Fismic-Confsal, CESI member organisation, has joined forces with industry partners in a joint statement coordinated by ACEA calling for urgent EU action to protect Europe’s commercial vehicle sector.
At a time of profound transformation for the automotive ecosystem, the initiative highlights the growing pressure on manufacturers, supply chains, and — crucially — workers. The sector, a cornerstone of Europe’s economy, is facing rising costs, regulatory challenges, and global competition that threaten both industrial resilience and quality employment.
Through its participation, Fismic brings forward key trade union priorities:
- Ensuring a fair and realistic transition towards climate neutrality
- Protecting jobs, skills, and working conditions across the value chain
- Promoting technological neutrality and innovation
- Strengthening social dialogue as a cornerstone of EU industrial policy.
This joint call underlines a clear message: Europe’s green and digital transitions must go hand in hand with industrial competitiveness and social sustainability.
CESI welcomes the active engagement of Fismic in this important initiative, reinforcing the role of social partners in shaping a balanced, forward-looking automotive policy.
