Average CO2 emissions from new cars and vans registered in Europe increased in 2018, requiring significant emission reductions to meet the 2020 targets
The average CO2 emissions of new light-duty vehicles registered in the EU and Iceland in 2018 stayed well below the applicable targets, according to final data published by the European Environment Agency. However, average CO2 emissions of both new passenger cars and new vans increased compared to 2017. Manufacturers will have to significantly reduce emissions of their fleet to meet the stricter targets that apply from this year on.
