Clare Senator Calls For Withdrawal From EU Directive On Electric Rental Cars

Clare's senator has called for Ireland to withdraw from an EU Directive that requires commercial fleets to transition to EVs by the end of the decade. The European Commission's clean corporate vehicles proposal would require rental car companies to ensure upwards of 90% of fleets are electric. Junior Transport Minster Sean Canney says no deal on the directive has yet been signed, with negotiations still ongoing. Ennistymon Senator Martin Conway says Clare's airport rental industry would collapse overnight.
