EWABA

🔎 The most recent European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) statistics show a trend that cannot be overlooked. For the first nine months of 2024, new electric truck and van sales in the European Union saw a decrease compared to the same period a year earlier. 📉 New electrically chargeable vans experienced a steep decline of 12.8% on the year, while diesel-powered EU vans maintained a stable 84.6% market share ⛽️ Diesel trucks represented 95.3% of new EU registrations, while new electric chargeable trucks declined by 6.6% from 2023 🔌Electrically chargeable bus registrations increased by 28.7% but total market share only saw a minor adjustment to 15.9%, from 14.4% in 2023 The slower uptake in EV registrations across the EU's commercial vehicles sector showcase the need to shift our strategy and strengthen our focus on renewable liquid fuels produced domestically. 🇪🇺♻️ ⛽️📈 We can achieve immediate GHG reductions by using higher blends of renewable fuels such as #biofuels and waste-based #biodiesel in our trucks, vans and buses across the EU!

We are pleased to announce that Ewald-Marco Münzer, CEO of Austrian biodiesel producer Münzer Bioindustrie GmbH, has recently been re-elected as EWABA President. Congratulations! 🎉🎉 Following two years of successful leadership, Ewald will continue strengthening our voice by advocating for sustainable energy solutions across Europe and promoting the inclusion of biofuels in the renewable energy mix. 🗣 "Our vision envisages a fair regulatory framework that strengthens the role of waste-based and advanced #biofuels in the energy transition and paves the way for a truly circular economy. Especially in view of international distortions of competition, such as those recently brought to light by the dumping practices of China, it is crucial to secure the competitiveness of our industry and promote our sustainable, regional value chains”, Ewald notes. 📶 🇪🇺 Our association is represented in 21 EU Member States along with key non-EU markets like the UK and Switzerland, currently encompassing a total of 59 members. #biodiesel #renewablefuels #EUpolicies #MadeinEU #EUassociation

📊💻 A vital issue for our industry is finally being address through an official channel. The Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) has alerted it will investigate non-compliance with mass balance rules for biofuels, following “serious signals” of certified companies not following the rules. (the NEa newsletter can be found in the comments) ❗️Immediate action is needed to stop this mass balance anomaly that creates market distortion, lowering domestic #biodiesel prices and negatively affecting the EU’s efforts to decarbonize the #transportsector. 🔎 The system should leave no room for exploitation and ensure that the same rules apply to all participants. Any violation by market participants should be quickly detected, isolated, and addressed by relevant authorities.   As an association we are working tirelessly to achieve this for our members and the industry at large.
