EEA final data shows average car CO2 emissions in Europe kept increasing in 2019

Green Car Congress

Average emissions from new passenger cars in Europe increased for the third consecutive year in 2019, reaching 122.3?grams SUVs are typically heavier than other cars and have more powerful engines and larger frontal areas—all features that increase fuel consumption. In 2019, average CO 2 emissions from all new cars reached 122.3

Ninth annual Green Innovation Index finds California light-duty vehicle emissions spike; major challenge to 2030 climate goals

Green Car Congress

Between 2006 and 2015, California’s GDP per capita grew by almost $5,000 per person, nearly double the growth experienced by the US as a whole. At the same time, per capita emissions in the state decreased by 12%. On an absolute basis, California’s total GHG emissions fell only slightly in 2015, down 0.34% from 2014.
