Average CO2 emissions from new light-duty vehicles registered in Europe increased in 2018, requiring significant future emission reductions to meet upcoming 2020 and 2021 targets

21/06/2019The average CO2 emissions of new light-duty vehicles registered in the EU and Iceland in 2018 stayed well below the applicable targets, according to provisional data published by the European Environment Agency. However, average CO2 emissions of both new passenger cars and new vans were higher in 2018 than in 2017. Manufacturers will have to significantly reduce emissions of their fleet to meet the upcoming 2020 and 2021 targets.

The data shows that the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, measured in laboratory tests, of new passenger cars registered in the EU and Iceland in 2018 were 120.4 grams of CO2 per kilometre, which is below the current target of 130 g/km. However, average emissions increased by 2 grams per km compared to 2017.

Climate change “mitigation impossible” without transport

Info

As the source of substantial and rapidly growing greenhouse

gas emissions, transport must clearly be part of a global agreement to mitigate

climate change. In its current form, however, the Kyoto Protocol ignores the

international maritime and aviation sectors. The omission is perhaps not

surprising — after all, setting up a system to allocate international

transport’s emissions to individual countries is no easy task. But it is a

significant flaw, since the two sectors together account for around a quarter

of all transport emissions.

Despite its shortcomings, the COP-15 climate summit in

December 2009 succeeded in bringing transport closer to climate mitigation

discussions. Almost all participants recognised that international transport

emissions need to be addressed as part of broader efforts to mitigate climate

change. Co..
