Opel also estimates it will reduce the average carbon tailpipe emissions from its fleet by 27% by 2020. The rollout of these technologies in new GM US models between 2011 and 2016 is expected to improve the fuel economy of our fleet by more than 18 percent, which will translate into a more than 15 percent reduction in CO 2 emissions.
