The automotive sector’s carbon neutrality challenge is shifting upstream from tailpipe emissions to embedded emissions in supply chains including steel, aluminium, batteries, and plastics. Achieving carbon neutrality requires coordinated supply chain decarbonization and circularity efforts, especially in steel procurement, amid regulatory uncertainty and the need for harmonised policies in Europe.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new frontier where zero tailpipe emissions are not enough, and your procurement choices now dictate your carbon impact. The EU’s evolving carbon rules open a window this year to lead supply chain decarbonization or lose competitive ground.
