JATO: European new car CO2 emissions highest average since 2014; shift from diesel to gasoline and SUVs rise

Green Car Congress

MARCH 5, 2019

The analysis covered 23 markets in Europe and found a direct correlation between diesel car registrations and average CO2 emissions. The total value of CO2 emissions was on a steady decline from 2007, but started to slowdown in 2016 as the fall reduced from -4.1 g/km to 120.5 —Felipe Munoz, JATO’s global analyst.
