The letter, addressed to new EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and new EU climate chief Frans Timmermans, also calls for a dedicated European investment fund to support new charging infrastructure for electric vans and trucks. The signatories also call for the EU’s 2030 emissions reduction target to be increased to 55% and for the bloc to go climate-neutral by 2050.
