The changes we are making have been very carefully calibrated so as not to have a big impact upon the carbon emissions savings that are baked into this policy. In fact, the impact upon carbon emissions as a result of these changes is negligible. With the challenging geopolitical operating environment and increased intense pressure on the automotive industry, extending the current flexibilities and the introduction of new ones helps Stellantis in continuing to be compliant … We welcome the flexibilities to allow our customers more freedom of choice.
