EC proposes 30% CO2 reduction from 2021 to 2030 for light-duty vehicles

Green Car Congress

The proposal also includes the already established EU fleet wide targets for 2020/2021 of 95 g CO 2 /km for passenger cars and 147 g CO 2 /km for light commercial vehicles, both of which are based on the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) test procedure. As a consequence, a zero-emission vehicle is counted more than a low-emission vehicle.
