EMISSIONS: Lobby Asks EU to Include More Road CO2 Emissions Technologies
EMISSIONS
The EU should include different technologies in its planned emissions targets review for automakers, a statement by the European Diesel Board said last week.
- “All breakthrough technologies with CO2 emissions reduction potential, should be allowed to contribute to complement electrification in the decarbonisation of the road transport system, leaving both the market and the consumer the choice of the most suitable and cost-effective options”, the statement said.
- Earlier this year, the European car industry lobby (ACEA) urged the EU in a letter to implement emergency regulations to postpone its 2025 emissions targets for automakers by two years.
- From 2025 to 2034, the EU set new emissions targets for the auto sector which include 93,6 g CO2/km (2025-2029) and 49,5 g CO2/km (2030-2034) for cars and 153,9 g CO2/km (2025-2029) and 90,6 g CO2/km (2030-2034) for vans.
