Following on the introduction of R33 Blue Diesel ( earlier post ), Bosch, Shell, and Volkswagen have now developed a low-carbon gasoline. The new fuel, called Blue Gasoline, similarly contains up to 33% renewables, ensuring a well-to-wheel reduction in carbon emissions of at least 20% per kilometer driven.

Average emissions for Germany, Britain, Italy, and Spain increased, ranging from a rise of 0.8 g/km for Germany to an increase of 3.0 Pure electric cars have a 2% market share in France, this being the highest share among all five major markets. The improvement was due to their mix between diesel and pure electric cars.

Achieving our future climate targets calls for other intelligent solutions apart from electromobility. Even if all cars were to drive electrically one day, aircraft, ships, and even trucks will still run mainly on fuel. Pilot projects to commercialize synthetic diesel, gasoline, and gas are currently underway in Norway and Germany.

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 g/km CO 2 emitted.

In Germany, the car, even before market launch, was picked as the overall winner in the VCD Environment List ( VCD Auto-Umweltliste ) and was also awarded the ACVmobile environmental prize (ACVmobil Umweltpreis). Volkswagen used a newly developed three-cylinder gasoline engine with 999 cc displacement (EA211 engine series).

The average diesel car in Europe typically emits about 17% less CO 2 than a similar conventional gasoline car within the same vehicle segment. However, across all vehicle segments, average CO 2 emissions of new diesel and gasoline cars are close (119 grams per kilometer [g/km] vs. 123 g/km, respectively).
