2025 CO2 Regulation: the next step to tackling transport emissions

June 17, 2015

This briefing paper explains why setting 2025 CO2 standards for cars and vans offers benefits for drivers in lower fuel costs, job creation, energy security and tackling climate change. It is available in full and summarised versions.

The paper highlights how the EU is falling behind in developing advanced efficient powertrains compared to competitors in Asia; and that due to testing flexibilities by 2021 the average vehicle is still likely to emit 150g CO₂/km – meaning less than half of the anticipated savings through the regulation will be delivered.
