China's BYD in advanced talks to form pool in Europe over carbon credits
Adds context in paragraphs 5-8
TURIN, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Chinese EV giant BYD 002594.SZ is in talks to form a pool with European automakers and sell them carbon credits to help them avoid hefty European Union fines on 2025 emissions, a BYD representative said on Monday.
"We're in talks, we are well underway," BYD's special adviser for Europe Alfredo Altavilla said during a car presentation in Italy.
He did not offer further details.
Earlier this year automakers announced the creation of two pools, one with EV maker Tesla TSLA.O, Stellantis STLA.MI, Toyota 7203.T, Ford F.N, Mazda 7261.T, Subaru 7270.T, and another one between Germany's Mercedes MBGn.DE, Polestar, Volvo Cars VOLCARb.ST and Smart.
Companies with lower EV sales can pool their emissions with EV market leaders, purchasing emissions credits from them to lower their overall averages and save them hundreds of millions of euros in EU fines.
Automakers have to notify the European Commission of pooling agreements by December 31 of each year.
Brussels can request extra information about the agreements, but not assess their commercial terms.
Pool participants must not share data or exchange information other than about average specific emissions of CO2, specific emissions targets and the total number of vehicles registered.
