ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

The current decline is ales of diesel light duty vehicle in Europe does not put EU CO 2 targets out of reach of automakers, according to a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). In addition, vehicle manufacturers increasingly use electric motors to complement conventional combustion engines in cars.
