On September 8, 2025, the research and advocacy group 'Transport & Environment' unveiled a report. The report highlighted that, propelled by a substantial anticipated surge in the sales of pure electric vehicles, all European automakers, with the notable exception of Mercedes-Benz, are projected to achieve the EU's carbon emission targets set for the 2025 - 2027 period.
The organization further forecasts that the market share of pure electric vehicles within the EU will experience a significant jump, climbing from 18% in 2025 to over 30% in 2027. This projection serves as a testament to the early signs of success for the existing policies.
