Volvo Car led CO2 reductions among European automakers in 2010 due partly to diesel success

Green Car Congress

The current European regulation on cars and CO 2 strives to achieve a 130 g/km average figure by 2015. Automaker targets for 2015 are differentiated on the basis of the weight of the vehicles they produce in 2015 compared with the average weight of the vehicles the entire industry will produce over the 2011-13 period.
