The European Union is lagging behind China when it comes to the transition to electric vehicles, head of the Manager Association and director of Hidria Holding Iztok Seljak said at the event on Wednesday, July 31.
The EU has high ambitions in electrifying transport, said European Association of Automotive Suppliers secretary general Benjamin Krieger. Still many challenges lie ahead that will require the cooperation of decision-makers at the national and EU level, he added.
European car manufacturers will have to increase sales of electric vehicles to be competitive, said Maria Ianculescu from France's Automotive Platform. She welcomed the recent news that Slovenia's Revoz will be manufacturing more electric vehicles.
