If the climate targets set by the Paris conference are to be achieved, CO 2 emissions from traffic worldwide will have to be reduced 50% over the next four decades, and by at least 85% in the advanced economies, Bosch notes. Even if all cars were to drive electrically one day, aircraft, ships, and even trucks will still run mainly on fuel.
