De Japanse fabrikant juicht meer flexibiliteit voor hybride auto\u2019s toe, maar waarschuwt dat het uitsluiten van betrouwbare handelspartners zoals Turkije en Japan het concurrentievermogen zou kunnen ondermijnen dat Europa juist probeert te beschermen.<\/p>\n<h4>Duitsland krijgt zijn hybride auto\u2019s, Frankrijk zijn protectionisme<\/h4>\n<p>De overeenkomst, die donderdag tijdens de Europese top in Brussel tot stand is gekomen, zou een einde kunnen maken aan de maandenlange impasse rond twee belangrijke wetsvoorstellen: de CO\u2082-doelstellingen van de EU voor de automobielsector en de Industrial Accelerator Act.<\/p>\n<p>Duitsland heeft verdere concessies weten te bedingen met betrekking tot de emissievoorschriften voor 2035. De Europese Commissie had al voorgesteld om het feitelijke verbod op nieuwe auto\u2019s met verbrandingsmotoren te vervangen door een verplichting voor fabrikanten om hun gemiddelde CO\u2082-uitstoot met 90% te verminderen.<\/p>\n<p>De Commissie wilde echter dat de resterende 10% werd gecompenseerd door middel van kredieten die gekoppeld zijn aan hernieuwbare brandstoffen of Europees koolstofarm staal. In het Frans-Duitse compromis vervalt die compensatieverplichting.<\/p>\n<p>Dit zou het voor fabrikanten gemakkelijker maken om na 2035 auto\u2019s met verbrandingsmotoren en hybride auto\u2019s te blijven verkopen, hoewel de reductiedoelstelling voor het totale wagenpark nog steeds ambitieus is.<\/p>\n<p>Een andere concessie betreft de zogenaamde superkredieten. Deze stimuleringsmaatregelen, die oorspronkelijk bedoeld waren om kleine, betaalbare elektrische auto\u2019s te stimuleren, zouden worden uitgebreid naar elektrische auto\u2019s van alle groottes, wat mogelijk ten goede zou komen aan Duitse premiumfabrikanten.<\/p>\n<h4>Een engere definitie van \u2018Made in Europe\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>In ruil daarvoor ging Berlijn akkoord met de eis van Frankrijk om bij overheidssubsidies en overheidsopdrachten meer voorrang te geven aan Europese producten. De voorgestelde wet inzake industri\u00eble stimulering heeft tot doel ervoor te zorgen dat overheidsgeld wordt gebruikt ter ondersteuning van in Europa geproduceerde voertuigen en onderdelen, in plaats van louter ten goede te komen aan fabrikanten die uit het buitenland importeren.<\/p>\n<p>Duitsland had eerder gepleit voor een bredere <em>\u201cDe \u201dMade with Europe\u201c-aanpak, die het volgende omvat:<\/em>\u00a0talrijke internationale handelspartners.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens het compromis zou de deelname beperkt blijven tot de 27 lidstaten van de EU, met enkele uitzonderingen voor nauwe partners zoals Groot-Brittanni\u00eb en Noorwegen. De deelname van Groot-Brittanni\u00eb zou kunnen afhangen van de mate waarin het land zich aansluit bij Europese handelsbeschermingsmaatregelen, waaronder invoerheffingen op Chinese elektrische voertuigen.<\/p>\n<p>Landen als Turkije, Japan en Zuid-Korea zouden daardoor van bepaalde Europese industri\u00eble stimuleringsmaatregelen kunnen worden uitgesloten.<\/p>\n<h4>Toyota: \u2018We zijn geen gasten in Europa\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>Toyota\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.toyota.eu\/made-with-europe---toyota-calls-for-partnership-and-pragmatism-to-secure-europes-automotive-competitiveness\/\">het antwoord kwam vrijdagochtend<\/a>, slechts enkele uren nadat het akkoord bekend was geworden. \u201cToyota is geen gast in Europa. Wij zijn een Europese fabrikant en wij willen dat de Europese auto-industrie succesvol is\u201d, aldus Yoshihiro Nakata, president en CEO van Toyota Motor Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota is voorstander van een CO\u2082-reductiedoelstelling van 90% voor 2035, een grotere erkenning van hernieuwbare brandstoffen en een geleidelijkere overgang voor hybride voertuigen en bedrijfsvoertuigen.<\/p>\n<p>Maar de organisatie verzet zich krachtig tegen een eng gedefinieerd systeem van Europese voorkeur en pleit voor <em>\u201cGemaakt met Europa\u201d in plaats van \u201cGemaakt in Europa\u201d<\/em>. Het bedrijf wil dat betrouwbare partners op het gebied van vrijhandel en douane-unies, met name Turkije, Japan en Groot-Brittanni\u00eb, in aanmerking blijven komen voor Europese stimuleringsmaatregelen.<\/p>\n<p>Het voorstel houdt in dat de eisen inzake het aandeel van Europese onderdelen geleidelijk worden verhoogd tot 70%, waarbij de regels voor de lokalisatie van auto-onderdelen niet eerder dan in 2030 van kracht worden. \u201cIsolatie maakt ons zwakker\u201d, waarschuwde Matt Harrison, Chief Corporate Officer van Toyota Motor Europe.<\/p>\n<h4>De Turkse paradox<\/h4>\n<p>Het argument van Toyota is meer dan alleen een theoretisch bezwaar. De fabrikant produceert de Yaris en de Yaris Cross in Frankrijk, de Corolla in Groot-Brittanni\u00eb en de C-HR in Turkije. Daarnaast exploiteert het bedrijf Europese fabrieken waar motoren, versnellingsbakken en andere onderdelen worden vervaardigd.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-196156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-10-16-om-11.18.36.png?resize=640%2C358&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-10-16-om-11.18.36-scaled.png?resize=1024%2C573&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-10-16-om-11.18.36-scaled.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Scherm%C2%ADafbeelding-2026-10-16-om-11.18.36-scaled.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Volgens de voorgestelde regels zou een in Groot-Brittanni\u00eb gebouwde Corolla mogelijk in aanmerking komen voor bepaalde Europese stimuleringsmaatregelen, terwijl dat voor een in Turkije gebouwde C-HR wellicht niet het geval is, ondanks het feit dat beide fabrieken deel uitmaken van het gevestigde Europese productienetwerk van Toyota.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota Motor Europe heeft meer dan 26.000 mensen in dienst en heeft sinds 1990 meer dan 12 miljard euro in Europa ge\u00efnvesteerd. Het hoofdkantoor van het bedrijf in Brussel geeft deze confrontatie bovendien een bijzonder Belgische dimensie.<\/p>\n<h4>Een reddingsboei voor hybride auto\u2019s, maar voor wiens hybride auto\u2019s?<\/h4>\n<p>Het compromis legt een tegenstrijdigheid in de Europese industri\u00eble strategie bloot. Terwijl Frankrijk en Duitsland de commerci\u00eble levensduur van hybride voertuigen tot na 2035 willen verlengen, streeft de EU tegelijkertijd naar een betere bescherming tegen de snel groeiende invoer van Chinese hybride voertuigen.<\/p>\n<p>Volkswagen, BMW en Mercedes-Benz zouden kunnen profiteren van meer flexibiliteit in de regelgeving, terwijl Renault en Stellantis voordeel zouden kunnen halen uit stimuleringsmaatregelen voor de Europese productie.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese fabrikanten zoals BYD en Chery zouden onder grotere druk komen te staan om de productie en de inkoop van onderdelen binnen Europa te lokaliseren.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota bevindt zich in een ongebruikelijke situatie: het profiteert van de versoepeling van de emissievoorschriften, maar loopt mogelijk nadeel op door de nieuwe eisen inzake industri\u00eble voorkeursbehandeling.<\/p>\n<p>In Belgi\u00eb, waar bedrijfswagens het grootste deel van de nieuwe registraties uitmaken, zouden toekomstige eisen inzake de herkomst uit Europa op termijn van invloed kunnen zijn op het recht op bepaalde stimuleringsmaatregelen voor wagenparken. De bestaande fiscale voordelen voor bedrijfswagens zouden echter niet automatisch verdwijnen voor ge\u00efmporteerde voertuigen.<\/p>\n<p>De Belgische automobielindustrie, waaronder de Volvo-fabriek in Gent en lokale toeleveranciers van onderdelen, zou kunnen profiteren van strengere eisen inzake het aandeel van Europese onderdelen.<\/p>\n<h4>Bescherming of uitstel?<\/h4>\n<p>De overeenkomst moet nog op bredere steun van de EU-lidstaten en het Europees Parlement kunnen rekenen. Het is nog lang geen wet. Voorstanders stellen dat de Europese auto-industrie ademruimte nodig heeft om banen te behouden, de productie veilig te stellen en de overgang naar elektrische voertuigen te financieren.<\/p>\n<p>Critici vrezen dat soepelere emissievoorschriften en toenemend protectionisme de investeringen zouden kunnen vertragen die nodig zijn om te kunnen concurreren met Chinese fabrikanten die op het gebied van elektrische voertuigen al snel vooruitgang boeken.<\/p>\n<p>De tussenkomst van Toyota brengt het centrale dilemma aan het licht: Europa wil zijn auto-industrie beschermen, maar hoe eng moet het dan defini\u00ebren wat onder Europese productie valt?<\/p>\n<p>De Frans-Duitse overeenkomst zou de Europese autofabrikanten kunnen helpen de overgang te doorstaan. Of ze daardoor concurrerender worden, is een andere vraag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/s2\/favicons?domain=https:\/\/www.afp.com&amp;sz=32\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>AFP<\/div>\n<div>+2<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France and Germany have struck a provisional deal to soften Europe\u2019s 2035 emissions rules in exchange for stronger protection of European car production.
