toyota Yaris Cross has just started in Onnaing

- The Toyota plant located in Onnaing (North of France) has just started the production of the Yaris Cross on July 5, 2021. It marks Toyota's entry into the B-SUV segment, the CHR being rather marketed in the C-SUV segment. and the RAV4 in the D-SUV segment. After the gradual increase in the size, weight and price of the Japanese brand's SUVs, there was therefore a place under the CHR and RAV4, a space now filled by the Yaris Cross.

- With this new model based on the TNGA platform (also used by the Yaris), Toyota intends to compete with high volume models in Europe in this segment, such as the Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Citroën C3 Aircross, Fiat 500 X, Volkswagen T-Cross, Ford Puma and Opel Mokka. Compared to the Yaris which continues its career, the Yaris Cross is longer (4.18 m or 24 cm more), wider (1.76 m or 1 cm more) and higher (1.56 m or 5 cm more). But it is 5 cm shorter than the Renault Captur and 12 cm shorter than the Peugeot 2008.

- The carmaker's goal is to produce 150,000 Yaris Cross and 150,000 Yaris at Onnaing each year, meaning 300,000 units in total, which represents the plant's maximum capacity. As the Yaris' demand exceed 150,000 units per year, the Czech Kolinplant will help to produce the Yaris, with an estimated capacities of 100,000 additional units per year. Remember that the Kolinplant produces the Toyota Aygo and has just stopped assembling the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, therefore freeing up capacities for the Yaris.

- The Yaris Cross is expected to contribute to the development of Toyota's sales in Europe, which targets 1.5 million vehicles in 2025 with an electrification rate of 90%. The Yaris Cross is only offered as a 3-cylinder 1.5-liter, 116-hp hybrid engine.
