## Toyota Proposes EU Zero-Emission Rule
Toyota wants the EU to count some gasoline cars as zero-emission vehicles if they run exclusively on approved renewable fuels.
## VEEF Classification Criteria
VEEF covers vehicles designed to run only on renewable fuels like organic waste, biomass residues, or synthetic e-fuels.
## EU Emission Rules Timeline
Current EU rules require 100% fleet CO2 cuts by 2035, but VEEF offers a 90% reduction with renewable fuel offsets.
## Spain Pilot Program
Toyota runs a six-month pilot in Spain with 20 vehicles using Repsol's 100% renewable gasoline from July 2026.
## Verification Challenges
Regulators need digital verification to ensure millions of cars never use conventional gasoline during the trial period.
## Key takeaway

Toyota wants EU to count certain gasoline cars as zero-emission vehicles using renewable fuels.
