EU parliament voted on Tuesday in favor of limiting carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars to an average of 95 grams per kilometer by 2020.
– compromise means that Europe continues to be at the forefront when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. The target of 95g would save 15 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year, says Thomas Ulmer, who led Parliament’s work on the law in a press release.
During the period from 2020 to 2022, manufacturers will be able to use “super credits’ cars which are extremely low-emission can be weighted more than others when you calculate a manufacturer’s average. In 2020, a car emitting less than 50 g / km will be counted as two cars, the 2021 count such a car as 1.67 cars and in 2022, it counts as 1.33 cars. After each count cars as much.
goal of 95g/km will be phased in during 2020, then it will only apply to 95 percent of the new cars.
The new test systems for cars such as the UN is taking forward (World Light Duty Test Procedure, WLTP) and which is expected to be better at showing the emissions they really formed under ordinary driving conditions, should take effect as soon as possible. The European Commission has said it supports a deadline by 2017.
Before the rules are formally takes effect, they also confirmed by EU countries’ Ministers.
