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

Green Car Congress

MARCH 19, 2018

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). Hybrid electric vehicles can provide efficiency gains over diesel power trains at lower CO 2 abatement costs.
