As part of a newly released Clean Mobility package, the European Commission is proposing a 30% reduction in average CO 2 emissions for new cars and vans from 2021 to 2030. For determining that share, account is taken of the emission performance of the vehicles concerned. The proposal includes targets both for 2025 and 2030.
