Stellantis NV dealers urged the European Union to delay the introduction of stricter CO2 emissions rules next year, a stance that runs counter to the carmaker’s support for the mandates.
The four associations represent European distributors of Stellantis brands including Alfa Romeo, Citroën, Fiat, Jeep, and Peugeot. They asked European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to delay the regulations taking effect Jan. 1 because they could hurt the auto industry, according to an Oct. 4 letter obtained by Bloomberg News.
