Daimler Buses urges EU to delay intercity bus, coach CO₂ targets to 2033 over charging shortfall

• Daimler Buses urged the EU to postpone intercity bus and coach CO₂ targets from 2030 to 2033, citing inadequate public charging infrastructure.
• The targets require a 43% emissions reduction against the 2025/2026 reference value; necessary charging infrastructure is at least three years behind schedule.
• CEO Till Oberwörder warned that vehicles would be available on time, but insufficient public charging infrastructure would prevent customers from operating them economically.
• The manufacturer supports the EU requirement for 90% of new city buses to be CO₂-neutral from 2030.
• It also called for Germany to maintain electric bus funding at current levels, opposing cuts under discussion for 2027.
