    The Commission is urged to make an effective car CO2 proposal including:
    •    A binding sales target for zero emission vehicles of at least 15% in 2020 and 35% in 2030
    •    An overall level of emissions reductions should be at least 35% from 2021 – 2030 with a binding mid-term target in 2025
    •    An enforcement mechanism to ensure that the FULL emissions cut is delivered on the road
