By Badar Shaikh | March 04, 2026, 3:50 AM

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has reportedly lost Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:STLA) from its carbon credits pool in the European Union.

Tesla Loses A Revenue Stream

Toyota and Stellantis have pulled out of Tesla's CO2 emissions pool for 2026, filings obtained by Electrek showed on Tuesday. The report says that the two automakers were among the biggest customers of carbon credits in the region

Tesla's pool reportedly included the likes of Leapmotor, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F), Honda Motor Corp (NYSE:HMC), as well as other Japanese automakers like Mazda, Subaru, and Suzuki, besides Toyota and Stellantis.

Toyota believes that it can cut back on emissions on its own, while it expands its lineup with electric offerings like the bZ4X and the recently unveiled Urban Cruiser, built in collaboration with Suzuki. Meanwhile, Stellantis wants to form its own independent pool with Leapmotor, the report said.

Toyota and Stellantis did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s requests for comment.

Carbon Credits

The news comes as another blow to Tesla's revenue stream, which reported losing over $2.7 billion in regulatory credit revenue following the President Donald Trump administration's decision to roll back Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

The automaker has also reported declining sales figures, with Tesla sales falling over 17% in Europe as rival BYD Co. Ltd.'s (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF) overseas sales remained strong.

Benzinga Edge Rankings show that Tesla scores well on the Momentum metric and offers a favorable price trend in the Long Term.

Price Action: TSLA slipped 2.98% to $392.43 at market close on Tuesday, falling 0.29% further to $391.29 during after-hours trading.
