EEA: almost all Euro car makers met specific 2017 CO2 targets on new sales, but emissions up year-on-year

Green Car Congress

All but three European car manufacturers met their specific emission targets in 2017, based on current European vehicle test rules. Nevertheless, average carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new cars sold in the European Union in 2017 rose by 0.4g g CO 2 /km in 2017 to 118.5 g CO 2 /km, from 118.1 g CO 2 /km from 2016.

UK auto industry warns anti-diesel agenda and slow uptake of EVs could mean missing 2021 CO2 targets; rising CO2 average in 2017

Green Car Congress

The warning came as a new report published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) confirmed that the fleet average CO 2 of newly registered cars rose for the first time in 2017, despite vehicles becoming ever more efficient. These ongoing improvements mean average CO 2 is still a third (-33.1%) lower than in 2000.
