Europe Tightens CO2 Standards with Two Directives
Europe Tightens CO2 Standards with Two Directives
The European Commission has proposed two directives to combat CO2 emissions from cars.
The first proposal will force carmakers to cut CO2 emissions from new cars by 18% by 2012. Carmakers would be responsible for getting emissions down to 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer (g/km) through technology improvements.
The second proposal, which updates a fuel-quality directive from 1998, outlines new fuel-quality standards that aim to achieve, by 2020, a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions throughout the whole product life cycle.
