What Next for the Global Car Industry Global car industry manufacturing clusters
Regions with strong car industries tend to operate as clusters in which supplier factories are located alongside those of parts manufacturers and material producers. This is because close co-ordination between automakers and a wide network of specialised suppliers is essential to keep costs low. Such production ecosystems also facilitate the rapid exchange of complex, often tacit, knowledge, especially during vehicle development phases where design, engineering and manufacturing decisions must be tightly aligned. This interactive map shows global data on car assembly location, as well as more detailed regional automotive clusters.

Regulations Amending the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations and Other Regulations Made Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999: SOR/2018-98
These regulations set performance-based greenhouse gas emission standards for new on-road heavy-duty vehicles (such as highway tractors, buses and dump trucks) and their engines made in 2014 and later years. In 2018, these regulations were amended to introduce more stringent greenhouse gas emission standards that begin with the 2021 model year for on-road heavy-duty vehicles and engines.

Renewable Energy Directive - National transposition of transport target
Plans to expand the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation currently covering biofuels in road transport. Combined biofuels and RFNBO targets are 8% in 2026 increasing to 11%, 14%, 18%, 21.5% towards 2030. The RFNBO targets start at 0.1% in 2028 to 1% in 2029 and 2.5% in 2030. The proposed 2.5% target is higher than the 1% in RED to make sure Ireland meets the RED target despite the use of bonus credits by fuel suppliers which could count hydrogen more than once. This is the same reason why the combined quota (21.5%) is also above…

Go Electric Campaign
The "GO Electric" campaign was launched by the Ministry of Power (MoP) and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on 19th February 2021 to spread awareness on the benefits of e-mobility, charging infrastructure and electric cooking. The campaign is aimed at creating awareness at the national level and aims to boost the confidence of electric vehicle manufacturers and consumers. MoP's Bureau of Energy Efficiency leads the campaign, providing technical support to State Governments to ensure a wide reach of information.
