Skoda says it will need to close plant if Euro 7 proposal isn't revised

The Czech automaker builds the three models at its plant Mlada Boleslav. The proposed Euro 7 law, which EU countries and lawmakers will start negotiating this year, would tighten limits on the health-harming pollutants emitted by cars, including nitrogen oxides. Overall, more than 10,000 jobs would be at risk in the Czech Republic, including at Skoda's suppliers, Jahn said. The three smaller models represented nearly a third of Skoda's deliveries to customers in 2022. Transport ministers from the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia met on last Monday to discuss their efforts to change the Euro 7 proposal.
