Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

Broadly, the Ford team found that new light-duty vehicle fuel economy and CO 2 regulations in the US through 2025 and in the EU through 2020 are consistent with the CO 2 glide paths. The vehicle glide path targets for 450 ppm beyond 2025 are very challenging for internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). … —Winkler et al.

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

Green Car Congress

These targets will help push the transition from conventional combustion-engine vehicles to clean ones, the EC said. Starting from 2021, the emission targets will be based on the new emissions test procedure, the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), which was introduced on 1 September 2017.

UK auto industry warns anti-diesel agenda and slow uptake of EVs could mean missing 2021 CO2 targets; rising CO2 average in 2017

Green Car Congress

The UK automotive industry warned that the current anti-diesel agenda combined with the ongoing slow take-up of electric vehicles could mean industry misses its next round of CO 2 targets in 2021, with negative consequences for the UK’s own climate change goals. to a new low of 165.4 to a new low of 165.4 of the UK’s 2.5

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.
