JATO: new car CO2 emissions rise for the first time in a decade in Europe; diesel down, gasoline up, SUVs up

Green Car Congress

This rise in average CO 2 emissions correlates with a decrease in demand for diesel cars across Europe—which produce lower CO 2 emissions than gasoline cars—and the rising popularity of SUVs, which emit higher average CO 2 emissions of 133.0 g/km, compared to gasoline cars, which had an average of 123.4

JATO: new car average CO2 emissions highest in Europe since 2014; slow EV uptake insufficient to counter fewer diesels and more SUVs

Green Car Congress

As expected, the combination of fewer diesel registrations and more SUVs continued to have an impact on emissions. Despite an increase of EV models contributing positively to emission levels, the move away from diesel had a negative impact, one that the market could not offset. BEVs for every diesel car registered.

EEA: average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans in Europe increased in 2018

Green Car Congress

The main factors contributing to the increase of new passenger cars’ emissions in 2018 include the growing share of gasoline cars in new registrations, in particular in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment. Moreover, the market penetration of zero- and low-emission vehicles, including electric cars, remained slow in 2018.

EEA: average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans in Europe increased again in 2019

Green Car Congress

The market penetration of electric cars remained slow in 2019. Several factors affected this emission increase, including an increase in the average mass and only a limited increase of the share of electric vans (BEV sand PHEV) from 0.8% On average, the CO 2 emissions of diesel cars (127.0 g CO 2 /km—0.5 in 2018 to 1.3%

SEAT pushes forward with CNG line-up

Green Car Congress

It provides the opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions without impacting on our vehicles’ distinctive characteristics. A CNG vehicle reduces CO 2 emissions by about 25% compared to a gasoline-driven equivalent. Only a pure electric vehicle running on 100% renewable energy would offer a better overall outcome.

Study for European Parliament assesses options for turning CO2 into methanol for use in transport

Green Car Congress

However, long-term trends in energy consumption for transport in Europe show that the potential for CO 2 abatement and the need for greater fuel flexibility are also extremely relevant for diesel road transport and aviation, and, in terms of enhanced security of supply, for the European economy and society at large. 2009, earlier post.
