Renewable-methanol fueled Geely cars in fleet testing in Iceland; 70% reduction in WTW CO2 compared to gasoline

Green Car Congress

The average in-use emissions were calculated as 46 g CO2 per kilometer, accounting for the consumption of both fuels. Compared to gasoline or diesel methanol however offers much cleaner combustion, free of soot and emits no traces of sulphur or carcinogenic compounds which are formed in the combustion of liquid fossil fuels.

Euro Parliament Environment Committee approves 147 g CO2/km target for light commercial vehicles by 2020; caps van speed

Green Car Congress

To enable automakers to reach the 147g target, innovation should be encouraged by giving “super-credit” weightings to each maker’s cleaner vehicles, the committee said. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) said the scheme should apply to manufacturers producing more than 1,000 vehicles a year. vans in 2014, falling to 1.3

The agreement also provides for “super-credit” weightings for each manufacturer’s cleaner cars (50g threshold) from 2020 to 2023. The European Commission is to indicate its support for a 2017 deadline. The new UN-defined World Light Duty Test Procedure (WLTP) should come into force at the earliest opportunity, the text says.

Euro Parliament committee approves new 95 g/km CO2 target for cars; super credits and a switch to WLTP

Green Car Congress

Car makers would therefore have to produce, in addition to older, heavier or polluting models, enough cleaner ones to achieve a balance of 95g en 2020, on pain of penalties. Any increase in the emissions target for each manufacturer deriving from the “super-credits” calculation would be capped at 2.5
