Government approves bill for car registration without paper certificates

The Council of Ministers approved a bill introducing electronic certificates of conformity (eCoC) for vehicles. Manufacturers will send these documents directly to the Central Vehicle Registry, allowing car registration without a paper certificate. The requirement will apply to new vehicles in categories M, N and O with EU type-approval issued by the Technical Supervision Director of Transport.

Are electronic certificates of conformity a good solution for drivers?

Volkswagen posts 5.8 billion euro loss as Chinese brands capture two-thirds of market

Volkswagen reported a net loss of 5.8 billion euro in the third quarter, compared with 1.1 billion euro a year earlier, mainly due to write-downs on assets in China and Porsche. Combined sales by VW, BMW and Mercedes in China fell by roughly one-third between 2019 and 2025, to 3.87 million vehicles. Over the same period, Chinese brands' share of the domestic market rose from 37.8 to 65.3 percent. German carmakers are transferring not only production but also technology development to China.

Should European automakers reduce their investments in China?

Tesla ends Cybertruck production in 2027, pivots to Cybercab

Elon Musk announced Tesla will end Cybertruck production in mid-2027. The freed manufacturing capacity will be redirected to increase output of Cybercab, an autonomous ride-sharing vehicle. This marks a clear shift in company priorities from electric trucks to autonomous taxis.

Is Tesla right to abandon Cybertruck for Cybercab?

EU Parliament softens combustion car sales ban after 2035

The European Parliament's environment committee backed a compromise weakening the planned ban on new CO₂-emitting cars from 2035. Manufacturers would need to cut emissions by 95 percent versus levels, or just 87.5 percent if using low-emission European steel. This means petrol, diesel and hybrid cars could remain on sale after 2035. Polish MEP Elżbieta Łukacijewska said "common sense won."

Is softening the combustion car sales ban after 2035 the right decision?

Hands-free driving available on Polish motorways from November

From November, Polish motorways will offer hands-free driving at speeds up to 130 km/h. The system automatically maintains lane position, speed and distance from other vehicles, and assists with lane changes. The driver must continuously watch the road and remains responsible for driving.

European automotive industry threatened: nearly 19,000 jobs at risk

European car parts manufacturers face elimination of nearly 19,000 jobs due to falling exports and rising competition from outside Europe. The industry warns that the EU's climate transition cannot occur at the expense of European factories. Its future depends largely on new regulations being developed by EU institutions.

Should the EU slow its climate transition to protect automotive jobs?

France and Germany want to preserve combustion engines after 2035

France and Germany are jointly seeking to ease the EU ban on sales of new combustion-engine cars after 2035. Both countries want vehicles with combustion engines to continue being offered alongside electric cars. The automotive industry supports these efforts, while critics warn that such concessions could harm Europe's long-term competitiveness.

Should the European Union maintain the ban on sales of new combustion-engine cars after 2035?

Audi plans to build factory in Georgia: 200,000 SUVs annually

Trump is set to announce a plan for a new Audi assembly plant in Georgia. The facility will produce 200,000 SUVs per year, a government official told Reuters. The investment is part of automakers' efforts to avoid import tariffs introduced by the Trump administration.

Is building factories in the USA under pressure from Trump's tariffs a good strategy for European automakers?

Cloud, not car: VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda data leak exposed traces of 800,000 vehicles

In December 2024 it was revealed that telemetry data from approximately 800,000 electric vehicles from Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda had been publicly available on the internet for several months. GPS logs, correspondence, phone numbers and drivers' home addresses leaked—not through a physical port in the car, but via vulnerable cloud infrastructure. The incident shows that the greatest risk to modern vehicles lies outside the car itself, in manufacturers' IT systems.

Should car makers bear financial responsibility for cloud data breaches?

One in seven new cars sold in Europe comes from China: September record

Chinese auto brands reached 14.6% market share in Europe in September, with registrations more than doubling from a year earlier. For the first time, a Chinese model entered the top ten most popular cars in Europe. Chinese sales are growing far faster than the overall market.

Tesla plans to sell steering wheel-free Cybercab this year

Tesla announced it will begin selling the Cybercab to external customers before year's end. The two-seat vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals is designed to function as an autonomous taxi. U.S. regulations remain the main obstacle to broader deployment, with rules potentially delaying the model's market entry.

Toyota proposes VEEF category: combustion cars as zero-emission vehicles

Toyota has proposed introducing a new vehicle category called VEEF (Vehicles running Exclusively on Eligible Fuels) — combustion cars powered exclusively by approved fuels — that would be treated as zero-emission vehicles on par with electric cars. The Japanese manufacturer's proposal aims to broaden the definition of zero-emission beyond electric vehicles.

EU Considers Gradually Ending VAT Deduction for Corporate Gas-Powered Cars

The European Commission is analyzing the possibility of restricting the right to deduct VAT on corporate gas-powered vehicles to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles. Public consultation on this matter will run until 4 November 2026, and potential changes are intended to cover a broader scope than cars alone. The proposal aims to support the EU's climate targets.

Will eliminating VAT deduction for gas cars accelerate the shift to electric vehicles?
