Green Car Congress

The 2015 target of 130 g CO 2 /km was already met in 2013, 2 years before the deadline. Oil consumption by the transport sector will need to fall by more than two-thirds to meet the objective of reducing consumption by 70% by 2050 compared with 2008 levels. In 2016, average emissions decreased by 1.5 in 2015 to 7.1% Air pollution.
