EU strengthens targets for CO2 emissions for new cars and vans

Unión Europea
Brussels, Oct 27 (Prensa Latina) The Council and the European Parliament reached a provisional political agreement on stricter CO2 emission performance standards for new cars and vans. The purpose is to move towards a zero-emission mobility.

The EU reported in a statement that while awaiting the adoption of a formal legal initiative, the bloc agreed to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% for brand-new cars and 50% for new vans by 2030.

Meanwhile, EU authorities also stressed that in the case of tourism vehicles and vans, 2035 should arrive with 100% CO2-free emissions.

Closing a first deal on a proposal from the ‘Fit for 55’ package is a strong signal that the EU is determined to make progress towards climate neutrality and the green transition.

Zero-emission mobility will be a building block for slowing down climate change that can create severe disruptions in many sectors of our society, including environment, migration, food security and the economy.
