PARIS (Reuters) -Renault boss Francois Provost said on Tuesday no carmaker in Europe can meet emission targets on vans or cars by 2030, calling for flexibility on the European Union’s CO2 targets. Speaking at an event organised by French car body PFA, Provost added Renault should be able to reduce its production of utility vehicles by the end of 2025 or early 2026 without impacting its broader European targets.

Provost had told France 2 TV on Monday that Renault was asking for a 10-year delay on the EU’s ban on thermal engines.
