On Thursday night, Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on revised CO2 emissions reduction targets for new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
As part of that plan, the legal limit for cars' CO2 emissions is due to fall by nearly a fifth to under 94 grams per kilometre next year — a deadline the car industry now says it cannot...
To achieve a net zero transport system by 2050, only emissions-free cars should be sold from 2035 at the very latest – which EU law now requires carmakers to do. The most optimal, efficient and convenient zero emission technology available to drivers across Europe today is battery electric cars. Analyses of full lifecycle emissions show that electric cars in Europe emit, on average, almost three times less CO 2 than equivalent petrol/diesel cars. Electric cars hit nearly 16% sales share in Eur...
This briefing provides an overview of official CO2 emission levels of new passenger cars in the European Union (EU) in 2022 based on a preliminary dataset released by the European Environment Agenc...
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Wednesday the European Union's 2035 target to end the sale of carbon-dioxide (CO2) emitting cars shows a "self-destructive" position on industrial and...
Bigger, more powerful cars have negated the impact of tighter CO2 emissions regulations in the EU, a report by the bloc's internal auditor found Thursday.
He asks: Do electric car batteries take more CO2 to make than... of CO2 produced by the manufacture of an electric vehicle is... In terms of CO2 emissions from driving, EV-related emissions...
This tool shows the life-cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars and compares their environmental footprint.
Cars ; With climate change and global warming ravaging our planet, carbon emissions are one of the biggest modern concerns. Extreme weather and rising summer temperatures are the results of atmospheric changes due to carbon emissions, so it's natural to wonder what your personal impact is. Because vehicles are the most visible and obvious contributors to our individual carbon footprints, many want to know more about how much their vehicle contributes. Fortunately, you can also use the EPA's hous...
ACEA takes note that the final CO2 deal – reached last October between the European Commission, Parliament and Council – includes references to the possible future role of renewable fuels in the transport sector. ACEA is convinced that the national and European climate targets should not be called into question. To achieve these goals, technology openness remains essential. Europe needs to retain the agility to respond to different needs and to adapt to changing circumstances. ACEA also calls on policy makers to address emissions from the e ...
