France and Germany unite on the future of the car industry

France and Germany have reached an agreement on the direction of the automotive industry’s future. Europe’s two leading manufacturing countries want to protect competitiveness and jobs during the transition to low-emission vehicles.

The deal is intended to create a common position towards Brussels, calling for stronger support for the supply chain, less punitive industrial conditions and measures to promote electric cars. Italy is also directly involved, as part of the same European production network.
