Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. This limited increase means that the EU is still expected to achieve its 2020 emissions reduction target, albeit by a narrower margin. The rise is mostly due to the increase of oil consumption from road transport.

Volkswagen is the first automaker to transport most of its new vehicles overseas using low-emission LNG ships. After the first two LNG car carriers entered service in 2020, Volkswagen Group Logistics has now ordered four more ships with dual-fuel engines that can be powered with LNG. The use of LNG not only reduces CO 2 emissions.
