| |  | “CONCORDIA” TRANS!
The Greek word “omonoia” in Spanish? Although there is not a perfectly equivalent translation, the word “concordia” is the closest match to the Greek “omonoia”, capturing the concepts of unity, agreement, and harmony. These very ideas also reflect our relationship with our partners from Spain, who recently visited us!
We warmly welcomed our correspondents from the Iberian Peninsula and traveled with them to visit important clients and professional partners. This opportunity allowed us to blend work with pleasure, further strengthening the dynamics of our relationships.
Lastly, as part of a beloved tradition, we exchanged gifts that highlighted the appreciation and respect we hold for our partnership. This visit followed our own trip to Spain a few months ago, reaffirming our ongoing commitment to continuous growth and the deepening of our ties.

| | | CO2 Emissions from Large Trucks: 90% Reduction by 2040 The European Parliament has approved new measures aimed at advancing the reduction targets for carbon dioxide emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. The regulation, which was previously agreed upon in principle with member states and concerns emissions from new trucks, buses, and trailers, was passed by the Parliament with 341 votes in favor, 268 against, and 14 abstentions.
CO2 emissions from large trucks (including garbage trucks, dump trucks, and concrete mixers), as well as buses, are required to be reduced by 45% between 2030-2034, 65% for the period 2035-2039, and by 90% from 2040 onwards.
But is this feasible? The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) has expressed reservations, noting that the timeline for implementation is challenging, given the current conditions. ACEA emphasizes the need for infrastructure for electric charging and hydrogen refueling, comprehensive carbon pricing mechanisms, and substantial support measures to enable transport companies to make the necessary investments. | | | | |
